FISHPOND NOMAD EL JEFE NET
The salmon and steelhead fisherman's net. The El Jefe features a deeper bag depth with a slightly larger bag width than a standard mid-length net for larger fish.

great net for steelhead, love the handle length.

Great net and size for fishing steelhead. Be careful with the netting because it will rip if snagged. They do sell replacement netting

The extra handle length helps land fish one step closer. Very light for its size. The rubber net makes catching and releasing large fish a breeze.

This is absolutely the best wading net I have owned. The added handle length is great for handling fish one step closer. The clear rubber net is easy on fish and using barbless hooks makes releasing fish easy in seconds without having to pull them out of the water or handle them with hands at all.

Love this net! Lightweight and that extended handle is a huge difference when Euro nymphing with 3# gear. This is a must for any style fisherman.

I’m using this net in both saltwater (kayak) and freshwater (wading) fisheries and am pretty certain it’s the last net I’ll ever need. The long handle is great for reaching trout (or halibut) and it does double duty as a wading staff. It’s so light, it’s easy to carry in my wading belt and on my ‘yak.

I love how light it is and is the perfect size for Ohio Steelhead

Best net ever. It’s light for its size and the big hoop is great for Salmon/Steelhead in my area.

I bought this to use while wading and chasing carp and gar. It's been great so far. The long arm let's you land fish with ease.

I love this net. I bought it as an upgrade since my husband has the emerger and I was looking for something with a longer arm as I’m short. This does the job perfectly. Whether it’s small or big fish your looking to catch this will be the only net you need.
I do a lot of trout fishing and just the first day on the water I caught fish from 8in-22in and the net never seemed to big or small. I thankfully have a vest that has a built in net holder so it was easy to grab and use. You can even use it as a wading staff!
I do think this is the max size for a net to carry around unless you plan on using it on a boat. I’m 5’2 and with it on my back it still came to the back of the knee but was not in the way. If your using a hip net holder then it’ll probably hit the ground depending on how tall you are.
10/10 would recommend.
