Zeck Zander Scheppkelle

Sebastian Hänel's Full-Rubber Landing Net

The Zeck Zander Scheppkelle is Sebastian Hänel's favourite landing net, with an extended length of 180 cm and a folded transport length of 122 cm. What sets it apart, though, is the net itself. The mesh is made from solid rubber, and that brings several real advantages. The thick rubber material is exceptionally gentle on the fish's protective mucous layer, and thanks to its thickness it also works as an unhooking mat when the fish is lying in the net. Hooks - even the treble hooks of plugs - barely catch in the mesh at all, which is kinder on the fish and a good deal easier on your nerves. There is a comfort benefit too: full-rubber nets do not absorb odours and stay noticeably clean - a real plus in the car or when travelling.

One-Handed Operation and Large Enough for Big Zander

The net head of the Zeck Zander Scheppkelle measures 60 x 50 x 33 cm, which may look compact at first glance, but even zander into the 90 cm class fit in without any trouble. This landing net is ideal for zander and perch anglers who want to handle their fish as carefully as possible. On the bank you can carry it over the removable shoulder strap, or take that strap off and clip the net to your rucksack via a magnetic release instead. The handle has a rotating eye at the butt end for exactly that purpose, so you can attach a magnetic release and keep the net folded while you fish. When a fish is on, a single hand is all you need - a quick-release mechanism lets you unfold it one-handed and get it ready in seconds.
