The TAMO Tenkara Nets

There are various types of tenkara fishing nets and which one you choose to use will depend on your fishing conditions and preferences. The Tenkara USA TAMO net is a fantastic option for any type of tenkara fishing. It is a lightweight, collapsable net with an adjustable handle which makes it very user-friendly. The net also has a round hoop and rubberized mesh net bag for safe fish handling.

While a tenkara net is not absolutely necessary, a net does offer several benefits:
 • Better fish handling: the net provides a gentle and secure environment for temporarily holding the trout or other fish while you remove the fly and release it back into the stream.
 • Landing assistance: tenkara nets are typically lightweight and have a long handle, making it easier to extend your reach and land fish in areas where reaching the water's edge may be challenging.
 • Fly protection: tenkara nets are typically designed with a shallow, flat-bottomed shape, which helps protect delicate fly patterns from damage during landing.

A tamo net is a traditional tenkara net originally developed by tenkara anglers in Japan. Tamo nets are typically made from a single Y-shaped branch that is manipulated into the shape of a fishing net.
