Product reviews of FishPond Confluence Net Release - Fly Fishing

R M P : Four Stars

works well

DH : Five Stars

Nice net release finally a magnet that works!

capt_g : Strong Magnet

Very strong magnet that will keep your net in place while wading/hiking, but still easy enough to break away with a fish on. Stay away from the cheap imitations with weak magnets. Not worth risking your net!

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

Kilmore : Excellent item...

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

capt_g : Strong Magnet

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.

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

awsome

GrooveColo : Great looks don't mean everything...

Like others, I found the magnets extremely strong. I too had a little trouble with hook up. The magnets are inserted into the housing (green) and the lip between the two magnets is tight and forms an excellent edge and seal. For the blind hookup to happen (as in life), the edges need to be a bit more blunt and forgiving. I also found the rings not quite strong enough to provide for the quick and sudden yank that one does when netting the big one.

The rubber gasket for wrapping around the hoop end of your net is a nice touch. It helped in position the magnet for easier hookup.

For Fishpond and the price point, I was expecting more.

Fool me once : Hardware is cheap

I don’t know what’s been happening to fishpond lately but two years ago I bought this net leash and it was amazing! I decided to get a second and first time using the leash ring straightened like a cheap slinky when I grabbed my net… I have replaced the ring with a sturdy after market one, but two years ago fishpond was the best… now, shoddy components, lousy floatant holders, what is going on….

Kevin Fridman : Magnets are too strong

Got this set up and tried it out. Magnets are way too strong for the rings that hold everything together. I had to pull so hard to separate them the reigns stretched way out ou round. I suspect a few more pulls will stretch them out all together. But, it looks great!

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.

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

Outstanding - it works great.
