Questions about Wakeman Fishing Retractable Rubber Landing Net - 35 Inch Handle
Q:
what is diameter of holes in net
Answer: They are small like the same as any other net you would use to net large fish. It won’t work for netting minnows. I would say 1 inch by 1 inch
Q:
Is this good for catching frogs, bull frogs in particular? Thanks
Answer: it is a very deep fishing net, yet I think it would be good for catching frogs
Answer: We haven't used it for that, but I think it would work fine. The handle isn't really long, so you have to be able to get pretty close.
Answer: It may be but you would have to scare them into it. It is so big that it would be hard to swing quickly.
Q:
Would the classic net work for catching blue crab? Is the rubber netting strong enough to prevent the crabs from just snapping it with their claws?
Answer: Funny you should ask! Last weekend my husband use it for just that. He was chicken neck crabbing and I didn't see anything wrong with the net... And believe if there was he would have said so.
Q:
How long is it collapsed ?
Answer: Approximately 4 feet long
Answer: Whatever length of pole is. 2.5-3 feet. It’s an awesome net. Hooks don’t get caught up. I’ve landed a lot of fish with it. Rubber is great.
Answer: About 20”
Answer: Probably about 2’
Q:
Anyone use this bad boy to catch chickens??? Fast little bastards.
Answer: Don't think so, they are to smart, won't even work when attached to a long pole. Catch them on their roost at night. Will work for rabbits when they are busy eating, (with extended pole).
Answer: Never used it for chickens but don't know why it wouldn't work.
Q:
D0 you sale spares for this landing nets
Answer: I don’t know. I just got it so haven’t tried to get a spare.
Q:
Is it adjustable or one length?
Answer: It is one length.
Answer: One length
Answer: Yes it adjust out to one length
Answer: It’s only one length while extended, still a great net especially if you fish from the bank or have a boat. Maybe to awkward for kayak fishing tho.
Answer: Only 1 length
Answer: It has an expandable handle but only clicks into one position.
Answer: Yes it is telescopic
Q:
why does it show two different nets in the add and reviews one nylon the otherubber, one has gold handle other has silver, onesoval other is triangle
Answer: Great question! They are different sizes - there are four available - so they have different shapes and nets on them. The one that I got is the 64" largest, which has a rubber net, gold handle and more of an oval head. I think the 54" has the silver handle and more rectangular head, and the round is one of the smaller ones. Click on each size option to see if it helps clarify the pictures and sizes. I'd also report it to Amazon that the description and pictures are confusing, so they can clean it up and make it easier to understand.
Answer: Tha gold handled net is heavy and net not large enough. Nylon would be a better choice.
Answer: it looks like only the 64" one has nylon netting, when you click on the size, it will tell you. i have the rubber net, it is great ,easy to release fish and doesnt hurt them.
Answer: The one I got is round, hold handle, and rubber. It’s nice and would buy again.
Q:
i just purchased this landing net, How are they coming up with 94" in length??
Answer: I purchase the classic which does not state 94", maybe you purchased a differnt one than the 94" one?
Answer: Horrible really tiny. Worst buy.
Answer: Its junk...
Q:
How much does it weigh?
Answer: It weighs about 1 pound
Answer: It's heavier than nylon nets but we'll worth it.
Answer: I would say it's <3 lbs
Q:
handle diameter?
Answer: 2”
Q:
Is this net too much for freshwater rainbow trout? Too heavy or too big?
Answer: This net is not heavy at all i was pleasantly surprised. Too big? I guess it depends on how big the trout are i think it will work great for you.
Answer: It's a pretty big net, I use it for cats and large lm bass from my boat.
Answer: Way too large. this is a boat net that is meant for much larger fish
Answer: I bought it for lake trout.
Q:
Are the hole sizes small or large?
Answer: This is a GREAT net! Holes are right at 1”. Rubberized mesh is hook proof and easy on the fish. I could easily fit a 10 pound bass in there (if I could ever catch one)!
Answer: They are hexagons, but about the size of a quarter. Awesome net. I love it. The rubber means no stray hooks caught in the net.
Answer: Large
Answer: not too big, would suffice for most fish.
Answer: Big enough to put your fingers and thumb through.
Q:
Is it safe for Saltwater?
Answer: I would of said yes as of last week. But now no the puch bottom for the net to collapse broke. It turns out it had corroded where it is attached to the handle. I always wash it when I come back from fishing. I now just put a stainless steel bolt and nut through the handle.
Answer: Yes I use it in the ocean. Simply rinse it at end of day
Answer: I really am not sure but I would say yes, it is just rubber and aluminum. Should stand up well
Answer: Yes
Q:
What model is best for Kayak Fishing?
Answer: The one I got is quite large; for kayak, I would go with smallest one. Using mine on 16' bass boat, and even though handle is retractable, it's huge.
Q:
what is diameter of holes in netting ?
Answer: They are a six sided hexagon opening. If you can picture it, the side with the 60 degree angle is one inch between the apexes. The side with the flat sides is one half inch between the parallel sides. If it were round instead of a hexagon is would be an oval, one inch long and one half inch wide.
Answer: 1/2 to 3/4 inch
Answer: about 1/2 inch I think
Q:
Do they just sell the head, not the extension pole hanadle??
Answer: You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing…
Answer: No they don't as far as I know. The net works great for fishing crank bait type lures. The treble hooks don't get caught in the net at all
Answer: Come with the whole set up, net an handle
Q:
What is the outside diameter of the handle?
Answer: 2”.
Q:
Will this float in the water?
Answer: yes
Q:
Can this be good for the big wahoos and tuna
Answer: Yes...not 40 pounders..but anything under it will do fine.
Answer: No much too small. Works great on Redfish and Speckled Trout.
Q:
any in stock
Q:
Would this work standing in a river or stream?
Answer: Yes it would.... decent Net for sure and not to long for your purposes'
Q:
How much weight would be too much? Would this net be strong enough to pull up a turtle with a bunch of heavy, wet muck?
Answer: Don't think so. Handle is kind of flimsy. Also, if you are trying to catch something moving good luck, the net does not pull through the water easily.
Answer: I believe it would be strong enough. we use it for walleye fishing with fish flopping around 6-8 pounds easily.
Q:
Strange question, will this work to catch a feral cat ? Shes very wild, is wise to cat traps and will not go in . I want to get her spayed, then relea
Answer: If you can’t catch the cat in a trap because “it’s too smart” what leads you to believe your agile enough to scoop it up with a fish net?
Answer: I suppose it would work it's certainly big enough, good luck.
Answer: It's possible. It's a huge net. Very sturdy, thick rubber
Answer: Yes if you’re quick enough
Answer: No
Answer: Yeah
Q:
any in stock
Q:
The pictures show three different nets and the size in the pics don't match the wording in the description. Which net and what size would I be gettin
Answer: They are all approximately the same size
Q:
What is the diameter of the handle at the grip and at the bare metal? I need to see if it will fit the pole holder on my jet ski fishing rack.
Answer: 3/4" at the handle, 1/2" at the metal. The net is 8" wide and the whole thing is 24.5" long.
Q:
How wide is it from side to side ?
Answer: About 19". Have not used it yet, but it looks to be a quality item.
Q:
Is this big enough to net fish like walleye and northern pike?
Answer: Yes, you just have to pick the betted fish up with the net held vertically , not horizontally. If not a heavier fish will break the net where the loop connects to the handle!!
Answer: Yes, No problem
Answer: yes
Q:
Would like to leave this net on my pier all spring, summer and fall. . Can she take the sun? Thanks!
Answer: The nets are great and took lots of abuse from lots of kids under age 5 but they always got put away at the end of the day. They stood up to bullfrogs, lots of sand and a few toys. Might last outside around the clock, handles are pretty sturdy too. Good luck.
Answer: It's a heavy rubber mesh. Seems to be a nice item, but I would ask your question to Wakeman re weather and sun degradation.
Answer: We leave ours out all summer-no problem so far-had 1 season only
Q:
Will thin. Net work for king salmon 20 to 30 pounds from my boat
Answer: If it will manage a 15# bass I suspect it will haul out a 20 pound fish alright. 30#s I'm not sure.
Answer: Not sure, have not used net yet,may be small for a 20 lb fish.
Q:
Does this have a replacement net?
Answer: I don't know!, As cheap as the unit is If you were to try to get a replacement from the manufacturer I would imagine it will cost you the same as the whole assembly with shipping.
Answer: It does not come with a replacement
Answer: It doesn’t come with a replacement but it is very strong. It would be hard to break.
Answer: I would imagine so. Email Wakeman with the model number and they will tell you. I have not used mine yet, but it looks pretty rugged in the original.
Q:
Is there a fish net with larger holes?
Answer: Bo
Q:
Will this net work to catch game birds out of a bird pen?
Answer: I think it will do fine.Plus the coating on the net will not cutting.
Q:
Are all styles the rubber netting?
Answer: The net is TINY.. very very small..
Product reviews of Wakeman Fishing Retractable Rubber Landing Net - 35 Inch Handle
Huntnlady : Great Net
I'll never buy a string fishing net again! This one did not cost much more than a cheap Walmart net, and it works 10 times better. Thanks for this net.
Del : Nicer and larger than I was expecting
I haven't netted a fish with it yet but it looks really nice. It's actually nicer and larger than I was expecting. I have a similar net I've used for years. The piping holding the net finally broke. I wanted a similar type rubbery net that would not fowl treble hooks and was gentle on the fish. This seemed a close replacement. However, it looks nicer and a few inches wider than my old net. Once I net a few fish, I'll update, but for now I am very pleased.
Jrss : It's a net!
Seems solid. I was looking for a rubberized net , and this is that. You want to go fishing? You thing you might need a net? This will make sure your needs are covered.
Craig B : Works well for cats up to 10lbs
We have been landing 5 to 8 pound cats with no problems. Never has a hook been caught up in the net. Wish it was a little easier to engage the ball locking mechanism into the loop.. other than that..i would buy again
Steve McKim : Works
lot less tangleing than old nets
Gaynell F Sanchez : Light weight,Sturdiness and durability,,Great price.
My husband bought one when he first bought his boat in 2006. He wanted another, loves it..
Jason : i lost it on my 3rd trip out when it went over boardand sank like a rock
With all this net is, it does not float. i lost it on my 3rd trip out when it went over boardand sank like a rock. I would however buy again but buyer be ware, seal up both ends of the shaft and or fill with foam so you dont lose it.
Justine LaPlant : Great If you use it for what it was designed for.
This is a great fishing net. I got it because I often fish from a deep V boat and need some extra reach. This net works perfectly and doesn't harm the fish nearly as much as a normal net would. It works perfectly for medium sized fresh water fish (Bass, Walleye, Pike, etc.). I would NOT recommend this net for anything much bigger such as Lake Trout, Salmon, or anything bigger simply because its not nearly long enough and there's that chance that it could bend from too much weight. Use it for fish under about 15 pounds and you won't be disappointed!
Nicole Gray : You get what you pay for
The net had a hole in it right out of the box! How does that happen? No quality checks? Anyway it felt wicked cheap. I returned and bought a Bubba which will be the last net I buy. It’s unbelievably well made. So it’s a little pricey but its built incredible
Nancy E. Bickford : just what my grandson needed
I like that the handle is telescoping which makes it easier to carry. Perfect for my grandson who fishes from the shore. Would also work well in a boat. Well made and handy.

VP : Rubberized net is amazing. No more flies/hooks becoming ensnared (with the fish) ...
Wow! Rubberized net is amazing. No more flies/hooks becoming ensnared (with the fish) in a net. Large enough to quickly scoop up every fish we caught today. NEVER once did we have any trouble with those flies/hooks as we always did before with the usual nylon netting. Great product!
Brian castleton : 1 fish folded the net
We netted 1 salmon about 18lbs and the net folded in two like a pretzel. Buy a sturdy net. This thing is cheep and costed us a fish. Had to run to the tackle store mid fishing trip and buy another net. JUNK!
Debbo : We haven't used it yet .
Seems like it will be a better bet. Bought because the net is rubber and the hooks are not supposed to get stuck in the net.

J : Mediocre at best
The net looks nice and isn’t too heavy, but it has no stopper to prevent the handle from sliding all the way out, so while you’re getting ready to net a fish the end of it will fall off as you try to extend it.
Afugazifan : You won't be dissapointed
Extremely happy with this net. The quality is top notch. The net material feels just like the high dollar nets at the big outdoor stores. The handle is well built and the way it slides in to reduce the overall size, while minimal, is very helpful. I plan on putting this net to the test in both salt and fresh water. I'll provide updates to this review once it's been subjected to some abuse.
Jason Lange : It feels cheap
I haven't used it yet, but right out of the box I felt like it was made of recycled soda cans. The rubber net feels nice and sturdy, but the pole feels super weak. It's very lightweight which will make it easy to use. I'm just very concerned about the quality of the build. I'll update more after I use it.

Tom : Works Well in my Koi Pond
Occasionally one of the Koi fish succumbs to a problem. In the past I have used to use two smaller nylon nets to help remove a fish that died. But both were needed due to the size and weight of the fish. Recently one of my old nets broke due to the age of the netting. These Koi are well over 22 inches long, and are heavy. One of the 15 year old fish recently developed a problem and I was treating the water to help it survive. But I knew I would need a new net to help reach the bottom of the pond if the fish died. No sooner than this Wakeman Fishing Retractor landing net arrived, the fish in trouble was motionless at the bottom of the pond. Fearing it had parasites, I used the remaining old net to maneuver the non-moving fish through some rocks, and into the large opening of the Wakeman rubber net. Much easier than trying to use two smaller nets to do the extraction. The new net is sturdy and I was easily able to remove the fish.

Allan H. : Great priced net
Much larger than expected, I’m a size 12 shoe and practically my entire leg fits in this thing. I would probably be able to fit my 5 year old in this net. Feels sturdy.
john hill : It also makes it easy to keep your hooks form getting stuck in the ...
This net is a large opening. The net is rubber coating witch help protect the fish. It also makes it easy to keep your hooks form getting stuck in the net.
JM76 : Great net!
Tested it out yesterday, worked out perfectly in my canoe. Seems a little heavy but not a deal breaker. For the money, terrific net. We'll see how it holds up!
wile e. coyote : Large and durable
Net is made of durable rubber. Nice large opening and great overall design. Sturdy.

Joan R Smith : Sturdy and lightweight!
Sturdy and lightweight!
Bootsie : Durable for removing leaves from coy pond
I bought this net to clean leaves and other debris from my back yard coy pond. Wet leaves are very heavy and smelly. This net is lightweight to use, but the handle is smooth and strong, and the rubberized net is strong enough to lift several pounds of leaves in one swipe and holes are the right size to let water through (to make it lighter to lift) but to hold the leaves. Looks durable.
Afugazifan : You won't be dissapointed

robert waugaman : Nice net
Replaced an old style net that the lures would get severely tangled. The rubber net was a great improvement. Perfect size and price was low. First time using it, we had 4 walleye on at the same time. We landed them all and had no trouble getting the lures and fish out of the net. Would recommend to anyone who still has an nylon net in their boat.
bloodymac : Great net
Best net for the price - don't waste time or money getting ripped off at Academy - get this net - it doesn't float, due to design of holes in metal that allow water to penetrate, but it will give you a second or two to gather it back if it were to fall.
carlos lira : Fish on
I was to cheap to buy one of these but I regret not buying it a long time agom I wasted so many hours on the old green nets fighting the hooks getting stuck. With this net you don't have that issue. Do yourself a favor, if you don't have this already get it.

Catherine Thompson : Great fishing net
This net works great for landing those big catches! The telescoping handle makes it fit great in our boat. The rubber netting prevents hooks from getting tangled, which is so important! The large sized net works great for bringing in those large fish with ease.
Afugazifan : You won't be dissapointed

NInedogs : Good Net / Slim Handle
I already had two big nets, but my wife has problems holding the handles while netting fish because of the size of the handles. This net has a slim handle and is easy for her to use.
Hendythehalfwit : Awesome net
The quality and price are unmatched as far as I'm concerned. I've used this several times already to net fish this year and I'm glad I had it. The size is a little daunting at first, but if you're like me you'll soon realize that anything smaller just wouldn't do. Cuz, Ya know, I catch big fish
dixon : Great value. I would buy again.
I needed a net and after searching I chose this net due to previous reviews. After about a month and 20-30 uses I decided to share my experience here. I have netted and brought in striper and cats up to 25lbs using the handle no problems. Last night (June 20th) I finally got to test the net with a 40lb blue cat here in North Carolina. My friend was netting for me and once in the net brought it to the boat. Neither of us thought we could get the cat in using the handle so we grabbed the edges and hauled it over the side of the skiff. The net held. We had both thought the 35" cat wouldn't fit in the net at first and it did! then it held as we brought it into the boat. Plus the benefit of the rubber netting so that hooks do not catch is a bonus. Much bigger of a fish I would have used a gaf but I wanted to test the net for when I am fishing alone.
Buy this. Its durable and worth it. If the net broke on the 40lb cat I would have bought another one this morning.
David B. : Great Net
its going to land the big ones that seem to slip off when landing... like the fact that the net is rubber... should stop the hooks from getting snagged!
Jason Lange : It feels cheap
I haven't used it yet, but right out of the box I felt like it was made of recycled soda cans. The rubber net feels nice and sturdy, but the pole feels super weak. It's very lightweight which will make it easy to use. I'm just very concerned about the quality of the build. I'll update more after I use it.
J Boyd : A must for fishing!!
Great net!!!!
TA : No more tangles!
Love this net. No more tangles. Much higher quality and supports much more weight/great stability, much better than what I was expecting for the price
Shanon E. : Terrific first impression!
I opened up the box and my husband rolled his eyes. I told him how much I hate the old net that catches on things in the boat locker, and on the fishing deck. What could he say. He sighed. Ha!
Very nice rubber fishing net. I like how it doesn't tangle back up on itself like a regular old net! No more catching a treble hook and getting frustrated untangling it. The bottom is flat and MUCH wider than I realized/expected. It will easily net a 12 pound bass or something larger. It should be easier to pull/swim a fish into without it freaking out as much. After catching smallmouth bass last weekend I realize how anxious/aggressive they can get compared to largemouth bass - this should help. Don't even have to take the small ones into the boat - just unhook them in the net and release with EASE. The handle telescopes out to a perfect length for freshwater fishing off a bass boat. I'll come back and review it after we use it a few times to discuss how well it helps us net a fish and how we like the the balance and weight of it. As well as its strength. My only concern right now is the rubber has a lot of 'give.' Hope it doesn't stretch out where it's attached to the frame - I have no guess either way. Four stars now and I'll review and discuss outcomes this summer.
Update. Still like it BUT IT DOESNT FIT IN OUR Nitro Bass Boat regular size lockers on our 21' boat. Argh.

matt : Great product, great price
I have landed well over 200 fish with this net, a 14 lb northern being the biggest so far, with no problems. Its pretty lightweight for a rubber net and easy to maneuver in the water. The hooks are alwayseasy to remove and no sign of corrosion or rot.
