This is a handmade landing net made by my parent. It was used for ayu fishing in the days before the concept of "snatching" the fish. It's made from natural forked wood and angled for easy scooping. The net itself is hand-knitted and finished with persimmon tannin. The size might be suitable for freshwater bait fishing or trout. A loop is attached to the base for attaching a cord. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections, as this is not an industrial product. It's an old item and not new.
