Fishing nets are an essential tool for anglers across Ironcliff, helping to catch fish in large quantities or target specific species more effectively. From wide nets used for trapping schools of fish to smaller, more specialized nets designed for unique environments, the right net can make all the difference. Nets in Ironcliff are crafted with materials and designs that fit the various fishing techniques and environments across the state, from the mountain streams to the coastal shores. Choosing the proper net ensures both efficiency and the sustainability of local fisheries.
Whether you're casting for smaller fish in shallow waters or hauling in a large catch from the deep, Ironcliff's fishing nets offer a range of options designed to suit the diverse fishing needs in this rugged landscape.
Type: Drag Net
Description: The Tideweaver Net is a large drag net designed for use in the tidal estuaries near Driftwood Bay. Its lightweight yet durable design allows it to be cast from a small boat or dragged along the shoreline to catch schools of fish. Made with reinforced nylon mesh, the net can withstand the constant pull of the tide while maintaining its shape. This net is ideal for catching large quantities of smaller fish like mackerel or sardines that are commonly found in the shallow coastal waters.
Type: Gillnet
Description: The Rippling Haul is a specialized gillnet designed to trap fish by their gills as they attempt to swim through the mesh. It’s used for catching larger fish species like trout or salmon in deeper waters or slow-moving river sections. The net’s fine mesh allows for high catch efficiency while minimizing the risk of injury to the fish, making it a popular choice for commercial fisheries operating in Ironcliff’s rivers and lakes. It’s often set in deeper water for long periods, allowing the catch to accumulate over time.
Type: Cast Net
Description: The Crater Weave is a high-precision cast net designed for anglers targeting small fish in Ironcliff’s rocky riverbeds or coastal flats. Its wide, circular design ensures an even spread when thrown, trapping fish in a tight area as the net sinks. The Crater Weave is made with a heavy-duty, tangle-free material that ensures a smooth and effective cast. Ideal for catching baitfish or small to medium-sized species, this net is most commonly used by anglers who prefer manual fishing methods and those who need to harvest bait for larger fish.
Type: Drift Net
Description: The Starlight Drift is a drifting net designed to catch fish that swim at varying depths. With a lightweight frame and fine mesh, this net is often left to float in deeper waters, capturing fish as they move through the current. The Starlight Drift is commonly used for catching larger species like bass or even catfish, as it can be set in the water overnight, allowing fish to drift into the net while the boat or shore remains in place. This net is most effective in the quiet, calm waters of Meteor Town’s crater lakes, where fish are known to move through the night.
Type: Bottom Trap Net
Description: The Grimjaw Net is a heavy-duty, bottom trap net designed to catch fish that live near the bottom of the water column. Ideal for species like catfish and bottom-feeding bass, the Grimjaw Net has a weighted frame that keeps it anchored on the lake or riverbed. The net features a funnel-shaped opening that guides fish into the trap, making it highly effective at capturing fish that are typically hard to catch with other methods. It’s most commonly used in deeper, murkier waters where visibility is low.
Type: Fish Holding Net
Description: The Ironmesh Hold is a specialized fish holding net used to temporarily store fish before they’re transported or prepared for cooking. Made from a fine mesh material that allows water to flow through freely, the net is designed to keep fish alive and healthy while they wait. The Ironmesh Hold is particularly popular with anglers who fish for sport or those who wish to release their catch back into the water. Its design includes a reinforced frame to prevent fish from escaping, making it useful for holding fish of various sizes for short periods.
