Q:

Is this strong enough for a 20 lb king salmon?

Answer: Absolutely. I had one at this size for five seasons, and got a TON of use out of it. Got me through dozens, maybe hundreds of 15 LB+ Carp and Channel Cats. A few 20+ pounders. Several 45"+ Muskies. 2 25 LB Snapping Turtles, and who knows how many smaller fish. It's worn out though. I'll either buy another at this size, or upgrayedd to the 26x30. But yes, it'll handle a 20 pound King. But hold it vertical, withe handle pointing up and down. At that size, if you hold it level, it'll bend the handle. I know :-(.

Answer: YES--I PUT 40 LB REDFISH IN IT FREQUENTLY.

Answer: Yes definitely, it was strong enough for a 30 pound carp.

Answer: mine worked fine for 15 lb then it fell in lake i went bigger

Answer: No. Get a bigger version. We bent this net first day on a 15lb steelhead.

Answer: absolutely not - I would look for a net at the local tackle shops in the area where you are fishing

Q:

Will this work for catfish?

Answer: Should work, works well for striped bass and fluke.

Answer: Always has. I landed a 35 LB Channel Cat last July with one. But anything larger and you'll want something bigger. I wouldn't use this size targeting big flatheads of blues.

Answer: Yes for sure . How large is your typical catch ? This is the best net I've ever used .

Q:

can i just buy the net section? the mice ate mine up.

Answer: You could try just going on the website. I had problems with mine and customer service was very helpful

Q:

Can you get a replacement net for this.

Answer: yes

Q:

Is this a good net for bull reds? Thanks

Answer: Tell you in a few months...taking ownership of new boat next month in Florida and drum red fish are on my list.

Answer: sorry dont know but work great for salmon

Linda E. : poor coating on bottom.

The coating wore off on the bottom and the cord rotted and fish dropped thru. Could not repair. 2 nets only lasted 3months

Dolly O. : Very Well Made!!!

Awesome net!!!!

C. Warling : Defective, disappointing

The first one we ordered had a couple of dents in the shaft so it didn’t move smoothly. We ordered a second one and there was a hole big enough for a 17 inch walleye to go through n the second day we used it. This would be a great net without these issues. The material is great, no teeth or gills stuck at all. Are these real ones or knockoffs or what?

Brian : Two Stars

Great net, sinks like a rock..

bp1357 : solo centerpinner

Getting the hang of center pinning for steelhead and loving it. In most cases I'm fishing alone and with a 14" rod this fits the bill for solo landing of fish. Collapses enough i can hang off back of my vest and have both hands free for other things when moving.

jberniej : Good buy!

Didn't expect it to be this large. This thing is huge!! And taller than me extended. I'm 5'2" this is 71* extended. Great quality; definitely a win, win!!! Plan on finding a way to attach a rope to go around my arm.

Herb G. : Well Made

Very well made and with the coating on the netting it should out last the nets I have owned in the past.

Deb : Frabill net right size that was needed.

Exactly what we were looking for fishing season on the Mississippi river. Large catfish soon to be 'grabbed' with this net.

Dolly O. : Very Well Made!!!

Awesome net!!!!

J. Gibbs : Issues with handle quality

They extending handle is terrible. First the end cap came lose, so I glued it. Then the rubber hand grip came loose. I emailed the company to see if they recommended a particular glue, they didnt respond for a month, by then I had already put hockey tape over it.
Then, the internal mechanism broke that keeps the 2 parts together, so it fell apart while using.
The net istelf is pretty food at keeping hooks from getting too tangled in it.

Updated July9th, 2019...Unable to get resolution with the company. It seems that this is a common failure, but they are not standing behind it, so the net is now useless.

Updated 23July...after a few emails with the company, they sent me a whole new net. So I retract my statement that they did not stand behind their product.

works great and stores nicely

TheBendu : Yes, it's Fraybill quality or junk. Whichever you prefer, they're the same thing. ????

I seriously have no clue why the reviews are so high for this. This net is junk. The whole thing is held together by a flimsy piece of plastic and 2 screws that are of course, stripped out. It's the actual connection point on the hoop. Easy to see it will snap with a 40+ pound fighting fish. Very cheap, Chinese made junk. Save your money and get something better. Anything is better than this worthless thing. I'll use it till it breaks in the next few times out and just return it before my return window closes.

Timothy S. McKay : I like the net

I like the net. I did have a small shark chew a hole through it but was able to repair it.
