Fishpond Nomad El Jefe Net - River Armor

Fishpond Nomad® El Jefe Net

When you're chasing trophy trout, steelhead, or other hard-fighting fish, the Fishpond Nomad® El Jefe Net delivers the reach, strength, and fish-friendly performance you need. Built with a premium carbon fiber and fiberglass composite, this lightweight landing net is exceptionally durable, waterproof, UV-resistant, and buoyant—so it floats if it slips overboard.

The El Jefe's extended 41.5-inch length and generous 13" x 21.75" basket make it ideal for larger rivers, drift boats, and anglers who need extra reach without sacrificing maneuverability. A clear rubber net bag safely cradles fish while minimizing damage to their protective slime coat, making it an excellent choice for responsible catch-and-release fishing. An integrated measuring scale on the handle allows you to quickly size your catch before sending it back to the water.

Designed for demanding days on the river, the Nomad El Jefe combines premium materials, thoughtful features, and Fishpond's legendary craftsmanship into a landing net built to last.
