Overview
An aluminum and nylon fishing net with an extendable handle running 27 to 35 inches, foldable for storage, built for fly fishing use.
The extendable handle range gives some reach flexibility without carrying a fixed length pole, useful when wading and needing extra distance to net a fish without stepping closer. At 0.44 kilograms it stays light enough to clip onto a vest or pack without weighing an angler down over a full day.
- Extendable 27-35 inch handle
- Aluminum frame with nylon netting
- Foldable for compact storage
- 0.44 kilogram weight
Who it's for
Fly anglers who want a compact, packable net that extends when needed and folds down small for wading trips or hikes to remote water.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Extends out to 35 inches from a compact folded size
- Lightweight aluminum and nylon build at under half a kilogram
- Nylon mesh is gentler on fish for catch and release
- Hoop size not stated, so capacity for larger fish is unclear
- Red color may not suit anglers wanting a low visibility net
Performance notes
The aluminum handle keeps weight down while nylon mesh in the hoop is gentle enough on fish scales and slime coat for catch and release handling. The folding design lets the net collapse for storage in a vest pocket or pack, then extend out when a fish is ready to land.
