Sugisaka Handcrafted Spring Landing Net 4L – Taimen Edition

Handcrafted Spring Landing Net Designed by Takahisa Sugisaka

Originally designed by renowned angler Takahisa Sugisaka, this handcrafted spring landing net represents a refined balance between tradition and function.

Every detail — from the precision-formed frame to the antler grip — reflects meticulous craftsmanship. The separate-handle design provides optimal reach for double-handed and spey fishing, while remaining compact and easy to carry.

The deep, fish-friendly mesh is gentle during release and sufficiently spacious to land even meter-class Ito (giant taimen). When targeting powerful fish in demanding environments, reliability matters — this net is built for exactly that moment.

A leather belt case allows secure attachment to a wader belt for quick access on the river. With continued use, both the antler handle and leather will develop a rich patina, adding character unique to each owner.

Produced in very limited numbers, this handmade net is increasingly difficult to obtain.

For anglers who value heritage, craftsmanship, and purpose-built design, this piece stands apart.
