The Fat Jake custom fly fishing landing net is our most popular design. The goal was to make a trout net that acted like a Swiss army knife, solving all sorts of problems that the modern angler faces while out on the river. Whether you catch a small brook trout or a large rainbow trout the Fat Jake is built to be the perfect size. We handcrafted this model with a teardrop shape so that the end of the hoop is large enough to pull in any catch you have, while the holes of the fish safe rubber net bags are kept small to avoid losing a small catch.
Constructing the Fat Jake with multiple types of wood is essential for a lighter weight that won’t drag you down while infusing enough strength to wrangle the fattest and strongest fish. We offer multiple species resulting in a ton of options for your custom wooden fly fishing nets. Use the builder above to make your own creation! Rubber Catch and release nets are used because they are gentle on the fish’s skin.
Customization: Wayward offers over 200 different custom fly fishing net options and our builder will let you see what the different wood species will look like together. Once you have the species selected, we will handcraft a wood landing net just for you! If at any time you are unhappy with using the site, you can call us and we’ll take the order over the phone.
Fat Jake Measurements: The hoop measures 12 inches wide by 16 inches long. The handle is 18 inches long and shaped to maximize your grip. The entire net measures 35 inches head to toe. A shorter handle can be accommodated at no extra cost, just add a note at check out.
The Wayward Landing Net is handcrafted in the USA! We believe that the best fly fishing nets are made with traditional craftsmanship and local materials (we can acquire exotic species if that is your preference) and Wayward is proud to produce handcrafted wood landing nets right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
We went through 4 or 5 different shapes before we settled on what we find to be a great balance of grip and comfort. Our nets are handcrafted with a teardrop shape so that the end of the hoop is large enough to pull in any catch, while the holes of the fish safe rubber net bags are small to avoid losing a smaller catch.
We spend a lot of time picking beautifully grained wood from central Pennsylvania. It is important to stay close by so that we can have a hand in not only picking the most beautiful wood, but also in processing it down correctly. Also, staying local is akin to staying eco friendly.
Turn Around Time: This item will ship out within 4-6 weeks from when it was ordered. Call Tina, (610) 639-2991, if you have any questions. Rush orders are accepted when able.
