Short, corded, and coated
Needle-nose pliers and a folding landing net.
Both are sold on the same two ideas, and both are ideas that matter more than a specification.
The pliers are 18 cm in carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant coating and TPR grips stated non-slip in the wet — and they arrive with a retaining lanyard for a belt or a vest. A plier dropped over the side of a boat is a plier gone.
The net is 67 to 90 cm, round, one-button folding, and it comes with a clip and an elastic cord with a carabiner. Same idea, second object: it stays attached to you.
Its mesh is soft PVC-coated nylon rather than bare knotted line, which matters twice over — hooks do not thread into it, and it does less damage to a fish going back.
A net depth, a frame diameter and a load rating. The net publishes its handle length and its mesh type, and nothing about the bag that actually holds the fish.
67 to 90 cm · round frame · soft PVC-coated nylon mesh, stated fish-friendly and non-scratching · one-button folding · corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy, stated rust-free · secure lock and ergonomic non-slip grip · sturdy clip plus an elastic cord with a carabiner, stated loss-proof
The only net here that arrives with a retainer, which is what a boat net needs.
Best for: A kayak or a boat, where a net that goes overboard is a net that is gone
Seven inches, four functions and a cord so it stays with you.
Best for: Perch, trout and lure work, where precision matters more than reach
