My wife is pretty cool with my fish obsession but she hates the way my fish nets smell.

Anyone have tips on keeping fish nets from smelling?

Does she wear a fish net suit?:D:j/k: I never put the net to my nose to sniff it but I cannot smell just walking by it. I rinsed it instantly after each use then sun dry it.

I just rinse and dry them. No smell but they're in well ventilated areas. If your fishroom is getting smell, you could always stow a cup of charcoal in a corner to get the charcoal to absorb the odor.

i rinse in tap water then "swat" with it repeatedly outside to dry it. never had a smelly net yet. my net sits in my stand or in my bucket. both are in my sitting room though so smells would be an issue.

I never knew they smell. I wonder if its your water thn has the odor?

I dont even try to dry them... just put the net in a recyclable metal cooking pan and go about my business.

Sometimes I hang them over my Sump and forget about them but never noticed the smell.

Maybe its the Net? I thought I seen a black cloth type net at Petsmart a while back (if it pertains to ya)
