Fishpond Nomad Emerger Hand Net 2.0
Go-everywhere and do-everything, the Fishpond Nomad Emerger Hand Net 2.0 is built for anglers who want one net that covers the full range. It carries easily in the net slot of a hip pack, sling, backpack, or vest, and its slim profile rides tight behind your body to avoid hang-ups on bushes and trees when you are on the move. From pocket water brook trout to your personal-best brown, the Emerger feels equally at home wherever you fish. As with all Nomad nets, it is expertly crafted using a combination of carbon fiber and fiberglass, resulting in an extremely lightweight and durable platform. 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’ve used this net on multiple fishing trips in remote areas. It fits perfectly in my hip pack and doesn’t catch on branches. The TPU bag holds up well even after being dropped a few times. Great for both small streams and larger rivers.
Ryan Welch –
The net is light and easy to carry. I noticed it’s more durable than my old fiberglass net. The TPU bag is sturdier and doesn’t tear as easily. Still, it’s a bit narrow for larger fish, but works well for most situations.

Fished in mountain streams and forested areas. The slim design avoids getting caught on trees. The net feels solid and responsive. The TPU bag is a big improvement over plastic ones I’ve used before.
