Questions about FishPond Nomad Emerger Net

is the Emerger a midlength net?

Answer: No, it is more of a hand net.

Answer:

Answer: Yes. It is about 32 inches in total length. Net section is a 20 inches long by 10 inches wide. Handle is about 12 inches long.

Answer: It is 32 inches long

What are the dimensions of this net? overall length? width? net length? depth of net?

Answer: The dimensions should be on the Fishpond website. As a long time fisherman, it's the best one I've ever had (i've owned two, my first one floated away while I was fighting a rainbow)- It has the depth to securely hold a two foot + fish and the reach to go out and net those difficult ones when you don't have someone to net it for you. I've used it from a raft, although a longer handle would be better in that situation. This net would be at home in all Rivers and Lakes in North America unless you were targeting pike/muskie, giant steelhead, or maybe 30 inch rainbows in Alaska. I'm a fan!

Answer:

Answer: Go to fish pond website

How hard is it to get out of a pack

Answer: Not hard.

Is there an advantage to a black net vs clear?

Answer: I think it is more for aesthetics. What I have read is the clear net will not frighten the fish like a black net can - that is if your worried about scaring a fish that has a hook in its mouth. Either way this is an excellent net.

Any sort of warranty?

Answer: We honor all manufacturers warranties, has long as the defect(s) are not caused by misuse of product. Please see Fishponds warranty policy on their official website for further info.

Answer: Not sure but based on the materials used, I wouldn't think you would need one. It is extremely durable. You will not be disappointed. Also, the additional reach is a huge plus. I carry on my back wading, it is about as long as you would want for wading. I had a smaller net and would lose a few fish when netting because I had to get them really close, not the case anymore. Haven't lost a fish with this net.

Does this net include the clear rubber or the black rubber net?

Answer: The "River Armor" series come with black rubber nets.

Answer: This is going to be black.

What country are these manufactured in?

Answer: While all design and development happens in Denver, CO, the actual manufacturing is done in China.

Answer: Colorado Usa

Will this net work with the summit sling pack?

Answer: Yes

Does anyone have experience w this net in Saltwater? Thx!!

Answer: I do not but I cannot imagine there would be any adverse affect from saltwater use. Carbon fiber frame and plastic netting.

BisonHiker : Best net hands down! Epic!

Best fishing net I’ve ever used and probably the last one I’ll ever need! Amazing quality by the Fishpond folks! Lightweight, durable and it floats! Couple this with the confluence net release and it’s a perfect match! Some think it’s pricey but I feel it’s the best net for the money and I know I’ll have this the rest of my life on the rivers! Absolutely worth every dollar!!

The product came immediately and is a gift, so was forwarded to the proper family. Have no idea how it is but am sure will eventually hear from the fisherman it went to!

Louis L. : Would not buy again, but not because of quality issues

There were no specs in the description, so I went with the reviews and ordered it anyway. Big mistake. I'm 6 feet tall, 190 pounds, but I found this net to be too big for normal wading. I have fished big rivers and small streams from South America to Alaska. This net is more than needed, and it's too unwieldy for fishing in brushy area.
The quality in and of itself seems to be excellent. Well constructed, although surprisingly heavy. The netting is tight enough to prevent small fish falling through like some nets.
There is no cord of any kind for attaching to your vest or pack, but there is a hole in the handle to accommodate one.
I returned it to Amazon within 2 hours, and the process was seamless. 5 stars to Amazon for the return process!
I will probably buy this net in a smaller size.

EMac69 : Great net

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. Great quality!
