This sturdy hand net is for routine aquatic sampling, field centre use and sampling of rivers and streams. The large 300mm frame size is well suited for amphibian surveying and is also the standard kick net size for aquatic sampling in many European countries. There is the option of a wooden or aluminium handle. The frame includes an inner brass ring and fixings to which the net is attached.
Wooden Handle
The wooden handle (British Ash) means these nets will float if dropped and will remain comfortable to hold in cold water.
Aluminium Handle
The advantage of the aluminium handle, apart from its price, is that the weight is reduced to less than half that of the wooden handle. The dimensions of the aluminium handle are identical to the wooden handle so it can be used as a replacement for wooden handles without any adverse influence on previous research. The disadvantages of the aluminium handle is that it is cold in winter as well as being vulnerable to denting or bending when used beyond normal practice. Aluminium handles also conduct electricity and care should be taken when using near overhead power lines.
Please note this item is the frame only and you will also need a Large Professional Hand Net Bag which is available in a range of mesh sizes.
