What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I fished the Daymaker from a drift boat for a full week on the Missouri and the long handle made a real difference when reaching for fish in fast current. The carbon composite keeps it light enough to manage one-handed, and the two-piece breakdown meant it tucked neatly under the gunwale when we were rowing between runs."The Simms Daymaker Boat Net Long Handle earns its place on the water by solving a problem every serious angler knows: a net that is too heavy to handle, too short to reach, or too bulky to stow is a net that costs you fish. Carbon composite construction keeps the overall weight down without sacrificing the rigidity needed to control a strong fish at the side of the boat, and the material floats high so a dropped net stays recoverable. At 58 inches from butt to hoop, the long handle version gives you the reach to net from a drift boat, raft, or elevated bank without leaning into uncertain footing.The two-piece handle is the detail that makes this net a true travel companion. A simple hex wrench disassembly lets you separate it for stowage in a rod tube, behind a seat, or inside a duffel without the awkward length that usually makes nets the last thing packed and the first thing left behind. When it comes time to net fish, the UV stable coated mesh bag is gentle on fins and slime coats, giving the fish a better chance on release. Swap to the short handle accessory when the wading program calls for a more compact setup, and you have one net that covers the full range of water types in your season.
