This professional dipping net is the ideal net for invertebrate and other aquatic survey work. Built to a robust standard it is relatively light but sturdy and is intended for long term use.
This net has a 120 cm hardwood handle and a net mesh size of 1mm for invertebrate sampling work. Aluminum frame available in two sizes: Small, 200 mm diameter; click here for large, 250 mm diameter. Replacement bags available.
See recommended products for other options such as softwood handle and 2-3 mm net mesh size for amphibians.
The 200mm wide aluminium frame that sits around the outside of the net saves the top band of tough nylon from wearing out so quickly, as it takes the brunt of the scrapes and knocks against the rocks and debris inevitably found in ponds, lakes and rivers.
This net features
- 1200mm wooden handle
- Aluminium frame 200mm x 300mm making combined length approx 1500mm
- A net bag x 200mm wide x 300mm deep
- 1mm Mesh
