Abstract: An ergonomic and reconfigurable landing net includes a horizontal handle and sling, which uniquely shifts weight placed on the landing net by a netted fish, such that excessive force is not placed on the user's wrist, as with traditional landing nets. The horizontal handle provides greater directional control over the net head and is adjustable, allowing the handle to be positioned in accordance with a user's physical attributes and/or needs. The landing net also includes a removable net head that allows the landing net to be reconfigured with net heads of varying shapes and sizes.
