The Daiwa Tamo Landing Pole 2 Isodama Net 45-50 is a specialized landing net designed for precision fishing, particularly for tenkara, keiryu, and small-stream angling. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Key Features:
-
Telescopic Pole (2-section)
- Extends smoothly for reach and collapses compactly for portability.
- Lightweight yet strong construction (typically aluminum or carbon).
-
Isodama Net Head (45-50cm)
- The Isodama net is designed with a round, knotless mesh to protect fish (ideal for catch-and-release).
- Size 45-50cm (~18-20") makes it suitable for small to medium fish (trout, char, small carp).
-
Tamo-Style Design
- Inspired by traditional Japanese tamo nets (used in tenkara), offering a shallow, wide basket for easy fish landing.
- Soft mesh minimizes fish stress and scale damage.
-
Lightweight & Balanced
- Designed for one-handed operation, perfect for wading or mountain streams.
-
Durable & Water-Resistant
- Mesh is often treated to resist tangling and drying quickly.
Best Uses:
✔ Tenkara/Kebari fishing
✔ Keiryu & small-stream fly fishing
✔ Ultralight spinning (for small fish)
✔ Catch-and-release fishing
Potential Considerations:
- Not ideal for large fish (e.g., big carp or pike).
- The shallow net design may require more precision when scooping fish.
Alternatives:
- Daiwa Kurenai Series (deeper net for larger fish)
- Shimano Isodama Net (similar knotless mesh design)
