Questions about Frabill Bridge/Pier Net | 36" Diameter Fishing Net Pre-Rigged with 50 Feet of Rope , Black

Is this item the collapsible?

Answer: No it's not collapsible but it's a great net I'm picky and you won't be disappointed

Answer: NO,,,,,sold steel hoop like 1/4" solid rod ring,deep net,3-4 ft deep,had 50' line attached

Answer: Frame is solid metal. You are stuck with the circumference. Very good net.

Answer: No, and it's actually really hard to store.

Answer: No it is not.

Answer: no

Is the bridge net available to order in your area,I can’t place an order?

Can you use it for crabbing too?

Answer: not really made for crabing,net is like 3-4 deep and ya would have to be in really calm water and pull it up real fast before the climb out,,,,,,,,

Answer: No ur gonna need a trap

Is this available in smaller size like 15-20" diameter? If not anyone can recommend one? Even if i get separate net and ropes

Answer: This one is just fine.

what dimiater is the steel ring of the net and roughly how much does it wiegh cheap nets don't weight enought?

Answer: not positive on size,it 36" atleast,well built from 3/8th steel rod I would say,net hangs like 3' feet or more empty,nice heavy duty net I say!!

Answer: About 36 inches and built extremely well. I don't know the weight, but it is sturdier than I expected. I am happy with it.

Answer: 36" diameter. No idea of weight. but enough to do the job

Do you think this could handle 60+lb flatheads?

Answer: 40lbs yes!! Anything bigger probably not! I think the frame would probably bend on Anything over 40lbs

Answer: I believe it could. I landed a 48lb Nurse Shark with it a year and a half ago.

Answer: yes it can

Answer: Yes

Answer: I believe so.

What size is diameter of the net eyes?

Answer: I don't the exact size they not small . A small bluegill or shad would go right through. You couldn't use it for small bait fish.

Does it really take 1 to two months to ship and arrive? Thats what it says???

Do you make any stronger quality ones for bigger fish, to hold up to 80 pounds?

Does it really take 6 to 8 weeks to get it

I'd like to return my net. it's unopened as i did not get to use it. not looking for a refund, i don't want it to go to waste. is this possible?

Answer: Ask any tackle shop they may help.

Hello much weight can this net pickup? Not in the description. Thanks.

Is there a smaller model of this? This is too big for the type of fish I am catching from the pier.

Answer: Do you mean you need small holes or a smaller diameter. Both are available-might need to visit the competition.

Do you know when they will be back in stock?

What kind of knot do you recommend to secure this net to the pier?

Answer: Round turn and two half hitches

Answer: one that holds!!

Also is this a flexible framed net? And how wide is the opening from one end or side to the other side?

Answer: The opening is at least 30 inches across. I don't know what you mean when you say flexible framed net. I am away from the net at this time, but it works for me from at least a 40' bridge height.

Answer: No it is not a flexible frame. The frame appears to be made from sturdy aluminum and is 36" wide. It is a high quality pier net and I am pleased with it so far.

Answer: It's not a flexible frame. Metal circle frame approx. 3ft diameter, with nylon mesh net and nylon rope pull. Not sure how my dad plans to store it, but it worked fantastically, and I had my doubts when he opened it on Father's day! :)

Answer: No it is not a flexible framed net. It has one large steel ring that is a bit ackward to transport and is very close to the advertised 36 inches.

Answer: The frame is not flexible it is made of steel. The opening is 35 1/4" the size of the hoop.

Answer: It is not a flexible frame and it is 36- inches across. Great net

Answer: It is not flexible. It is 36" wide.

Answer: Net is 36" in diameter at the mouth. Solid metal frame.

Answer: this frame pops up and makes the device more rigid. the net is three feet across and with a raised border of 3 inches. I attached a 5 foot pole to the center with a rope to be able to pull it up fast when fish are in it. This device works well but you need to have patience with it. Fish are fast. I like the way it folds up for easy storage and handling.

Answer: It is a metal frame and not flexible

Can you take the hoop apart to replace the mesh on this?

Answer: Hello. We haven't needed to replace the netting (yet). We've had it for 4/5 years and have used it at least 50 times off the bridge/pier. There must be a spot on the metal ring to cut or separate to replace the net. Don't have it right here to look at it-all the gear is stored. Worst case scenario, cut off the netting, and rehang the new net over the ring, leave an inch folded over the ring and I would sew it / weave it with 100 lb. test line around the ring.

Answer: Not without cutting it and welding it back together

Does it come with rope?

Answer: Yes mine came with a 20 -30 ft of rope. Great, was ready to use .

Answer: yes, there is a 20-30 foot nylon rope attached

Answer: Yes mine came with 50 foot of rope

Answer: Yes it does and it's very sturdy

Answer: Yes. No complaints.

Answer: Yes it did .

Is this net large enough to land large salt water fish from 50-150 lbs? Sharks, tarpon, barracuda elevated to an above 25' bridge?

Answer: We love our net. Would not have been able to land a lot of the fish that we have caught since we purchased it if we had not had it. For a fish that large we have found that it takes two people to bring it up. Have not caught anything over 50/60 lbs so not sure about landing over that but I feel pretty sure that if you get it in the net and can lift it it would hold it. Good luck on the fishing and I hope this helps.

Answer: Hi Kristy, too tell you the truth I don't know. It looks very sturdy and very big, for sure a 50 lb. My husband purchased it to go pier fishing and I imagine if you caught a 50 lb, plus fish you could elevate it with some help. Unfortunately my husband passed and never got the opportunity to try it out, I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

Answer: I would not think it to be strong enough for a 50 lb fish, or at least not much more .

Answer: I do not think so.

How far under water does the net go?

Answer: Hello. Depends on where you're standing. We must have been over 15 feet+ off the water's surface on a pier. Used this net to hoist up a 200 pound nurse shark on rod and reel. We have maybe 50 feet of rope on the net. Plenty of slack to maneuver under the catch and strong enough to heave that catch up and over the rail! Good luck. Awesome net. Don't even think twice!

Answer: It depends on the water current and you can add some weight inside the bottom of the net to make it go down further if you need to. It is meant to go under the fish to bring it up so it stays in the topwater if you dont add any weight.

Answer: depends on how much weight u have on it. or if u let the rope go or not.

Answer: Well over 30 feet.

What is the difference between size 2 and 4? The description for each all say 36". Thank you.

Answer: The thickness of the net.

Answer: Don’t know I got the 36inch it’s plenty big

Answer: Didn't have that option when I bought mine. Sorry.

What size is the box it comes in?

Answer: Wow. Had this net for years now. Not exactly measured. It came in a flat carton. Most likely 38"+ square x 4 or 5 inches high/tall.

Answer: It was wrapped in cardboard

Can you use it for big game like 70 pound fish off the pier

Answer: 70lbs is pushing it. I did it with 50lbs striper and it was questionable but its a really good net.

Answer: Absolutely. The important thing is to make sure that the rope leading to the net is secured properly

Jocelyn Fife : Good quality

Very good quality

Brad Allen : Well built

Good net

XP : OK net

This is a really wide net. It would be nice if it was fold-able, or more portable. Overall it did work pretty good for what its intended for.

Murdercove : Extra net

Works great-!! Only problem was Amazon sending me an extra net, that I was Billed for-????
And unable to return for the amount that I paid-????
Look me up- I have a brand new one in the box that I'll sell for $8 less

Samantha : Trash

The ring snapped on the second use

Jay J Desotelle : Great value

Product works great! Good value for the price

Alex Salinas : Great net, perfect if you are looking to nab ...

Great net, perfect if you are looking to nab a big fish. I managed to bring up on to the the pier a 4 foot spinner shark in this net, excellent product for pier fishing.

Josh : Good bang for the buck

Worked well and was exactly as advertised

sammy ray : A must have for pier fishing

This is a nice net and some were in use on my trip to Rockport. Sorry to report I didn't catch a fish large enough to need it. Just wait until next trip

XP : OK net

Mark : ... fish a series of locks and this net is perfect for pulling fish up elevated platforms

I fish a series of locks and this net is perfect for pulling fish up elevated platforms.Why I waited so long to buy one is beyond me.

MarkAKACatfish : Five Stars

Best pier/bridge net you can get! No problem hauling a 45lb ray up 40ft!!

Michael : Strong

Used to pull up 80lb ray in Boca

Josh : Good bang for the buck

Worked well and was exactly as advertised

The Viquars : Sturdy and comes with a rope

I wont go fishing on a pier without it. Sturdy and comes with a rope. Ready for use.

Len : This fishing net is gigantic!

36 inches doesn't sound like a lot but this thing feels like it is at least 48". I'm going to have to measure it just to be sure. It is huge. I could live with something half this size for normal pier fishing. Otherwise it is a great net.

Tim : Great drop net

Well just got my drop net today and it is better made than I expected. It will definitely get some use. I live in Florida so there are a lot of fishing piers and bridges around the state and close to my area. The net is heavier made which I love and a 50 ft drop line hooked to it. It is going to be an awesome drop net and glad I bought it. I thought it was a little to pricey, but glad I did. The price of everything is going up just not the wages to compensate for the price increases. But still I needed it so it was worth it. Just don't know if I would pay more for it if the price goes up any higher. Great drop net. Recommend it.

Michael : Strong

Used to pull up 80lb ray in Boca

Vermont Reader : Decent Quality

Seems sturdy enough. Used once so far.

Tee_rox : Works great. Pulled a 45 lb flathead over the catwalk ...

Strong durable and exactly what i needed for fishing from bridges or piers.

Amazon Customer : To say i am not pleased is an under statement

I waited till i used the net before i commented on it .Today i caught a #12 Shark off Navaree pier where i purchased to use it from.
The steel frame could not handle the weight and split on the Joint .

To say i am not pleased is an under statement

Manny : Four Stars

Great net, perfect if you are looking to nab a big fish. I managed to bring up on to the the pier a 4 foot spinner shark in this net, excellent product for pier fishing.

Jane Minnix : Perfect

Hubby loves it!

Matthew H. : Look local first

Well made but you can probably get them cheaper at a brick and mortar store. Ordered one and then went to academy and they had them for 15-20 dollars cheaper. Look local before you order.

Alvin sexton : Good Purchase

It helped me land a 50lbs stingray at the gulf state pier.

Amazon Customer : Tough as nails and light weight

Sebastian Inlet fishing from the North Jetty isn't the easiest the Ng to do without a bridge net ,the Frabill net proved itself more than up to the challenge by landing this large stingray first time out.Very Sturdy piece of gear and we'll worth it's price,Love it...

Granny Smythe : This is a great and sturdy pier/bridge net

This is a great and sturdy pier/bridge net! The metal ring opening on the top of the net is larger than all of the local options which is a lot better when trying to get bigger steelhead in the net!

The connection of the rope to the be is great and sturdy! I really like that it only had 3 connections from the rope to the net as that reduces the hassle of running a fish into one of those rope lines when trying to net it! Also the rope is decent rope and came plenty long enough for my uses!

sammy ray : A must have for pier fishing

This is a nice net and some were in use on my trip to Rockport. Sorry to report I didn't catch a fish large enough to need it. Just wait until next trip

Amazon Customer : High Quality

First use, got my money’s worth!
