Beautifully Functional
A wooden net is for those of you who value tradition, beauty, and craftsmanship without compromising on function. You look for style with tasteful restraint. In a world of overseas mass production, you value knowing your net was made one at a time, by hand in Milaca USA by Eric.
About our finish: Two base coats of penetrating, wood hardening oil designed for marine use are followed with multiple coats of wood conditioning oil including UV protectant. For maintenance simply apply any quality wood oil as needed (SunShield, Danish, linseed, tung, etc.) - no need to remove the net.
As we convert a diversity of wood types into nets, we take what each piece of wood provides in pattern and color, making every net unique. Interior hoop dimensions will be consistent across each model, while variations in color and final handle and hoop shaping will occur.
Our nets are designed for efficient ease of use:
Widest part of the hoop moved forward, making it easier to scoop your catch when it counts
Rubber/rubber coated nets to protect fish for release
Straight handle allows for smooth retrieval from your belt, pack or net harness at the critical time
Pins in handle provide quick length estimate in 2” increments
Oil finish allows for easy maintenance.

Testimonials
…The [superior net] length is perfect for stretching for reaching an active fish. The hoop is also very ample.
In heavy current the net is very well balanced and the handle is comfortable to wield. The length allowed ample leverage to the handle under the forearm to lift a fish in current. As far as the basket depth…it’s perfect as the pictures will prove.
All in all, it is a truly beautiful and perfect functioning net for larger game fish. I also got numerous comments from fellow anglers about the craftsmanship and beauty of the net.
In closing, it’s the ultimate net if you are netting your own larger steelhead. Needless to say, it’s a prized piece of gear I’m so proud to own.
Thank you again!
