The #11 is a perfect all-rounder trout net for small- to medium-sized streams where fish average 10-15 inches with the occasional bigger fish a distinct possibility. This short-handled net is a top choice for wading anglers looking for versatility. The hoop is large enough to safely land larger fish but will not be cumbersome while trekking or wading. With a slightly rounder yet shorter hoop, this is a classic choice for safely landing and handling smallish to average-sized trout, too. The #11 is a wading angler’s sidekick that gets the job done. If you are going to own one net for wade fishing then make it a Jennings #11 or #7. These are the classics.
Nets have been field tested from Montana to Maine along with the punishing Lake Erie winter conditions of ‘Steelhead Alley.’ During this design and development process extensive modification to size/shape and finish occurred resulting in a beautifully proportioned net with a superb finish. As like anything else, some wear can be expected over the course of time. Battle scars will occur even with the most durable finish.
Figured wood landing nets are fabricated with a seven (7) laminate hoop selected from the finest quality material. Woods are meticulously inspected for the finest figure. Laminates and handle are pre-formed in the gluing forms for inspection of a perfect fit and then assembled. Once removed from the forms hand shaping and sanding begins along with lashing groove / holes installed. Net frames are hand sanded and meticulously inspected prior to the finishing process.
The finishing process is the magic that brings the figured wood to life. Net frames are dye colored followed by two (2) coats of oil and ten (10) coats high impact clear coat. Finishes cure for 5-7 days before being wet sanded to 8000 grit for a hand polished look and feel. This gives nets old world feel with the durability of modern materials.
Nets are constructed of wood and can be damaged. Nets damaged due to poor user care will not be warrantied. Provided item is returned for review by Jennings Net CO net may need replaced.
When not in use hang nets vertically in a dry area. When in use do not let nets lay in pools of water or fully submerged for periods of time.
Net basket will wear and over time at which point replacement is necessary. Landing nets are numbered and marked with the appropriate diameter replacement net basket on the inside of the hoop for your replacement |
