Questions about FishPond Confluence Net Release - Fly Fishing

11 or 12 pound real ease which is it?

Answer: 8lb magnet pull force

What weight does the magnets support up to?

Answer: - 8lb magnet pull force

Answer: My net release is attached to a midsized net which is about 2lbs, however the magnet is an 8lb pull force.

Answer: Fishpond specs say it's an 8lb pull force, and in our experience, it easily holds all of the small to mid-size fishpond nets with ease.

Product reviews of FishPond Confluence Net Release - Fly Fishing

Bryan : Magnet holds tight for me, but I worry about how rugged the plastic coil is.

I have had no issues so far with this, even though I was a little hesitant to purchase based on the reviews. It holds my net just fine and I don't seem to have to an issue getting it linked back up with one hand. The machined magnetic part is quality, but the plastic coil part is questionable over the long term. It could easily be replaced with another one if needed, but I would hate for it to fail at the wrong time while on the water. It looks like all of these use a similar quality coil so I may be overthinking this. Time will tell.

As for price... of course it is grossly overpriced! Fishpond holds a trademark on grossly overpriced fly gear, but it is what it is. I am hoping like many of my other Fishpond products, this is a "buy once, cry once" product.

Long Beach Bass : Strong magnet - works perfect for my net.

Outstanding - it works great.

Harpua : Attaches great, another quality Fishpond product

Like others, I was hesitant to buy because of other negative reviews. The magnetic attachment piece on mine is incredibly strong and attaches back just fine.

Greg : This is a good magnet/leash combo

This is a good magnet/leash combo. I would have rated it 4 or 5 stars, but the magnet is actually TOO strong for my backpack/net and it makes it awkward to pull and release. If you have a larger net and/or hike rough terrain where your net may snag or dislodge, this is the leash for you

Cutler Dunn : Very Strong Magnet

I have bought 3 new nets already because the bungee string on my old nets would snap and the net would float away. I bought this in hopes I wouldn’t have to buy another net for a while and save myself from more frustration of losing another. Right when I opened the packaging, I knew it was high quality. The magnet is very strong and holds my pretty heavy wooden net to my back on my sling pack. The rubberized cord stretches more than far enough to net a fish on my own and. This magnetic release is lit ????!! I recommended it to all my fishing buddies

Sagerods : Not bad

Everything but the magnets are pretty good. I bought this from my local fly shop and at first it’s pretty nice and works well….. except for the magnets. They pull nice when retrieving the net but they can’t find each other when you try to connect them again. I have to use two hands to basically find both magnets, line them up and then make sure they connect evenly so it has a decent connection. Would be worth the money if they had better magnets in it, but I’d say it’s overpriced and you’re paying for the name on this one.

BBQ Freak : Top Qualität

Bin ein Fan von Fishpond - die Qualität ist einfach super. Für jeglichen Kescher geeignet. Super funktional- so wie das Fliegenfischen eben sein muss.

Jon M. : Do not use with Fishpond Summit sling

I got this thinking I could attach it to my Summit sling pack, but the attachment point hangs too low. With the net attached it hams well below my waste and into the water. It also leaves the net in a precarious position when you rotate the pack to your front to access it. This seems better suited for a vest. Also, the magnet is VERY strong. It takes some effort to pull your net off.

floorit : Magnet to strong .. useless

Magnet is actually too strong… Will not detach from my back when I try to pull the net off ... basically useless for my application

Kilmore : Excellent item...

Solid construction, well thought out attachment hardware, a good item for your kit.

Sagerods : Not bad

Mitchell Tarter : Perfect

Perfect for keeping my catch and release fish net from floating away while taking a photo of a big rainbow.
