Sonik Xtractor+ Landing Net 42

Sonik Xtractor+ Landing Net 42: Versatile Reach and Tactical Control

At Gerrys Fishing, we find the Sonik Xtractor+ 42 Landing Net to be the ideal bridge between traditional long-handle nets and compact mobile systems. While the Recon model focuses on extreme pack-down, the Xtractor+ (T44) focuses on variable reach and rigidity. Featuring a new Twist-lock construction, this net allows you to set your handle at any custom length between 1.20m and 1.80m, making it equally effective for roving the banks or landing fish from the side of a boat.

Constructed from high-modulus stiff carbon, both the handle and the 42 arms are designed to resist sag when pushed through the water. This is paired with a forged aluminium spreader block, providing a rock-solid foundation that ensures the arms remain securely seated even under the strain of a heavy specimen.

Technical Specifications

The Xtractor+ (T44) is a high-performance landing system built for the mobile specimen angler:

Key Tactical & Durability Features

• Twist-Lock Adjustable Handle: The 2-piece telescopic handle can be locked at any position. Use it at its shortest length (1.20m) for tight swims or boat work, and extend it to 1.80m when you need that extra reach over marginal weed or steep banks.

• Forged Aluminium Spreader Block: The skeletonized design is not only visually striking but incredibly strong. It features a stainless steel 3/8 thread and is designed to ensure the arms are inserted correctly every time, reducing wear on the arm ends.

• Superior Fish Care Mesh: The net features a generous 95cm depth, providing a safe recovery zone for large carp. The free-flowing hexmesh sides reduce drag in the water, while the reinforced super-soft base protects the fishs scales and fins.

• Pointed Anti-Twist Butt Cap: The base of the handle is finished with a pointed spike. This allows you to secure the net into the ground to keep your catch safely in the water while you organize your unhooking mat and scales.

• Laser-Etched Anodised Finish: The butt cap is not only functional but finished to a high standard with laser-etched branding, providing a premium look that matches the Xtractor rod range.

• Reinforced Stitching: Heavy-duty stitching at all high-tension points ensures the mesh can handle the weight of UK and European specimens without failing.

Why the Xtractor+ (T44) is a Gerrys Essential

• Variable Control: The ability to lock the handle at any length provides a level of customization that fixed-length nets simply cannot match.

• Perfect Transport Length: At 44 inches (127cm), it is designed to fit perfectly alongside 9ft and 10ft Xtractor rods in their respective sleeves, creating a streamlined, uniform luggage setup.

• Boat & Bank Ready: Its ability to shrink to 1.20m makes it one of the most manageable boat nets available, while the 1.80m extension provides standard bankside reach.

Gerrys Pro Tip: When using the Twist-lock system, always ensure you give it a firm turn to lock it before submerging the net. Because of the hexmesh sides, this net cuts through the water very efficiently; if you are netting alone, the reduced drag makes it much easier to steer the net toward the fish with one hand
