Questions about Crystal River Live Release Net

Would this net work for Small and Lg mouth bass fishing on a river or is it to small? Thanks

Answer: I would call this a trout net and it is small but I've never a bass too large for this net to handle

Answer: We don't have bass in Alaska so I don't know. We have landed some nice 24" Rainbow Trout with it though. Hope this helps. It is a nice net for the price.

Answer: I think it would be to small especially for the large mouth. I have a hard to using it to net my flounder.

Answer: I am a bass fisher myself and have used this for both

Answer: It's a good size, not too big, easy to carry. Light weight, but the net is large. I've used mine and am well pleased with it so far.

Shipping Weight: 11 pounds?? 11once?

Answer: Wasn't 11 pounds, it couldn't been more than 1 pound

Answer: 11 ounces very light

Answer: 11tons

Answer: 11Oz

Folding net - what kind of knit material is being used?

Answer: Some form of synthetic material; like polyester. It is not nylon, cotton, of rubber coated.

?Folding net- what is the material made

Answer: Wooden handle, nylon catch and release netting, low end quality, it'll get you by, works better than nothing

Answer: A very cheap and flimsy wood.

Is it durable? My 11 yo daughter is asking for a frog/fish net. We've had nets in the past but usually the net rips around rim

Answer: The net is more of what you might call "Entry Level". Although the net is nice it was purchased for a Youth Trout Fly Fishing event as a door prize.

Answer: This net is title junk! Save your money and get something else

Answer: I've had mine a couple of seasons and I'm happy with it.

Answer: No

What are the dimensions of the opening, length of net opening; width of net opening; and depth? Thanks JW

Answer: This is a very nice, quality, Trout Net ! The overall length is 20-1/2", with a net opening length of 13-1/2", and the width of the net opening is 6", with a net depth of 9-1/2". The end of the handle has a eyelet in it with a elastic lanyard attached so you can stretch it out and easily engulf the big Trout. I think you'll enjoy it. it's ideal for wading in the creeks with it attached to your vest or belt. If you plan on using it from a boat for bass, I suggest you buy a much larger and longer net. Happy Fishing!

Answer: "Strictly" an entry level net. We purchased these nets as door prizes for youngsters at our annual Trout Unlimited Banquet. Good for beginners, otherwise I'd recommend going up in price to get a net that will serve you better in the long run....

Answer: don't recall

What is the overall length (including handle)?

Answer: 21 inches, not including elastic cord.

Product reviews of Crystal River Live Release Net

Michael Wyatt : Great Net!

Great quality for the price!

J.F : great net`

great size and very light. it floats behind me when i'm in deep water and it's sufficiently stretchy. just what i wanted

Joshua Best : Good net for the price

I was looking for a small, lightweight net for landing trout in the Lackawanna River and this fits the bill. You could buy better nets...for much more money. It is lightweight, lighter than better nets of the same size, so it must be a bit more fragile, but I don't use it as a hammer. The price was right,it works well for netting fish and I hardly know I'm wearing it.

Amazon Customer : One Star

it was broken when i received it

Shawn I. : One broke when I was fumbling for it with a ...

One broke when I was fumbling for it with a big brown on my line, second one broke in the UPS box. A little too flimsy...but cheap.

Rajun Kajun : Five Stars

Just the ticket for my Grandson!

Amazon Customer : Looks like a good quality product

Got this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, he hasn't used this yet but he was excited to get a new one! Looks like a good quality product. We shall see come springtime. Took a star off for shipping....took longer then reported when I purchased it. Other then that, I'm happy with this purchase! Thank you.

DocTodd : Super Bargain

Can't beat this for the price. It's a fishing net, and it's light, inexpensive, and doesn't hurt the fish. Equivalent nets I saw were 3 to 5 times the price.

Paul Ziemba : Five Stars

Great net at a decent price, stout construction!!

Amazon Customer : Three Stars

Was more compact than the picture showed

Michael R. : Nice product

Great net for trout fishing.

Rajun Kajun : Five Stars

Just the ticket for my Grandson!

Robert Mielbrecht : Five Stars

Was a very popular at our conservation raffle.

ThriftyShopper : Five Stars

Floats and holds fish. Sure it could be used for other things too.

c c : Great net

Great size. Took trout fishing and worked great. Nice elastic handle too

Cobalt : Crystal River Fishing Net

This is a nice sized net. I made the mistake of thinking it was a rubberized netting material. It is not. The wood has not been treated so you’ll need to polyurethane it. The construction is medium quality. I rated net as below average because I will have to do some work to be able to use it.

Keowee TR6 Owner : Chinese junk

Actual net looks like advertised photo. On receipt of this net, wood frame is very rough. Doubt that it will last a season. My bad, such a low price should have tipped me off.

Jimmy : Great item

Use fkd trout fishing

Christopher : Don’t buy this, spend the money and buy a rising

I ordered this twice and it was shipped or broken. Not due to the shipping company but because the product is extremely fragile.

I can’t imagine this lasting more than a day or two on the river

KP and JP : Works great.

This is the same net you will find at most fishing stores for slightly more. Nothing special, no fancy workmanship. Works great.

Edwin Jimenez : Okay.

Not bad but the net traps the fish smell

frostrc911 : I love this net!

I wasn't expecting much with this net as it was only $11.00 and free super saver shipping.. But upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised. While made of wood it very lite. Nice deep net and attractive style (if a net can have style). Granted the finish was a bit rough with small varnish runs but the fish won't notice. For the price you'll be surprised. Saw a very similar one at Bass Pro and it was $19.95.

Amazon Customer : Got more use out of the shipping box.

Cheap piece of thrash. Got more use out of the shipping box.

KCB : A must have for fishermen who like to wade rivers, streams & creeks.

This is nice and light and is a great addition to my chest waders when standing in the middle of a creek or river. The quality seems to be very good and the netting has not given me any issue such as snagging the hooks of my lures when I've used this.The only thing I modified was the cord on the handle...I am short, and a long cord would allow the net to drag the brush when I am walking to my destination. I prefer an 8" looped leather lead rope. It make it easy to grab, grip and keeps the net higher on my short body.
I also bought a magnetic quick disconnect for this and that made this even better.

Cortney Kaufman : Super Lightweight

Great quality, very lightweight for my backpacking adventures. Swapped out the spring clip for a sturdier D ring for my belt attachment. Otherwise great for the price

John W. Rahn : Opening is to small

Opening is to small for me. Light weight and elastic strap but opening to put fish through is to small.

Floyd M. : Great net

Works great, used it on the south platt river in colorado.

KP and JP : Works great.

This is the same net you will find at most fishing stores for slightly more. Nothing special, no fancy workmanship. Works great.

David P. Medici : Three Stars

It ripped very quickly

Jimmy : Great item

Use fkd trout fishing

Hewtah : Decent net for the price

Bought these for my kids to get into fly fishing. They are not the best quality out there, but for a beginner setup I think they are great.

Cobalt : Crystal River Fishing Net

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

I would purchase this product again. Thanks.

G. W. Chapman : I look good with it at the river.

The finish on the wood could have been done better by a six year old.
The wood has lot of chips in it with no filler.
The net is not deep enough if you catch a 16 inch fish.
The spring cord is too short.
Other than that it is a great net.

Amazon Customer : Satisfied customer

Bought as gift. Husband was very pleased by it.

Dylan : Great net. It was a little smaller than I ...

Great net. It was a little smaller than I expected. Some of the trout I caught could barely fit...and no that's not a fisher man's joke, it's just the reality. It's great if you want your small fish to look bigger.

akaTheGeneral : Four Stars

as expected

Jimmy : Great item

Use fkd trout fishing

Alleyne Long : perfect for my needs

perfect for my needs. I took it on a backpacking trip to catch trout in small alpine lakes. It was perfect. Not too big or small for small to medium sized trout...8-18 inches long.

Michael R. : Nice product

Great net for trout fishing.

Melisa Ulmer : Great value

Just what I was looking for.

Ashley : Five Stars

Great gift. They loved it! Thank you.

John W. Rahn : Opening is to small

Opening is to small for me. Light weight and elastic strap but opening to put fish through is to small.

DR DAN CHEATHAM : So-So

A Little Small and I wonder if it will hold up.

Amazon Customer : Satisfied customer

Bought as gift. Husband was very pleased by it.

daniel : Good net

We used it as a decorative item so am I can say is that I looks good.

Daniel Shoebotham : Has a good feel

Looks like a good net Have not trued as of yet

APK : Crystal River Live Release Net

The river net was a Christmas present for my two college nephews. The brothers said they loved it and will use it in the spring and summer. They have just taken up fly-fishing and have a lovely Connecticut river near their house. The net will hopefully come in handy!

Amazon Customer : Got more use out of the shipping box.

Cheap piece of thrash. Got more use out of the shipping box.
