NGT 36 Specimen Landing Net

Land your next big carp or pike with total confidence using the NGT 36 Specimen Landing Net. Designed specifically for specimen anglers who require dependability without the premium price tag, this robust landing net combines structural strength with fish-friendly performance.

At the heart of the setup is a heavy-duty metal spreader (V) block, engineered to absorb the stress of scooping heavy fish in flowing or weed-choked waters. The smart black and green two-tone mesh is soft on fish scales and slime coats while providing optimal water flow during the net sweep. Complete with a dedicated nylon stink bag, it keeps slime and damp odors safely sealed away from the rest of your kit during travel.

Key Features & Highlights

• Generous 36 Specimen Size: Provides ample depth and width to safely scoop and hold double-figure carp, northern pike, and large tench.

• Heavy-Duty Metal Spreader Block: High-strength metal V-block construction resists flex and failure under heavy loads, ensuring long-term bankside durability.

• Fish-Friendly Two-Tone Mesh: Soft, dual-color (black/green) weave cushions the fish, protecting scales, fins, and slime layers while gliding smoothly through the water column.

• Universal Thread Connection: Standard screw thread on the spreader block fits virtually all UK landing net handles, landing poles, and extension arms.

• Included Nylon Stink Bag: Comes supplied with a dedicated nylon sleeve to seal in wet mesh, mud, and fish odours inside your car or carryall.

Pro Tip from Gerrys Fishing

When netting large specimen fish in weed-heavy swims, avoid lifting the net straight up by the handle after scooping. Instead, once the fish is inside the mesh, collapse the net arms out of the metal V-block and roll the mesh down around the arms. Lift the rolled net and fish directly by the block/arms into your unhooking matthis prevents immense strain on your handle and guarantees your net block will last for seasons to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this landing net fit my existing landing net handle?

Yes. The metal V-block is fitted with a standard universal thread that works seamlessly with standard 1-piece, 2-piece, and telescopic landing net poles on the market.

Is the mesh size suitable for pike and treble hooks?

The soft mesh is designed to balance fish protection with water drainage. While designed primarily as a specimen carp and general predator net, we recommend taking care when unhooking pike with unbarbed or semi-barbed treble hooks to avoid tangling inside the weave.

How do I store the net after a wet session?

Rinse any excess mud or lake weed off the mesh in clean water before packing it into the included nylon stink bag. Once home, hang the net up to dry completely in an airy space before long-term storage to prevent mildew buildup

The NGT 36 Specimen Landing Net is built for anglers who need a compact, dependable, and heavy-duty landing solution without paying top-end specimen prices. Designed specifically to target specimen fish like carp, pike, barbel, and large tench, this net delivers the perfect balance of manageable maneuverability and fish safety.

Why Choose the NGT 36 Specimen Net?

Heavy-Duty Metal Spreader Block

Standard plastic or nylon spreader blocks often crack under pressure when scooping heavy fish or pulling through dense weed. The NGT 36 features a solid machined metal V-block with standard brass thread, guaranteeing maximum rigidity and zero flex when lifting.

Fish-Friendly Two-Tone Mesh

The dual-tone black and green mesh isnt just about sharp looksit is crafted from soft, quick-drying material designed to protect slime coats and prevent fin splitting. The top band features a tight weave to prevent rig snagging, while the lower section promotes rapid water flow for swift scooping.

Includes Nylon Stink Bag

No one likes a wet, smelly net soaking into their car boot or carryall on the drive home. Supplied complete with a dedicated waterproof nylon stink bag, you can seal away damp mesh and keep your vehicle clean and odor-free.

Best Places & Situations to Use

• Commercial & Day Ticket Waters: Perfect for landing mid-to-double-figure carp without lugging around a bulky 42 or 50 net.

• Rivers & Barbel Swims: The 36 size cuts through flowing river currents far easier than oversized carp nets while providing plenty of volume for big river barbel and chub.

• Deadbaiting & Lure Fishing for Pike: Compact enough for mobile pike anglers stalking along canal paths, drains, and lakes.

• Tight Swims & Overhanging Cover: Exceptional choice when fishing tight, tree-lined pegs where larger 42 net arms get tangled in surrounding foliage.

Gerrys Pro Tip

When landing big fish in shallow margins or high banks, never lift the fish out of the water using your net handle like a lever. Scooping the fish in, break down the arms from the metal V-block, roll the mesh down close to the fish, and lift vertically using the block and arms directly. This protects your handle thread and keeps the fish completely secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this landing net come with a handle?

No, this product includes the 36 mesh, fiberglass arms, metal spreader block, and stink bag. It features a standard thread that screws into any standard universal landing net handle.

Is a 36 net big enough for carp?

Yes! A 36 specimen net is ideal for carp up to mid-20s with ease. If you are targeting 30lb+ upper-tier carp on massive venues, a 42 or 50 net gives extra margin, but for 90% of UK day-ticket venues and river applications, 36 is the ideal size.

Will the metal spreader block rust?

No. The V-block is manufactured from corrosion-resistant anodized alloy to withstand wet weather and prolonged exposure to water.
