FAQ
Here are a few common questions I get asked about Raging River Nets:
Are wood framed landing nets durable enough to last?
Yes. And no. It all depends on how you treat your equipment. The same question could be asked of bamboo fly-rods, yet we have seen they stand the test of time because of how well they are taken care of. Obviously, if you drop a piece of wood on a hard surface, it will most likely dent. If dropped, these nets may dent, but they are made to be stronger than plain wood. Multiple laminations in the hoop and handle make the frame stiffer and stronger. The very first net I built, I am still using (to this date, over 4 years), and it shows no sign of slowing down! I have a few tips and tricks to keep your wood fishing net in top condition with the ability to last many, many years here.
How do I order a net?
To order, simply contact me via email (contact me here) and we will get the ball rolling! Through email, we will figure out what size/shape net hoop you are looking for, handle length, handle material, hoop material, general color scheme (light/medium/dark), and any other features you would like on the net. I am open to what you want, and would love to work with you and your ideas. Feel free to contact me even if you have questions - it doesn't hurt!
How long does it take to build a net?
It all depends on how much work I have at the time, and size/complexity of the net you would like me to create. Lead time has varied from 2 weeks, to 2 months. Once I start on your custom landing net, it will take approximately 1 month for it to be ready to ship.
I have a special piece of wood in mind to use, can you utilize that in the handle?
Definitely! I have made nets in the past that a customer wanted a certain piece used for the handle as it had significant value to them personally. This makes it all the more special since it provides a richer history for the net. I cannot discount the cost of the net much however, since most of the cost to craft a landing net is in the labor. If you have a specific piece of wood in mind for a net handle, let me know, and I can provide you with minimum size requirements dependent on the type of landing net you want to order.
This is just like a tennis racket!
Almost. But no. :)
Can I order the coiled paracord lanyard in colors other than gray?
Absolutely! I can also match the color of the coiled lanyard to the string that attaches your net bag, as well as to the paracord handle lanyard.
