Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Float and feeder anglers fishing for mixed coarse species. The three sizes let you choose around your usual fish, with hook-resistant mesh offering a practical benefit during unhooking.
- Anglers fed up with hooks catching in net mesh. The latex-coated mesh directly targets that bit of bankside faff, although it doesn't eliminate every snag.
Maybe skip if
- Dedicated big-carp anglers. A suitably sized specimen net is the better starting point when big, long-bodied carp are the main target.
- Anyone expecting completely snag-proof mesh. Hook resistance isn't a guarantee that your hook will never catch, especially if a loose rig is pulled tight against the mesh.

Quick verdict
A sensible shortlist choice for everyday coarse fishing
The Daiwa has a clear appeal: latex-coated, hook-resistant mesh in three useful sizes. If hooks getting caught in your net are doing your head in, that's a proper reason to give it a look.
Choose around the fish you expect, not just how neatly it fits in your luggage. We can't confirm its handling or long-term toughness without bank time, and even the biggest version isn't an automatic substitute for a dedicated specimen carp net.

The coated mesh is a practical feature, but frame strength and long-term coating durability remain untested.
Hook resistance and the intended easy movement through water address useful jobs, though actual handling hasn't been verified.
A correctly sized net helps finish the landing job, but this won't create bites or fix poor fish-playing technique.
Three clearly identified sizes and hook-resistant mesh give it straightforward practical appeal.
The feature set is useful, but this is a cautious placeholder rather than a firm value judgement without a confirmed price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Daiwa Latex Landing Net
A landing net isn't the bit of tackle that gets most of us excited. You're more likely to spend your brew money on floats, feeders or another bag of bait. Fair enough. But when a fish is ready and your hook catches in the mesh, that boring bit of kit suddenly gets your full attention. The Daiwa Latex Landing Net tackles that particular annoyance with hook-resistant mesh and a Super Light Latex coating. Nothing wildly complicated here, mate. Just a practical idea aimed at making the final part of landing a fish less fiddly.
We've not used this one on the bank, so this isn't a tale about bagging up with it or slipping a surprise lump over the rim. What we can do is look at what you're buying and where it makes sense. The confirmed basics are a 6mm mesh gauge, that latex coating and a design intended to glide through water. Those are useful things to consider for coarse fishing, where placing the net neatly beneath a tired fish matters more than having something flashy hanging off your landing-net handle.
There are three versions to get your head around. The 45cm model measures 45 × 35 × 30cm, the 50cm measures 50 × 40 × 35cm, and the 55cm measures 55 × 45 × 38cm. Their model codes are DLLN45, DLLN50 and DLLN55. That's handy if you're comparing listings and want to make sure you're looking at the same one. Don't choose purely by the headline size, either. The full dimensions give you a better idea of the room available than a single number on its own.
For a mixed coarse session, the appeal is pretty easy to see. You might be catching silvers on a float, then switch to a feeder when the better fish start showing. A loose hook can find its way into net mesh during either job, particularly once there's slack line about. Hook resistance is therefore a useful feature rather than just something to put on the label. The important distinction is that resistant doesn't mean proof. If a hook does catch, stop and free it carefully rather than pulling everything tight and making a small nuisance worse.
The claim about gliding through water also fits a real bankside need. When a fish is nearly ready, you want to settle the net into position and guide the fish over it, not chase it round the swim with the rim. Daiwa's design is intended to help with that movement. We can't say how light or effortless it actually feels underwater without trying it, though. Your handle, reach and position on the bank all influence the job as well, so the net alone doesn't tell the whole handling story.
Size choice is where it's worth being honest with yourself. If your fishing mostly revolves around modest coarse fish, the smallest version is the compact starting point. If better bream or commercial carp are realistic visitors, consider the room offered by the larger versions against the actual fish in your venue. There's no sensible universal fish-weight limit to invent here. A fish's length and shape matter, too. Buying a net that's only just big enough for your usual catch can feel a bit daft when something considerably better turns up.
Equally, don't read the 55cm option as a green light for every carp-fishing situation. Dedicated specimen fishing calls for a net suited to those bigger, longer fish, with enough room to contain them properly. This range makes more sense as a coarse-fishing shortlist than a one-net answer to everything with fins. Whatever size you choose, get your unhooking area ready before the first cast and keep the mesh clear of bankside snags. Once the fish is landed, support the load rather than trying to hoist it on a fully extended handle.
So the Daiwa's pitch is refreshingly straightforward: a choice of sizes, coated mesh that resists hooks, and a design intended to move cleanly through water. It won't improve your feeding, find your spot or persuade a wary fish to take the bait. It could, however, remove some needless messing about once you've done the hard work. Without a confirmed price or hands-on use, we'd stop short of calling it a cracking bargain. As a practical option for float and feeder anglers to compare, though, there's plenty here that makes sense.

Our take
Less messing about after the fish is landed
The useful bit isn't a promise of more bites. It's mesh that resists hooks, potentially making the landing-and-unhooking part of your session less of a faff.
That's particularly relevant when you're switching between feeder and float work, where a loose hook can meet the mesh as soon as the fish is safely inside.
The useful details
Closer look: coated mesh, three sizes
The central feature is the 6mm mesh with its Super Light Latex coating. Daiwa describes the mesh as resisting hooks and the net as designed to glide through water. That's a sensible pairing: easier positioning before landing, with potentially less tangling afterwards. Neither claim tells us how the coating will stand up to repeated seasons of use.
The sizes step up from 45 × 35 × 30cm to 50 × 40 × 35cm, then 55 × 45 × 38cm. Compare all three measurements with the net you already use if possible. That gives you a much more useful reference than trying to picture the difference from a shop photo.
Worth knowing. Super Light Latex is the coating name, not a confirmed overall weight. Also check exactly what's included and whether the fitting matches your existing handle before ordering; we haven't confirmed those details here.
Match it to your fishing
Who it suits: everyday float and feeder work
This is an easy range to consider if you fish for mixed coarse species and want to reduce hook snags during unhooking. Match the size to the venue's realistic better fish, rather than just the little ones you're expecting to catch most often. A touch of spare room is useful when a bonus fish turns up.
For commercial carp, make the decision around the stock in front of you. Smaller fish and genuine lumps aren't the same landing job. If large carp are your main quarry, start with a dedicated specimen net rather than assuming the biggest option in this range must be enough.
There's less reason to change if your current net is the right size, handles well and rarely catches hooks. This isn't a bite-generating upgrade. It's about making an essential job potentially smoother, so the asking price needs to stack up against what you've already got.

FAQs in full: sizing and snag resistance
What sizes are available? The 45cm DLLN45 measures 45 × 35 × 30cm, the 50cm DLLN50 measures 50 × 40 × 35cm, and the 55cm DLLN55 measures 55 × 45 × 38cm. Use the codes to distinguish the versions when comparing shops.
Will hooks still catch? They can. Hook-resistant mesh isn't hook-proof mesh. Keep an eye on the loose hook while unhooking, and don't pull the line hard if it catches. Taking a moment to work it free is better than damaging either the mesh or your rig.
Which one should you buy? Start with the fish, then consider carrying space. The 45cm is the most compact; the other two offer progressively more room. None comes with a confirmed fish-weight limit here, so don't turn those dimensions into a made-up safe lifting capacity.

02Is the mesh completely hook-proof?
Is the mesh completely hook-proof?
No. It's described as hook-resistant and has a Super Light Latex coating. That offers a reason to expect less hook-catching faff, not permission to yank a snagged hook through it.
03Which size should I choose?
Which size should I choose?
Choose for the largest fish you're reasonably likely to land. The 45cm is the most compact option; the 50cm and 55cm offer more room. For dedicated specimen carp fishing, look at a suitably sized carp net instead.
