Cortland Net Release Magnet
This handy flyfishing accessory is the perfect tool for the mobile angler. Simply clip the elasticated cord to your vest/pack or waders, and then use the magnetic end to hold your landing net until you need it. Made from strong yet lightweight aluminium, this magnetic net holder from Cortland is the perfect example of flyfishing tackle that meets the needs of anglers.
There’s decent strength in this magnet from Cortland. We suggest cable tying one of the magnets to the top of the hoop of your net (rather than the handle) so that when you reach around you can grab the handle as it dangles around your waist. This will save you a lot of mucking around when it comes time to net your trophy!

This magnet works perfectly with my landing net. I clip it to my pack and when I need to retrieve the net, I just grab the handle as it hangs down. Saves me a lot of time and effort on the water.
