Fishpond Nomad Native Net – River Armor 2.0
Built for the minimalist angler, the Nomad Native Net is the grab-and-go option that still fishes like a full-size platform. Lightweight and easy to carry, it attaches to the back of a vest or belt loop with the included lanyard, or pairs perfectly with a Confluence Net Release. The carbon fiber and fiberglass composite frame is waterproof and weatherproof, floats like a cork, and features a matte finish that keeps a low profile. In the River Armor 2.0 edition, the frame is wrapped in a layer of woven DuPontTM Kevlar® fiber for enhanced durability. It comes standard with a TPU net bag that’s lightweight, harder to break, and stretches farther before failing than comparable nets tested the same way.

I carry this net on my belt every time I go fishing. It’s light, easy to set up, and the Kevlar wrap makes it feel much more rugged than the standard version. The net bag holds up well even after a few drops in the water.

Great for quick trips to the river. The floating design helps keep it afloat if it gets dropped. I like how it doesn’t stick out much when worn on my vest.
Brandon Pullman –
The Kevlar layer really adds strength. I’ve used it in rain and rough conditions, and it hasn’t shown any wear. The TPU bag is much more durable than I expected.
