You’ll appreciate this smaller net the next time you hike a couple of miles through the brush to get to the action. The Nine Mile is small, but it’s not a toy: It will handle good-size fish when you get into them. With its smaller profile, this is an ideal net for the tenkara enthusiast or a kid learning to catch and release. Like the Wolf River, the Nine Mile is available with an ash bow and black walnut handle (NMA), or with a black walnut bow and a figured maple handle inlaid with contrasting woods (NMW).
