Whatever your angling discipline, a good quality net is essential to bring your catch safely to the bank. When carp fishing, you need a landing net large enough to accommodate fish up to considerable sizes, mounted on a spreader block strong enough to withstand heavy loads, especially when bringing a big fish through dense grass. or against a strong current. You're also looking for a net that will be gentle on the fish, as you don't want to unnecessarily damage fins and scales, nor do you want your landing net to remove too much protective coating - the slimy layer that coats their bodies, helps prevent infection and keep parasites away. If you're match-fishing on a site heavily frequented by carp, all the considerations you'd apply to a landing net become even more important when it comes to guarding your net. Carp are big fish and need a reasonable amount of space to keep them safe. They also need the mesh of any net to protect them from predators, including otters and cormorants.
