Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mixed coarse anglers. The three sizes let you match the head to your usual roach, skimmers, bream and other coarse fish, allowing sensible spare room.
- Commercial anglers choosing for a known venue. You can choose an opening to suit the fish you realistically expect rather than carrying an unnecessarily large head.
Maybe skip if
- Dedicated specimen-carp anglers. A purpose-sized carp net is the more sensible route when large fish are the main target.
- Buyers who need proven low weight or fast drying. We haven’t confirmed a weight or tested its handling and drying speed, so those shouldn’t be reasons to buy on this review alone.
The lowdown
Introducing the Daiwa Tournament Fast Flow Net
Three sizes, super-soft mesh and a sensible coarse-fishing brief. The trick is choosing enough room for your fish without making every scoop a faff.
- Three models: TNFFN50, TNFFN55 and TNFFN60.
- Dimensions run from 50 × 40 × 35cm to 60 × 50 × 40cm.
- 3mm super-soft mesh around the frame and in the base centre panel.
- 5mm super-soft mesh on the sides.
Quick verdict
A sensible shortlist for coarse anglers
The Tournament Fast Flow looks a sensible option if you want a soft-mesh landing net head with a choice of useful dimensions. The mesh layout is clearly defined, and you can choose by actual opening and depth rather than just grabbing the biggest number.
The 55cm is a reasonable starting point for mixed coarse fishing, with the smaller and larger versions covering different priorities. Just don’t mistake the 60cm model for an automatic replacement for a dedicated specimen-carp net.

The super-soft mesh layout is encouraging, but frame durability and long-term finish haven’t been checked.
Three useful sizes and larger side-mesh openings give it a sensible brief, though handling in water remains untested.
A correctly sized head helps with the final landing stage, but it won’t generate bites or fix poor netting technique.
Clear dimensions make selection straightforward, while actual handling will depend on your handle and swim.
It offers a sensible practical package, but this cautious score needs weighing against the current asking price.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Daiwa Tournament Fast Flow Net
A landing net isn’t the bit of kit most of us get excited about over a brew. Fair enough. But when a decent fish rolls beside the platform, you soon care whether the opening is big enough and the net is ready. The Daiwa Tournament Fast Flow is a landing net head range with three sizes and a clearly described soft-mesh layout. That gives you something useful to choose on, rather than just a smart name. We haven’t had it on the bank, so this is a look at what it offers, not a catch report.
First up, the sizes need a proper look. The 50cm version, code TNFFN50, measures 50cm long, 40cm wide and 35cm deep. Step up to the TNFFN55 and you get 55cm by 45cm, with a 40cm-deep bag. The TNFFN60 stretches the opening to 60cm by 50cm, while keeping that same 40cm depth. So the biggest option gives you more room across the mouth, but it doesn’t give you a deeper pocket than the middle model. That’s a handy distinction when you’re working out which one actually suits your fishing.
The mesh arrangement is the other main talking point. Around the frame there’s 3mm super-soft mesh, the sides use 5mm super-soft mesh, and the base centre panel returns to 3mm. In plain bank talk, you’ve got finer mesh in those frame and base-centre areas, with larger openings through the sides. Larger openings generally allow water through more freely, which explains the thinking behind a flow-focused net. What we can’t tell you without using it is how much difference that makes when you’re dipping or repositioning this particular head.
For mixed coarse fishing, the choice is really about giving yourself enough room without lugging more net than you need. If your normal day means roach and modest skimmers, the smallest head is the obvious one to consider first. If proper bream or chunkier mixed fish are regularly in the picture, extra width starts to make more sense. Don’t choose solely around the average fish, though. Think about the better fish your venue can realistically throw up. A net that only just accommodates the usual catch leaves you little margin when a stunner turns up.
Commercial anglers should take the same approach, rather than seeing the 60cm label and assuming it covers every carp in the lake. Fish vary hugely between venues, and a landing net needs to accommodate the whole fish comfortably. The largest Fast Flow gives you the most generous opening here, but that isn’t a promise about a particular fish weight. For dedicated specimen-carp sessions, look towards a suitably sized carp net instead. Saving a bit of space in your luggage isn’t much of a win if you’re under-equipped when the rods are off.
Your handle and swim deserve a thought as well. A bigger head puts more net out in front of you, and the difference can matter when you’re reaching from a high bank or working around bankside plants. We haven’t confirmed this range’s weights, so there’s no honest basis for calling one beautifully balanced or feather-light. Check compatibility with your handle before buying, then consider the whole setup. The right head on an unsuitable handle can still be awkward. Set your net within easy reach before casting, not after you’ve hooked something lively.
Soft mesh is a welcome feature, but careful handling still does the heavy lifting for fish welfare. Wet the net before use, guide the fish over the submerged rim and avoid chasing it about with the head. Once it’s secure, bring it close and support the load appropriately rather than hoisting a fish on a fully extended handle. Watch your hook as well, especially with a lively fish still moving in the bag. No mesh description gives you a free pass to rush that last bit. Calm and organised beats a frantic scoop.
So where does that leave the Tournament Fast Flow? On a sensible shortlist if you want a coarse landing net head and can pick the right dimensions for your venue. The mesh details are useful, and the three sizes offer a straightforward choice. We’re not claiming proven durability, measured drag reduction or miracle hook resistance. Nor have we got a confirmed selling price to shout about. Match the size to your fish, check the handle fit and compare the current deal with similar heads. That’s a better buying plan than paying for the name alone.

Our take
Choose the opening, not just the name
These models change in width as well as length. The 50cm head measures 40cm across; the 60cm measures 50cm across. That matters when you’re guiding a broad fish over the rim.
Depth doesn’t increase at every step: both the 55cm and 60cm models are 40cm deep. Moving up to the largest head buys a bigger opening, not a deeper bag.
The head and mesh
Closer look: what you’re buying
This is a landing net head range, so plan your handle separately and check the listing before ordering. The useful comparison is the complete set of dimensions, not just 50, 55 or 60cm. Width goes up by 5cm at each step; depth rises from 35cm to 40cm, then stays there.
The stated mesh is super-soft, with 5mm sides and finer 3mm areas around the frame and at the base centre. That gives a clear picture of the layout, but it doesn’t establish how resistant the net is to wear or hook snagging. Keep stray hook points clear when packing it away, and clean and dry it properly between trips.
Worth knowing. Fast Flow is the product name, not a measured result from us. We haven’t compared its resistance in water against another net, so treat easier movement as the design idea rather than a proven advantage.
Match it to your venue
Who it suits: enough net, without unnecessary bulk
For anglers switching between float and feeder work on mixed coarse venues, the 55cm is a sensible starting point to consider. It sits between the smallest footprint and the widest opening, while sharing the largest model’s depth. That’s a size-based recommendation, not a claim that it handles better.
The 50cm makes more sense when your expected fish fit comfortably and space is tight. The 60cm deserves a look when extra opening room matters more. Neither choice should come down to whether you’re fishing a pole or rod: fish dimensions, access to the water and your handle setup matter more.
If large carp are the plan, don’t try to stretch this recommendation beyond its brief. Likewise, if you need a particularly light head for repeated long reaches, confirm the weight before spending your quid. We can’t settle that part from the details available here.
Before you buy
FAQs in full: the practical bits
What are the exact sizes? TNFFN50 measures 50cm long, 40cm wide and 35cm deep. TNFFN55 measures 55cm long, 45cm wide and 40cm deep. TNFFN60 measures 60cm long, 50cm wide and 40cm deep. Check those full dimensions against your needs rather than treating the model number as the whole story.
Does it have the same mesh throughout? No, mate. There’s 3mm super-soft mesh around the frame and in the base centre panel, plus 5mm super-soft mesh on the sides. We haven’t confirmed a coating or particular anti-snag treatment, so don’t assume either from the soft-mesh description.
Which size is best? The one that comfortably accommodates your expected fish while remaining manageable in your swim. Start with the 55cm as a comparison point, then work smaller or larger for a reason. If your target fish need more space than this range provides, choose a different net rather than hoping for a tidy scoop.

No. It uses 3mm super-soft mesh around the frame and in the base centre panel, with 5mm super-soft mesh on the sides.
03Which version should I choose?
Which version should I choose?
Choose for the biggest fish you reasonably expect, not just your average catch. The 50cm offers the smallest footprint, the 55cm sits between the two, and the 60cm gives the largest opening. None should be chosen for large carp on its model name alone.
