Questions about SouthBend LN-250

would this work to catch chickens?! I'm worried it may be too small...Thanks!

Answer: Yes it is big enough to catch chickens but the handle is pretty short. If they are in an open pen I would get a larger net with a longer handle.

Answer: I think it would be to small to catch chickens. I would think you would want a wider dip net for this.

Answer: I use it to pick up shot ducks and geese from my boat. It should work!

How big are the holes in this net?

Answer: 1 inch in diameter give or take

Answer: 1in sq

What is the diameter of the metal handle without the foam grip?

Answer: about an inch

Can the netting be replace on this net . Does it come apart

Answer: No, the net frame does not come apart.

Answer: Nope.

Does this float?

Answer: Nope

could I use this to catch a bat flying around my ceiling?

Answer: Glad to see I'm not the only one. Had two bats in the house this morning. I've been using a long handled net. Think I will order one of these.

Answer: There's only one way to find out, Try It!! Probably will work.

Answer: Yes

Does the product contain lead under CA Prop 65?

How long is the handle

Answer: From handle end to the net part, it's approximately 18-20".

Answer: The handle is 18" from the end to where the two pieces that for the loop are joined. It's a great value.

Answer: Only about 1 1/2' to 2' is on the one I bought. Hope this helps.

Does this net come with 6 extra nets?

Answer: No. Just the one that's attached.

Answer: no

Answer: mine did not

Answer: No

Would this fit in standard rod holders?

Answer: Yeah it fits. But be careful, its still loose enough to come out. I lost mine kayaking next to the mangroves and didn't even realize I lost it.

Answer: Yes it does!

Would this be bug enough to land a 30+ inch fish? Catfish in particular?

Answer: Yes. Anything above 30 inches use a gaff.

Answer: No Problem.

Will fish jump in it ?

Answer: I can't answer your directly as it relates to fish as I use it to catch wayward chickens, but considering my chickens won't voluntarily jump in it, I'd venture the same goes to fish.

Answer: Oh yes. the fish are very attracted to this item poor quality

2nd time using it dropped in the water and it sunk super fast. Doesn’t float!

Colin : Sturdy and lightweight!

Great net! Sturdy, lightweight, and cheap. Big opening makes it simple to scoop fish up along with any masses of weeds that they might try to tangle you up in.

Great net to use between my flat bottom and kayak. Looks nice as well.

matash : One Star

Well its a net thats it no xtras at all .recieved it with the bottom rubber handle missing.

jen : Excellent for crabbing!

This is the preferred net on our boat for crabbing. The crabs aren’t able to get themselves as wrapped up in it as with our other net. It’s been performing very well for the past 2 years. Well-made too.

Shortened the handle for my use, works fine.

Kolby Holdren : Bad quality

Net part ripped before i even had a chance to use it

Alysia : Fishing net

I was amazed by the size of this net, when I took it out of the box!! Happy yes I am...Thanks.

Fernando Klein Rocha : Good but VERY Fragile. Be careful using it because it breaks easily.

Breaks VERY VERY VERY Easily. Mine broke (the pole bent) as I was trying to catch small fish in a pond, after 1 hour to 2 hours of use. If you use it with extreme care (and not break it) I presume it can be a useful tool.

Elroy Steele : #1 in Customer Service

Had to glue handle on, otherwise a nice lightweight net.

BIG WALT MACHINE : Five Stars

Way better than I expected. I'll see how it holds up.
