Fishpond Nomad Native Hand Net 2.0 – River Armor Edition
Built for the minimalist angler, the River Armor Edition Fishpond Nomad Native Hand Net 2.0 is the grab-and-go option that still scoops 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 Fishpond 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 DuPont 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 use this net for quick river trips and it’s surprisingly sturdy. The Kevlar wrap holds up well even after a few drops in the water. It fits securely on my vest and doesn’t slip. The net bag is solid and keeps everything dry.
Lucas Wright –
Great for minimalist fishing. It’s light and easy to carry. The floatation helps when I need to retrieve it from the water. A bit stiff to open at first, but once you get used to it, it works smoothly.
Joanne Turner –
The durability is impressive. After a few hours of use in a fast-moving river, the net still holds its shape. The matte finish blends in with the surroundings, which is a nice touch for stealth fishing.
