Questions about Frabill Hiber-Net | Collapsible Landing Net for Freshwater Fishing | Fish-Friendly Netting | Hoop Size: 23" x 22"

What is the netting made of? Is it a knotless net?

Answer: nylon and it is not knotless. it is a great net, I use mine in saltwater just be sure the slot is up when deployed or stowed.I bought a second thinking they may discontinue them I've had this net for about 4 years.

Answer: We've used the net several times now with no knots, and my brother in law has had his a lot longer than us with no knots either! So I would have to say knot less !! Love this net!!'n

Answer: it is a twine type knotted net

Answer: Unless you catch very big fish this net is great. If your fear is could a fish hook get caught in this net the answer is yes.

Answer: It does not have knots nice and soft will not harm fish.

how deep is the net

Answer: The net is 20" deep. I actually opened it to measure the depth. That is a dry, unstreched net measurement. I imagine the previous answers are also correct after the net is wet and streched.

Answer: 2 to 2 1/2 ft. Deep

Answer: Approx 24"

Product reviews of Frabill Hiber-Net | Collapsible Landing Net for Freshwater Fishing | Fish-Friendly Netting | Hoop Size: 23" x 22"

Chris Mitchell : Great net that stows nicely

Overall this is a great net. It has its pluses and minuses but I really like it.

What I like: It saves space. I can sore this in my rod locker on my bass boat and it takes up basically no space. The days of dealing with a giant net on the deck of my boat are over. There are folding nets that I can put in my rod locker but the net is exposed and they get tangled on baits still attached to my rods. The net on the Hiber Net tucks safely away into the handle were it can't get tangled. Also, it is quick to deploy.

What I don't like: It does not have a rubber tangle free net. It is a cloth/nylon type net that will snag your hooks every time you land a fish. There is also the possibility of it getting stuck while opening or closing the net but I have not experienced this yet.

For me this net is great and I'm really satisfied with it. I definitely recommend it to others.

Tina L. Wright : Great product, but stiff to open.

This is a great product. We're hoping that WD-40 will make it a little easier to open before the fish get away.

Timothy R ONeill : I'VE HAD THREE OF THESE AND LOVE THEM FOR MY DRIFT BOAT UNTIL THEY FAIL

I'VE HAD THREE OF THESE AND LOVE THEM FOR MY DRIFT BOAT UNTIL THEY FAIL; WHICH THEY DO. I steelhead fish a lot (over 20 days a year). That means cold freezing temps and sand, the nemesis of this device. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not easy on stuff but the achilles heel of this net is the internal metal rod that controls the slider. It fails by either bending back into handle or slipping out of the hole in the plastic sliding sheath. The other more minor issue that leads to the rod/slider failure it the tight tolerance between the plastic slider and the metal handle. Any sand in there and you get friction which causes it to not fully open or close then you have no choice but to pull harder to move it and then it fails. Great concept but for what steelheaders do it's not quite ready for prime time. Our local Bass Pro doesn't flinch when I return it; they just hand me a new one. I buy 90% of my stuff on amazon but my first one of these came from there as a gift so that's where they go back to when they seize up. I love the concept though. Drift boat fishermen need this device to work, do you hear me Frabill? The fix is so simple!

Lifetime Amazon Buyer : Great Idea For A Fishing Net

The only problem I have is that it doesn't extend in length. Sometimes you just need that extra few inches to net the fish. Stores really easy in the boat. Haven't had any trouble with opening and closing so far. Hope for a few years of use before having to replace. Will see in time if it holds up.

NateKnows : Mine is hard to Expand

For the money spent I thought this would work nicer. When pushing out the pole extends nicely, but to get the net to "pop" open. I am using extreme force and not happy with it. I don't feel this will last very long for me and now I am outside the return window.

Mrs T : Fishing net

This is the BEST net

Gail Turner : Great Product

This was a purchase for mu husband - he loves it.
It stores away so easily and works great.

DawnLN : Net

I purchased this net for my husband and he absolutely loves it. He does suggest that you keep a can of WD-40 on board if you are fishing in salt water.

Referman : Really nice net

Really nice, have not had a chance to go out yet with it, but looks like should work really well.

LOUIS J CULOTTA SR : Excellent service and product excellent

Excellent service and product excellent. I also have the larger model. This one is easier to handle in my bass boat.

Nitro007 : Nice but make it easier to colapse

I love the way it folds into the handle but it is not easy to fold up. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 star from 5 star.

Tim Mathena : Five Stars

Great net, saves lots of room in the boat

Nitro007 : Nice but make it easier to colapse

I love the way it folds into the handle but it is not easy to fold up. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 star from 5 star.

terry jones : the principal of the net folding up seemed great but it is very hard to open

the principal of the net folding up seemed great but it is very hard to open. I prefer my rubber net

Concerned American Citizen : Show-off net

No more tangled nets catching on everything in the boat. Put in rod rack and it is quick to deploy for a big one. Only problem is it takes two hands, so you need to fish with a buddy. (A good idea anyway) It held a 6 pound redfish easily, and after rinsing stored quickly and easily.
My buddies were jealous!

C. Whittemore : They loved it!

I bought this for my husband and son. They take a fishing trip every summer, and they always take a day to hike into a remote area with no roads. This made it much easier for them. They loved it!

Phill : Overpriced, over engineered but fantastic product.

If you have $65's burning a hole in your pocket and want a talking point next time you take your boat out fishing with your friends then buy this.

I did and love it, everyone of my friends who have seen it wants one.

It is practical as it will store with all your rods and takes up little space compared with other fishing nets but mostly it is just very cool.

Dereck D : Very hard to use

Very hard to get the net to open and the net hats hung up in the tube opening when you store it.

martha B. Florida born and raised! : Super cool net!!

Super easy to use and store! Big enough for a 37&1/2 inch fish!!! Really sturdy just be sure to rinse it thoroughly!
