About us

Greetings to all fishing enthusiasts! We are a family business that specializes in the production of fishing nets, for all kinds of fishing. We have been in the market for more than 30 years. Our products have been, are and always will be relied upon.

World-class quality

We already have more than 100,000 satisfied customers and are pleased to offer our products throughout Europe. The quality of our products has reached the top of the world in recent years.

We produce our products in Stoda near Pilsen in the Czech Republic.

Many fishermen don’t bother with a good fishing net. This is a pity because there are situations in which it is important to have a firm support in the water. It is important to get the fish out of the water gently, so we offer our products with rubberized or silicone nets. The advantage of these fishing nets is their easy maintenance.

Our products have undergone a drastic change recently! The time has come to introduce you.

Compatibility across the range

We are a modern company that offers customers everything we can to the best of our ability. Now we’re bringing a unique feature to the market. Newly in our e-shops – a configurator with which you can custom-build a fishing net.

All of our products have universal screw threads so that they are all compatible.

We don’t have a brick-and-mortar store; we focus on selling our products online. You can visit our Instagram or Facebook to get an even better idea of our brand. Fencl is an original. We produce everything honestly in Europe. We stand by the quality of our products, so we provide free service on every landing net.

We maintain the quality of our products and at the same time we strive to constantly improve them throughout the year.

In the footsteps of heritage

Although many people will say at first glance that our logo looks like a fish, the meaning of this symbol is much deeper. Our logo contains the Othala rune.

Othala is pronounced "O" in Czech and its name is translated as "heritage".

Heritage plays an important role in our company. We build on the legacy of Vladimir Fencl, who founded this company. Our heritage is the knowledge and skills that have been passed on to us, thanks to which all our products are the fruits of honest Czech craftsmanship and handiwork.

So even though our logo looks like a fish, the primary meaning is the Germanic rune Othala, symbolizing heritage.

How to choose a children’s landing net

How to choose a quality and fully functional landing net for your little fisherman or fisherwoman

Important parameters of the landing net

Weight of landing net

The weight of the landing net is critical when using it in water. We recommend a maximum weight of 400 grams, making the landing net light and easy to handle in water.

Simple to unfold

Another point is the simple and very easy unfolding of the landing net, ideally flicking opening with one hand. It's important that the little fisherman enjoys it.

Consideration for our fish friends

We recommend the rubberized net, which is very friendly to fish. It’s also nice for small fishermen and anglers, as the net does not snag hooks and will last a long time. Parents will certainly appreciate it. Further, the net won’t stink. When making your choice, be sure to pay attention to the possibility of replacing the net. Each net will eventually wear out and it is environmentally responsible and economic to replace the net in a few minutes (see the video instructions), rather than being forced to buy a whole new net.

Telescopic extension feature

It is very practical when fishing, for example, from a high bank to adjust the telescopic extension of the landing net to the necessary length. Another benefit for children is the rubber eyelet at the end of the non-slip rubber handle, which the child can put on his hand to prevent the landing net from  floating away

.

Fencl Karásek® children's landing net with rubberized net

We put great emphasis on all these parameters and have therefore developed the unique Fencl branded Karásek® landing net in 4 colors, so that every little fisherman and fisherwoman can choose their favorite colors.
How to choose a carp landing net

Fencl Carp Premium® carp landing net 105 cm / 2-piece

A revolutionary landing net that has become highly sought after and popular among a wide group of anglers who prefer quality fishing equipment that can provide them with comfort and reliability.

Smart solution, modern design

The idea for the creation and development of this landing net originated years ago, when Fencl began to develop technologically and enter into the pan-European market. The primary inspiration was the idea to simplify the removal of the arms from the center of the landing net, in order to gently and quickly transfer the fish to the mat.

Gradually, other innovations began to appear in the development of this type of landing net, such as the ability to choose floating arms. This variant has begun to be widely used by fishermen who fish from a boat. When they land a fish, they can quickly disconnect the head of the landing net, then roll it up and let it float freely on the surface, while they put their rod down. The head of the landing net and the  fish are then easily and gently transferred to the boat.

This version has also proven useful in IBCC races, for example, when speed and accuracy are needed.

High quality

This landing net is of a high quality, not only  because we’ve used the best materials, but also because of great mechanical engineering. All the structural solutions have been created in  the Czech Republic with the help of our designer. This is not something that is already on the market, but a technology that was born here from the drawing of the first screw. The  version that is now on the market  has come a long way and taken a lot of time and effort.

ONE-TOUCH mechanism

The Fencl mechanism, which we simply call ONE-TOUCH, is a one-touch system in which the nut can be turned in both directions to release the landing net arms. It was developed to suit both right-handed and left-handed users, and so that there is no need to think about in which direction to twist when landing a fish. The center is finished with a universal thread that allows it to be attached to any landing net rod. However, this mechanism cannot be used in  combination with  arms other than the  original because the arms of our landing net are specially modified. The  cross-linked fiberglass arms are finished with stainless steel, which has a magnet that eases insertion into the cross of the landing net.

And this year we have developed this landing net model even further! We’ve introduced the option of building the Carp Premium according to your own preferences. And what does that mean? You can choose whether you want polyester classic mesh or rubberized. Fencl wants to give you choices and let you select the configuration you desire from a wide range of options.

Carp Premium is on the market for the second year running and we thank you for your great feedback and references. We are happy to have brought something to the fishing market for which there was truly a need!

How to choose a spin-fishing landing net

Modern and innovative landing nets for hunting predatory fish! 100% functional even in severe outdoor conditions. We use high-end materials that are durable even in saltwater, so you can go fishing for sea trout with  this landing net.

Fencl Predator Premium PRO and Fencl Predator Premium Pro Special

A revolutionary landing net that has become highly sought after and popular among a wide group of anglers who prefer and emphasize quality fishing equipment that can provide them with comfort and reliability.

Smart solution, modern design

In our e-shop you can use the configurator, which will offer you compatible options for assembling the landing net. Do you like floating nets, for example? That's no problem with us! Imagine wading in the water and letting the landing net float by your side. A safety cable prevents the loss of the landing net and the black foam on the frame allows the entire landing net structure to float on the surface.

You can also choose the handle design. For lovers of naturalism, we have specially made handles from wood. This is a high-quality hardwood treated with a hydrophobic protection which is used in the treatment of ocean ships, but thanks to our technology you can feel the  details of the veneer in your hand.

Enthusiasts of minimalism will appreciate the carbon handle, and even here we also left the texture of the material. The handle tip has a 360 degree swivel eyelet.

High quality

This landing net is of a high quality, not only  because we’ve used the best materials, but also because of great mechanical engineering. All the structural solutions have been created in  the Czech Republic with the help of our designer. This is not something that is already on the market, but a technology that was born here from the drawing of the first screw. The  version that is now on the market  has come a long way and taken a lot of time and effort.

Comparison of Premium Pro and Premium Pro Special

Premium Pro and Premium Pro Special = the two different landing net head shapes may seem at first glance like just a design feature, but for many anglers they are useful when fishing for different types of fish. The Special shape is recommended for fishing for pike, sea trout and other slender fish.

Premium Pro is a great choice for smaller, stronger predators.

How to choose a fly-fishing landing net

For fly fishermen we have a special model line: Fencl King® and Fencl Queen® in four sizes M,L,XL,XXL . The landing nets feature a firmly attached magnetic frame holder, thanks to which you can hang the entire landing net on the eyelet of the fly-fishing vest, so you still have the landing net ready to engage.

Advantages of landing nets

  • comfort for the fisherman , thanks to intuitive magnetic back suspension
  • rubber net that will not snag hooks, will not absorb water or odors and is very gentle on the fish
  • perfectly balanced landing net, center of gravity in the handle ⇒ easy handling in water
  • universal thread, can be combined with another handle (extended/short)


Safety cable system

Our landing nets are floating and have a safety feature that ensures we do not lose the landing net in the water.
The safety feature mentioned here is a unique safety cable and magnetic suspension system that can be attached to a backpack or fishing vest.

A rubber-coated steel cable connected to a magnet can be looped on
trousers or on a belt.

The net is perfectly secured so you can fish in peace. The same applies to the use of a Belly Boat. No more looking for a landing net at the bottom of a river or lake. Thanks to our system, the landing net is always firmly anchored. It is also worth mentioning our Fencl handles, which are available in wood or carbon.
You can also decide whether you prefer extended (40 cm) or short (15 cm) handles. If you decide to purchase a complete landing net, a landing net handle comes with it.
