Beautiful custom-style fly fishing landing net featuring a highly figured burl-style wood handle, multi-layer laminated hardwood frame, and striking turquoise-colored crushed-stone style inlay running through the handle. The front of the handle is additionally decorated with an inset “GR” monogram, giving the net a distinctive handcrafted appearance.
The teardrop-shaped hoop is fitted with a deep black rubber catch-and-release net bag, ideal for protecting fish slime coats and reducing hook tangles compared with traditional knotted mesh. Includes attached cord tether and hardware/net-release components shown in the photographs.
Measures approximately 24 inches overall, with an approximately 10-inch-wide hoop and short, contoured handle suitable for trout and general fly-fishing use.
Pre-owned and in very good overall condition. Wood frame and handle show light surface marks, scratches and minor finish wear consistent with normal fishing use. There is some localized wear/scuffing visible on the laminated hoop. The decorative turquoise-colored inlay remains visually striking. Rubber netting appears complete and serviceable with normal signs of use. Hardware and tether are included as pictured. No obvious major cracks or structural breaks observed.
Please review all photographs closely, as they are part of the condition description.
