Review: Orvis Wide Mouth Guide Net

Reviewing the color options for the Orvis Wide-Mouth Guide Net, I thought to myself, Who wouldn’t want that sick blue with the rainbow-trout pattern? To each their own with color, I guess, but this net is going to be the right call for many sporty anglers out there. Since I split my time between boats and wading around, I wanted something that could do both—that sweet spot between light and nimble, but still with enough reach and hoop size to land fish from the captain’s seat. This net is designed for it all and even has a deeper, knotless, hook-resistant net bag that other brands don’t. Now I just have to start landing some bigger fish, since they don’t look quite as impressive in the bigger basket. Available at orvis.com; $230.
