Description
Replace your worn net bag with a high-quality, fish-friendly rubber alternative built to last.
Key Features
- Soft rubber mesh that minimizes damage to fish and protects their slime layer
- Hook-resistant. Flies and lures won't get stuck in the netting
- Rubber mesh resists freezing (unlike nylon) for cold-weather use
- Includes 50 lb Dacron cord and threading needle for installation
- Designed to fit various Nomad frames and sizes (see sizing below)
Installation & Use
This replacement net comes as a full kit (net bag + 50 lb Dacron + needle) so you can re-string onto your existing net frame. Fishpond provides a video showing how to swap net bags.
Be sure to follow the stringing instructions carefully to maintain the proper shape and tension of the bag. Some models (e.g. "extra deep" versions) may require skipping certain holes or using O-rings on select frames.
Why Choose Rubber?
Rubber nets are considered more fish-friendly because they reduce scale damage and tangling. The smooth, non-abrasive surface helps prevent flies and hooks from snaring, making catch-and-release easier.
Notes & Tips
- Over time, net bags may wear. Replacement is more economical than replacing the whole frame.
- When selecting size, ensure the diameter and circumference match (or are slightly smaller than) your frame.
- String with even tension to keep the bag smooth and avoid sagging or distortion.
- Test in water to ensure the bag shape is correct and doesn't collapse in use.

Easy to use!
"My replacement net was easy to attach to my net frame, just watching how the original was strung as I removed it. Net is now as new. Old net lasted about five years, then started tearing near bottom."
Great Net Bags
"Have a Fishpond El Jefe net where the net bag it was shipped with was not deep enough to handle steelhead and catfish I used it for so purchased the Xdeep bag and replaced the one the net and with after a couple years of use and experience with it."
Nomad Replacement Bag
"Really happy with this replacement bag. Is a bit bigger than my frame but took a couple of puckers in it and it works great. Ordering 2 more for my wife and buddy. Recommend this product."
