Why it made the list
A jungle-proven multifilament net made in Peru, where people actually depend on gill nets for food. 12 ft long by 5 ft deep with a tight 1-inch mesh, attached floats and weights, and a green color that disappears against vegetation.
Pros
- Attached floats and weights save rigging time
- 1" mesh catches smaller panfish
- Green multifilament blends into vegetation
Cons
- Often on backorder due to hand supply
- Smaller mesh can trap undersized fish
Best uses
- Tropical and subtropical waters
- Small-stream survival fishing
- Bug-out bags in humid climates
