product description

Fourteen years ago we set out on a simple mission – to develop a better fishing landing net solution that addressed the many functional and performance problems that existed with the traditional products. What started out as a small landing net company has now grown into the innovation leader in the fishing net and accessories category of the Sport Fishing industry. The EGO S1 Genesis and EGO S2 Slider landing net series have been the flagship products under the EGO brand. However, in recent years the addition of the EGO fishing tools and accessories designed to meet specific angler applications and requirements have become and increasingly important aspect of the business. In 2016 the EGO Kryptek product series was launched featuring the high-tech and very popular Kryptek camo technology. The lifestyle oriented product line brought a new standard in finish quality and design to the fishing net and accessories market and has rapidly gained popularity with anglers throughout the country. EGO products are sold at most major sporting goods retail chains and are carried by a large network of distributors and independent dealers in the United States. Distribution has also grown internationally to include countries such as Canada, Russia, South Africa, South Korea and Japan. From one simple mission has come a host of innovative fishing products that have elevated the fishing experience for thousands of savvy anglers throughout the world.

Answer: It's a very nice, sturdy net. Yes - small enough to keep in minnow-sized fish.

What is the length of collapsed size & height & width of net opening?

Answer: net is five-sided max 10 by 12 inches and 12 inches deep. i use mine to fish tennis balls, etc out of my pool. works great for me.

How long is this net when extended?

Answer: This net is 37" with hoop retracted and 58" fully extended including hoop. The handle is 27 to 48" long.

Answer: It's just short of 5 feet at 58 inches from tip to tip

how fine is the mesh? is it as fine as a fish tank net?

Answer: I skim my pool with this net, could also be used for live well, fish tank., etc.

Answer: Purchased this for my son for his bait well on his boat, it’s a well constructed net. I’m not sure this would work for indoor tanks because it’s pretty large. If your tank is huge it might work.

Answer: It's not fine like a fish tank net, slightly more porous but very strong.

Answer: Bigger holes than a fish tank net If were thinking of the same fish tank net. Stretched out these holes are around 1/2 inch.

Answer: It is not as fine as the mesh on a fish tank net. Maybe an 1/8".

Is net frame stainless steel?

Answer: I’m not sure if it’s stainless or aluminum, but it doesn’t rust, and it’s a nice light weight.

Answer: Not sure but it hasn't rusted.

Answer: yes

What is the metal made of that the net is fastened to? Looking for a good quality livewell net that will last through saltwater.

Answer: Seems to be regular steel,not stainless.

would this net work for catching small bait type fish in a pond or lagoon?

Answer: The fish would have to be pretty small. Not what I purchased it for. It would work for panfish or smaller trout.

Answer: I would think so, yes. The holes are small enough to catch even the smallest of fish.

Answer: It definitely would.

Answer: Yes it would

Answer: Yes.

I want to use to scoop crawfish out of the river reeds. Is this a very sturdy net?

Answer: No. I don’t think it is sturdy enough for that. Wire hoop is a little flimsy, and the plastic neck that connects the pole to the rim can crack pretty easily. I strictly use mine for scooping bait from the live well in my boat.

Answer: Never used it in a wet environment, its only been used to catch and release stray birds trapped inside my house, announcing their feeder was empty. Seems to be pretty sturdy for any use.

Is the net fitted around its frame, or is it protected being connected on the inside of its frame through a slot?

Answer: 46 inches fully extended

Does this net float?

Answer: There is no material in my net that floats however if dropped in water it will float until the aluminum poles fill with water. The description mentions wooden dut there is no wood in my net. The netting is nylon lastswell in the outdoors it’s a little to light weight but no floaty.

Answer: No it does not....

Answer: no

I would like to put this in my suitcase, does the handle detach completely?

Answer: It doesn't detach completely - it just shortens (telescopes). Depending on the size of your suitcase, it may work.

Answer: No, the net it fixed to the handle

Answer: No. A lip prevents it from becoming completely detatched.

Answer: no it does not.

What are the size of the netting holes?

Answer: This net has a 3/16" mesh.

Answer: They are small enough for holding almost any baitfish, about 1/8". It is a very nice net.

Answer: Nylon I think

Think I could use it to scoop up Crabs off a dock?

is the metal frame bendable? i would like to bend it into an oval shape

Answer: I don't think so. The net is sewn to specifically fit the frame as it is. A great net, withstands catching frogs, turtles, etc by young grandchildren!

Answer: The netting part will bend pole can not

Answer: Doesn't seemed designed to bend, but you could do it with some muscle.

Product reviews of EGO Student Nets, Bug, Butterfly & Aquatic Netting, Wooden Easy & Safe for Kids, Get Kids Outdoors Again, Science NetsAvailable in 3 Types

Pam S. : Not bad

Better than the last one I ordered. We'll see how long it lasts...

Max Handy : I own 2. Great nets for kids.

I own 2. Great nets for kids.

Ryan : Black net, not white

havn't used it yet, it looks like it will do the job well, and very light for my kids to use. BUT it is not a white net as shown in the photo, it's a black net on the product I received. You may think that's picky, but a white net would have made it much easier for my little ones to gather around the net and see the tiny minnows and fish they had caught.

Renee Thurston : Not a fishing net

Was more of a butterfly net instead of a fishing net. Very disappointed

T. Elliott : Nice Bait Well Net

I actually don't own a boat. I use this net along the banks of a river to catch minnows and crawdads for fish bait. It works really for that. Plus the telescoping handle allows me to reach places a shorter minnow net can't reach.

dleddin : Five Stars

Very strong and lighweight

Jeanne Elders DeWaard : comments look great my son loves to fish he catches frogs and ...

comments look great my son loves to fish he catches frogs and fish and are woods and is always asking to go fishing with his rod im looking forward to him using it and i hope its a great gift thanks.

Adventure : Perfect net for a kid to explore a creek with

Perfect net for a kid to explore a creek with. Much more durable and robust than most dip nets or butterfly nets. Good product.

patricia strain : works great for my pool

i am always having to fish things out of my pool, namely tennis balls for my dog, and I am so glad I got this net. It makes it so easy to do since I do not have to get down on my knees to get things out.

Manuel peters : Five Stars

Nice little net ! Good for crayfish .

GARY RAY ELLIOTT : Five Stars

Excellent. Worked perfectly.

Jeff A. Hoover : Ripped net from frame within 4 weeks

We've bought a few of these and they typically last the season, but this one didn't last very long at all. Hoping to find a way to get a replacement.

Odessa : Very Good

This net is durable and you can trust the metal when extending. The net has held up and the metal is strong. Good buy!

Adventure : Perfect net for a kid to explore a creek with

Perfect net for a kid to explore a creek with. Much more durable and robust than most dip nets or butterfly nets. Good product.

K-Z : Shore Crabbing!

We crab on the shores of Oahu. And my almost-5-year old daughter loves this net. Freeing me to use mine. She's already caught a few, but sadly they were too small to keep.

Lulu : good for birds

I use this to catch and release small birds that fly into my house!

R. Whitesell : Fun fun

Loads of fun for the kids. A little difficult to retract handle if sand gets inside. Otherwise, kids thoroughly enjoyed catching small fish in the surf with this net.

K. : Five Stars

Works great!

Radgear : Best net my daughter has ever had :)

We bought this as a Christmas gift for my youngest daughter and it seems to be a VERYgood quality net. She can't wait until Spring so she can use it to go exploring for frogs, snakes, fish & turtles...which she is VERY careful about :)

Robin Backer : Not as described. Arrived broken.

This product arrived with the packaging intact the net was broken. The handle was bent and also broken completely in half. For some reason it was shipped in a gigantic long package even though it has a telescoping handle and could have been sent collapsed. The handle looks so flimsy I think it would break soon upon use even if it had arrived intact. The item was also not as described. The net is a different shape. It is more elongated like a butterfly net which is not what I wanted. Not usable at all.

T. Elliott : Nice Bait Well Net

Renee Thurston : Not a fishing net

Robin Backer : Not as described. Arrived broken.

Stephanie B. Walters : Best Dock/Kid Net out there period

We are boaters in Washington State and have bought every kind of net possible for our kids. This net rules them all. It is very durable, it will last at least 2 seasons ( for us that means leaving it out fully in the elements for two years ). It floats, it does not rust. It can retract or extend making it easy to store. I think that $15.00 is a bargain.

wispark : crab net

Bought three for my grand-kids. They use them to net crayfish under the dock at our lake home. Very strong and well made. The telescoping handle adjusts easily.

R. Whitesell : Fun fun

Loads of fun for the kids. A little difficult to retract handle if sand gets inside. Otherwise, kids thoroughly enjoyed catching small fish in the surf with this net.

Robin Backer : Not as described. Arrived broken.

Eyu : Quality not so good.

The net I received is in black. The plastic handle is hard and slippery. It feels like a cheap net.

suzie morrison : Nice!!!!!

Good product for the money. Better than I expected!!!!!!I like the telescopic handle Would buy again. Very light weight. Nice!!!!!!!
