From the strong wooden handle and solid frame to the stitching and soft, smooth sock material, everything feels well made and designed to withstand regular use. It’s a piece of equipment made for serious koi handling rather than a cheaper general-purpose fish net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is my personal favourite handling sock to use at Queni Koi. Having used plenty of different handling socks over the years, I find the Matsuda particularly lightweight, easy to control and extremely gentle on the fish. The material supports the koi during transfer while helping to protect the slime coat, scales and fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep sock and generously sized opening also make transferring koi between ponds, bowls and vats much easier, particularly when you're handling fish regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Matsuda Japanese handling sock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional build quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong wooden handle and sturdy frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality stitching and materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft and gentle against the koi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and very easy to manoeuvre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for safe, controlled transfers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for regular and professional use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur personal favourite at Queni Koi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a handling sock that you'll be using regularly, this is one I'd happily recommend spending a little more on, the difference in quality is immediately noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Queni Koi Southern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58671177859446,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/9238\/5910\/files\/Firefly_RemoveBackground.png?v=1789049414","url":"https:\/\/www.queni-koi.co.uk\/products\/matsuda-japanese-koi-handling-sock","provider":"Queni Koi Southern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
