SMITH Magnetic Landing Net Clip

Product highlights

For anglers actively scouting waters, having a landing net always within reach is essential. The SMITH landing net magnet is a fishing accessory specifically designed to keep your net secure on your back while allowing an instant release when you need to land a fish. Thanks to its magnetic fastening system, it reduces the risk of losing gear, prevents the net from dragging on the ground or in the water, and leaves your hands free while walking or animating your lures. Compact, reliable and easy to install, this magnet integrates naturally into the modern angler's kit, whether you fish rivers, lakes or the coast.

Benefits and strengths

By adding a landing net magnet to your kit you enhance comfort and efficiency at the water. No more nets snagging everywhere, falling into the water, or being inaccessible at the critical moment. The SMITH magnet keeps the net positioned high on your back, freeing your field of view and easing movement along banks or on a boat. When a fish takes your lure, simply pull the net to overcome the magnetic attraction and put it into action without losing precious seconds. This simplicity translates to better control during the fight, fewer lost fish when approaching the net, and improved protection for your equipment. Durable over time, this accessory also limits premature wear of the net's ring or handle by avoiding repeated impacts.

Another major advantage is the wide versatility of this magnetic fishing accessory. It fits naturally on a fly-fishing vest, a street-fisherman backpack, a wading vest or a float tube vest. Whatever your approach, it helps organise your gear logically, keeping your net where you really need it. It's a small investment that noticeably improves overall comfort during a session, whether you fish for a few hours after work or on a longer trip.

Usage tips

• Attach one part of the magnet to the frame or handle of your landing net, choosing a solid point.
• Attach the other part to your vest, pack, belt or any easily accessible area on your back.
• Before first use, test the magnetic strength to find the position that offers the best compromise between security and quick release.
• After each outing, rinse the magnet with fresh water if you have fished in saltwater and let it air dry.
• Regularly check attachment points, snaps and rings to ensure optimal retention of the net.
• Avoid storing the magnet immediately next to sensitive electronic devices or magnetic media.

FAQ

Question 1: Is this magnet suitable for all types of fishing landing nets?

Answer: The magnet is designed to fit most landing nets that have an attachment point, whether short-handle models for shore fishing or longer versions used from a boat. Simply check that your net has a ring or a sturdy spot to attach the accessory.

Question 2: Will the magnetic system detach during walking?

Answer: The system provides an attraction force calibrated to hold the net in place during normal angler movements. In the event of very sudden movements or snagging in vegetation, it may detach — which reduces the risk of handle breakage or a sudden fall of the net.

Question 3: How do I maintain this accessory for long life?

Answer: To extend the magnet's lifespan, rinse it with fresh water after outings, especially after saltwater use, and dry it thoroughly. Regular inspection of carabiners, cords and attachment points will also help maintain a high level of safety over time.
