Shimano Folding Net

The Shimano Folding Net encompasses the ideaology behind tenkara- simplicity! One might say it's complicated mechanics actually prove me wrong but the design and production behind tenkara rods are just as complexly engineered.

This net is the only net I will carry as long as it is around. It's packable, sturdy, and has great mesh material. The pouch even has a belt loop that I put through my wading belt to wear on my side. That makes it really easy to whip out when I have a fish on my line. Shimano's design is once again, superb!

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
