Overview

BasicGear's 17 inch net is built as a small landing and baitwell net in white, sized for handling smaller catches or transferring live bait rather than landing large fish.

The dual naming, landing net and baitwell net, along with the small size tag, points to a compact net meant for scooping bait or small fish rather than heavy landing duty. Handle length and mesh material are not given in the listing.
