Questions about PLUSINNO Fishing Net Fish Landing Net, Foldable Collapsible Telescopic Pole Handle, Durable Nylon Material Mesh, Safe Fish Catching or Releasing
Q:
Would the net work for catching yard chickens when they escape?
Answer: OK for small chickens. But I'm afraid it is a little bit tiny for heavy chickens.
Answer: Yes, that is what I use it for. It is perfect for that.
Q:
How to fold once opened?
Answer: 1.Push the botten downside.
Answer: We own a VERY similar model, and figured out we had to slightly telescope the handle out a bit to be able to pull the lock down enough to be able to fold the net arms up and collapse them.
Q:
Would this be able to be used to net salmon up in paluski ny? they vary from 15-30 lbs there.
Answer: no, not big enough nets and not strong enough
Answer: No, not big enough. I've fished in Pulaski for 30 years.
Q:
Is net good for crabbing?
Answer: I can see no reason why not. It's not a huge net, so Alaskan King Crab would be out of the question ???? but it would be fine for any crab I've seen pulled from a jetty!
Q:
Does the net float in the water?
Answer: Yes, the net is rather lightweight.
Answer: Just lost mine 3 days ago...It sinks like rock, You need to add a bright Florissant float to the end or a 3 to 4" colorful piece of foam around handle part.
Answer: LOL.. how "light" something is has nothing to do with if it floats? How "light" is a battleship? It floats.. It has to do with the objects buoyancy.
Answer: Probably since it is fairly light.
Q:
Does anyone know how much weight it can handle?
Answer: I ordered this because a reviewer stated it could handle a 25 - 40 lb catfish which is what I fish for. This net is 12" at the widest point and10" long. Only 9" deep. No possible way a 20 - 40 lb catfish even fits in this net.
Answer: I used the net the other day for 25-40 lb catfish and it worked great with no problems.
Q:
Can this be used to catch butterflies?
Answer: I'm afraid this is little bit heavy and big for catching butterflies.
Q:
What is the total carrying weight?
Answer: About 10lb dear.
Q:
Would the holes be too big to dip minnows?
Answer: I think the holes are too big.
Answer: It would work for smelts or minnows.
Q:
How long is it?
Answer: The smaller one is 27.5inch and the larger one is 31.5-38inch.
Answer: About three feet I would spend the extra money and get a longer handle
Q:
Is there a replacement net for this one i had a big trout bust threw the side of mine
Answer: Google the company and send a contact message, the customer service is good I hear ...
Q:
When will you guys have the 23.5" one in stock again?
Answer: Hello Christina, there is one left and you can order. Please check it out.
Q:
can you land 40 pounds or bigger with this?
Answer: Its not that big ...so no I would say 15 pounds at best
Q:
Is this net trout safe?
Answer: I see no reason it couldn't be used for trout, I plan to use it for speckled trout and fish up to about 10lbs.
Q:
Will it rust? Need a salt water bait net!
Answer: Should be fine for that. Everything is painted or plastic.
Q:
When will you guys have the 23.5" in stock?
Answer: July 20
Q:
cat retrieving net
Answer: I don't know if they sell nets to retrieve cats; only fish.
Q:
Is this safe for catch and release, will the netting harm the fish scales?
Answer: I use mine for catch and release for trout and seems to work out just fine.
Q:
How many feet is the fishing net
Answer: I believe it is 5 feet
Q:
Before folding: How wide is net at far end away from handle?
Answer: 13 to 15 inches.
Q:
Would this net be good for toothy fish? Want it mostly for Mackerel
Answer: Honestly I do not know for sure. We have only used it for bass and catfish in our area.
Q:
how far can the handle extend
Answer: About 7''.
Q:
What is the length when it is folded down?
Answer: 17 inches length and wide 4 I hope this helps.
Answer: 17"
Q:
How much do hooks get stuck in it? Im looking for a canoe net where hooks dont get stuck
Answer: I think there's a distinction between hooks getting hooked on the net and stuck in the net. Almost every net, this one included, will have hooks getting hooked on the net. But they are easily removed and the barbs don't get stuck. The meshing is thick strips of plastic. The bad situation, which this doesn't have, is barbs getting stuck into the net. Been using this for a month straight and it's a great net.
Answer: I've had nylon netting landing nets and this rubber mesh net is so much better. Not completely hook free (no net is) but very nice, I love mine
Answer: I haven't had a hook get stuck yet. Not sure if they make a net that will never get hooked.
Q:
Is the mesh on this net fine enough to catch minnows?
Answer: Not if they were tiny, 1/4 inch would more than likely slip through the holes.
Answer: YES
Q:
Could someone tell me the size of mesh diameter?
Q:
Will this float?
Answer: No
Q:
How long is the 16" model when fully collapsed and folded? I'd like to know if it will fit fully inside of my backpack.
Answer: I don’t have it handy to measure but it does fit inside my backpack folded up (and my pack is not oversized).
Answer: It's nice and compact at 17"x4" -- very packable.
Q:
are the lengths shown with the net unfolded or just the length of the handles? and on the telescopic can it be locked in any length?
Answer: The picture shows the handle at full extention dut it can be locked at any length down to about half. I use that when I'm alone for one handed netting.
Answer: Yes, lengths shown in the top 2 photos are with the net unfolded. the bottom photo is what it looks like folded up.
Q:
Will skate or stingray fit?
Answer: No
Q:
Does this net float?
Answer: Yes but just to be sure add a small price of pool noodle to handle. But I don't think you need it
Q:
Can I use this for a frog??
Answer: Sure we caught small gold fish and a couple of frogs.
Q:
Will this net work for salmon/steelhead?
Answer: I don't think it would hold up well in the long run because of the weight of salmon and this being a collapsible net. It has been working well so far with snook and reds. Don't know for sure what weight stress level is.
Q:
Hi, what is the diameter of a mesh?
Answer: Hello, The mesh diameter is about 5mm.
Q:
has anyone used this for crabbinb?
Answer: We only used it for fish so I can't say about crabs. We really like it though. I can not say anything bad about it. Very pleased with it.
Q:
Will this handle catching live 5 lb chickens or 30 lb turkeys???
Answer: I wouldn’t recommend it for that. Use a standard non-folding net, especially if it’s for repeated use. I’ve already had to re-glue the handle on this one after fishing with it twice.
Q:
How long is the handle when it is extended?
Answer: Around 4 feet I think.
Q:
Is it good for large walleyes
Answer: It might be too big if it's 12" or larger

Q:
Is product returnable
Answer: If its within the return window yes. Amazon does that with almost everything
Q:
Is it good for bass fishing ?
Answer: Yes, it can be used for bass fishing. I have used it and it's held up well.
Answer: Yes, I use it for Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Stripped Bass; it works great.
Answer: Yes. I use mine mostly for trout. I've netted trout over 4 pounds and I would imagine it could handle up to 10 pounds or more.
Q:
I'm seeing that there is a 23.5". When will it be in stock again?
Answer: Don’t know I am just a customer.
Q:
Does it float
Answer: Wish I could answer your question, but I haven't tried that out yet.
Q:
Will it hold more than one bass
Answer: Yes
Q:
Is this net DIY replaceable?

Product reviews of PLUSINNO Fishing Net Fish Landing Net, Foldable Collapsible Telescopic Pole Handle, Durable Nylon Material Mesh, Safe Fish Catching or Releasing
MK : Piece of Junk
You get what you pay for. This is a neat idea but horrible product. On the 5th fish, the handle came off. Lost the fish, and the net sunk like a rock. Nothing but the handle left. Embarrassing piece of crap. DO NOT BUY THIS NET UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! IT IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF! SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL TO SELL THIS THING!
Edward Martinez : Fast and compact
Plusinno fishing net... What a great net. It’s so compact you hardly even know you have it. I enjoy having this net I’ve honestly caught 2 of my biggest catches it held to its potential. Light weight hook free and easy to use. Here are the fish I catch using this net. Wild trout 13 1/2” and a 24” Pike Minnow.
D0m : Great value but lacks sturdiness
Initially, I was really excited to get this, for being an avid angler I was pumped to have an affordable, collapsible large net I could carry. I do a lot snake head and striper fishing from waders and also planned to use this to catch baitfish for catfishing. Unfortunately, it now sits in the corner of my garage occasionally seeing the daylight when I go baitfish netting and also to check my crayfish / craw dad traps.
I’m only saying this because Every fish encounter I had with this net was a struggle. The net would collapse under the thrashing of the fish making it a complete cluster. (It would pop out of the mechanism that holds it open) Between wading using this and also utilizing it in a kayak I soon gave in because this net really isn’t designed for larger fish. It’s great for the kids and smaller fish species such as trout, panfish, crappie, bass (smallmouth and largemouth under 4 pounds). If there is any possibility you might catch a large fish, grab another net, I don’t trust it.. learned that from personal experience.
Overall the value is great, the netting is plastic coated making hook removal a breeze, and the netting is small enough for your kids/grandkids/nephews/nieces etc to catch all the small little fish swimming between your toes.
Cody : Cheaply Made - Likely Won't Last
Right out of the box the folding mechanism on this net didn't work. I had to adjust the tightness of the screws to get the net to lock into place when fully extended. The entire lock mechanism is cheap plastic. It won't rust, but also probably won't last. I wouldn't expect to get more than 2 seasons out of this net.
Bill : Very good compact net
It's a good net for specific use like bringing in a heavy fish.
Pros: Collapsible Fairly large (if that's good for you) Nice waterproof mesh (not cotton or braid that absorbs and gets smelly) Rust Proof
Cons: Very bulky when open, does not move well through water but this is common with most moderns nets now.
For pulling in fish it's good. Its also very easily portable which is nice. Customer service has been fanastic!
Amazon Customer : Sturdiness and quality.
I lost my personal best one morning because i didn't have a net and couldn't get my hands in the largemouths mouth fast enough, I would guess 7lbs, made me sick and vowed to never do that again and invest in a net. Honestly I was just expecting a flimsy net when I bought this but its actually pretty darn sturdy and a great value for the money. Its strong, the netting doesn't feel cheap and collapses easily and fits into all my boat storage areas.
patches22 : Loved it, at first.
Bought it on sale, good price. Fast delivery. Was unable to use before the return date expired. Functioned great for two trips to the lake approximately 8 hours. So that’s unfold 1 time, fold 1 time breaks on the 2nd unfold. The middle tightening nut locked up and the handle fell off. WOW!!! Looks are definitely deceiving on this one. Will not be replacing it with another of the same unless it is at no cost to me. Maybe I got a lemon? But not spending another dollar to find out. At least I was able to use it once after it broke to snag some bait, NOT what I bought it for, but “lemons to lemonade” I guess.
Taylor Pittman : Good but breakabke
This net is good but it broke where the slams were glued on my first trip out, did not catch anything bigger than 5 pounds and kept hearing pops I assumed it was the weight hitting against the net but turns out it was the glue comming loose. Going to contact seller and will update as necessary
Work and play : Sturdy and smart design.
Favorite net by far. Love how the design allows it to fold so compactly without compromising its sturdiness. I slide it in my backpack. Caught a 60 lb ray and while the other aluminum net bent and ultimately snapped (we needed two nets to bring it in), this net held firm. The net itself is well made and strong. Opening is definitely wide enough for most fish. Light enough to carry on hiking trips. Highly recommend it.
uptownHBG : Lots of pluses!!!
Pluses: - Similar silicon covered nets at Walmart or Bass Pro start at $100 -It floats in saltwater!!! Handle upward a few inches above the water! (don't ask me how I know.) -It folds easily, nicely -easy to store -Love the triangular shape of the net -the metal is covered so it won't rust immediately -It did not damage the fish - no getting stuck, no loss of slime
Wish list: -I would recommend maybe more floatation to the handle and maybe doing it in a fluorescent color
Trey Hankins : Solid, collapsible product
I received this by (my son) participating in their power user program. Have only been able to get out once because the weather, but the concept of this is what he needed. Something small that golds up and can be easily carried/attached to his fishing backpack. The one day we got out there, he had no luck. But you can tell the net itself is going to be just what he needs when he needs it.
Tony : Study and compact!
The 12" landing net is great for pond fishing! I tried to get a bigger fish to truly test the strength, but they weren't biting today. The netting material is very sturdy and designed so your hook does not catch. It folds up to a nice compact size and is very durable! I would recommend this as a landing net, however the telescoping larger sizes would work better for bigger bodies of water. Edit: I snagged a decent catfish and the net performed very well! I was able to use the net effectively and it easily handled the weight.
Amazon Customer : Nice little net
I like the ease of use. I like the fold up to put in back pack or fishing pack. A little flimsy but will work fine. Made for medium sized fish and not something big like a salmon. Looks good to about 20" trout.
Manolorossi : Very lightweight, easy to unfold with one hand
The net is very lightweight, much more so than I expected. It can be easily snapped into open position with one hand, important when preparing to land a fish. At least I usually keep it folded until I hook up. The folding mechanism is plastic, but seems sturdy enough for a net of this size. Time will tell how well it ages... I got it as an intermediate, when the fly fishing net is just a bit to short to easily land a fish on a bank, but I don't want to carry around my monster net.
poppamon : My go to net
I love the portability and lightweight of this net. I keep a collapsible rod and this net in my backpack every time I go fishing. I have only landed a few decent sized bream with the net, and due to the small size, doubt it is compatible with too large of fish, but for landing small fish to avoid pulling them out of the water by line (and risking losing them), I cant imagine a better net. I do not kayak fish, but I believe this net would excel in this field as well.
Scott Wells : Great high-capacity folding, telescopic landing net
I had already been using one of Plusinno's other foldable landing nets from my kayak, and it's worked very well for me. I found, though, that I also could use one when fishing from piers and other elevated positions where the elevation not only risks losing the fish, but more importantly puts undue stress on larger fish due to their weight pulling against the hook while being lifted.
I purchased this net to help with that situation and put it to good use today. My son and I met a friend at a local catch-and-release pond and, between the three of us, we were able to land about 20 fish of various species...large mouth bass, blue cats, perch, and crappie. Some of the bass and all of the cats were large enough that the net proved extremely useful, especially since the blue cats have spines in their dorsal and pectoral fins.
This net is a nice piece of engineering. It has a very compact footprint when folded but expands to a very high volume when unfolded. It's also pleasantly stable and rigid unlike some other nets which feel like they're ready to fold again. The telescopic handle is great for when you're several feet above or otherwise away from the water. The coarse-grained mesh is made out of thick, sturdy plastic such that it doesn't get tangled in the line or the fish too badly. I've used more fine-grained nets that sometimes have to be cut to extract a fish safely.
I strongly recommend this net to anyone looking for a way to land their fish in a manner that's better for both the fisher and the fish.
Andrew Kim : Great net for the price!
I really enjoyed this net. I’ve netted a lot of trout, sauger, walleye, and striper in it. It’s pretty easy to use and I like that you can adjust the handle! This is definitely worth the price! I unfortunately left it on the bank while I was wading and someone took it. I’ll probably get one again in the future
Amazon Customer : The net material is mostly hook-proof
I have been using the 12" net for a few weeks now. It is large enough to capture any fish that I will realistically be catching in my area. I am a fly fisherman and sometimes a bass fisherman.
I like that the net folds up. I usually carry it extended when I'm fishing, but it is nice to fold it back up for storage in a pocket of my backpack when hiking in or when it is packed in my car.
The net material is mostly hook-proof. 100% rubber nets are better for keeping your hooks from getting snagged, but that type of rubber is more stiff and is probably not compatible with this folding design. Usually you only find that type of net material on very small fly fishing nets, or long handled landing nets that aren't really meant for someone who is walking around a lot.
This is a good multi-purpose net.
FamilyDad : Nice fishing net.... which doesn't float. ;-)
Liked it during one time use with my Kayak, fish and hooks tangled in netting was quickly removable.... until it went overboard on kayak not able to retrieve on time. Learned my lesson that this doesnt float.... most fishing nets probably don't. But on my next purchase.... probably the shorter version I will attach a line to avoid accidental loss.
Jennifer : Surprisingly AMAZING!!
Wife got this for me as an early xmas gift. I used it on a day fishing trip yesterday. I have to admit i was a bit concerned about the strength of its lock when moving weight was in it. But i like to fish light, only what i can carry as i move around the lake.
The netting is rubberized, so it does not hold on to the smell as much as my nylon net does. A quick rinse at the end of the day and your good. The handle has a nice padding, and the shaft is carbon fiber. Overall a nice strong feel.
I keep this clipped on the back of my belt and flip it out when needed. You can do this one handed, the action is smooth enough for just a flick of the wrist. The lock is spring loaded, so it locks automatically when extended. You don't have to take both hands off the pole to get it out and ready.
Final thoughts so far. trout season is no issue, grabbed up to just over 2 lb fish, and had no issues holding ever the bigger fighters. Not sure how it will hold up to larger fish like bass. But i now have no fears that it will hold up. Im not sure the max weight, but the size when open is large enough to grab a nice size fish. GREAT NET!! I would buy for any fisherman in your life.
Tyrone S. Powers : Not well made!
Took this fishing in Canada. Handle fell apart first day of use. Left it there for kids to use off dock.
Amazon Customer : Sturdiness and quality.
I lost my personal best one morning because i didn't have a net and couldn't get my hands in the largemouths mouth fast enough, I would guess 7lbs, made me sick and vowed to never do that again and invest in a net.

Amazon Customer : Broke first day of use
Was excited to get this net to save space on the boat, but it broke on the first day using it (fishing in saltwater). Was lucky enough to land a few fish with it, but it broke when I tried to extend it all the way out. I was not being rough with it, just went to extend it and the poles separated. Will just suck it up and get a standard non-collapsible net for future use.

Liked it during one time use with my Kayak, fish and hooks tangled in netting was quickly removable.... until it went overboard on kayak not able to retrieve on time.

Mystery : work out each movable part before going fishing!
This net is pretty close to your all around type fish net. Deep enough net to take on a nice albacore, with the pole able to reach out and grab that salmon too. Yet, capable of taking it on the fly fishing trip to. not very sturdy tighteners, there should be an easier way to loosen each of them, as over tightening is still an issue.
Randall palmer : Same Product, Less Than Half The Price?
I have been looking at rubber netted, stowable dip nets for a while. While most are overpriced, this one compares on every level! I think it could probably fit in my glovebox, yet it unfolds for a fantastic large panfish size net. Wayding the shallows, it has a very durable pocket clip so its not dangling on a string bouncing off your legs like most of the others. I haven't abused it, but it seems as though this will last me several years of weekly fishing! Thanks Plusinno!!
MK : Piece of Junk

roger25c : Well made landing net.
I am really looking forward to using this net this spring when I go fishing. It has a great feel to it as well as nice features.
Fishing With The Oz : Great Net For Kayak Fishing
I really like that this net is telescopic so you can adjust the length you need. And that the net folds easily for storage. I ordered the 17" hoop size and wondering if the larger one may have served me better in the long run but this size is working well for me so far. It does not float so I wrapped a piece of cheap pipe insulation foam on the handle to make it a floating net. I was not paid for this review nor did I receive this product for free.
Colton Bachman : Well designed and good materials
This is actually a pretty well-made product. The netting is actually the rubber / nylon coated material that does a much better job of preventing hooks from getting snagged up in the net like traditional nets do. I've never seen a collapsible net with that material in it. The net folds and locks in place smoothly and is lightweight. I got the small net as part of a trial for product review and will likely wind up buying the telescoping net for use when kayak fishing
Tipzeetoezz : Awesome net! It worked
Awesome net! It worked, as described, in the advertisement. It collapses and extends easily. It's very sturdy. The best part of all, fish and lures are easily removed from the net. This is not your typical fishing net. It is made of a thick, rubbery substance. Although, I purchased a smaller size that was available (ordered last minute, to use on a Canadian fishing trip. The larger size was on back order) It accommodated 23'-32' Walleye without a problem. Fish and lures with treble hooks never got stuck or entangled in the net. I highly recommend this product!
Micah Elliot : A Great Fisherman's Companion!
I purchased the foldable Plusinno fishing net, and it's proven to be one of my most important go-to fishing tools in the kit. The unique compact folding design is one of the most innovative ideas I've ever seen in a fishing tool. The handy clip strategically placed makes unfolding and swinging into action an absolute breeze. I purchased this along with their telescopic pole set, and the mobile readiness of fishing anywhere at anytime is constantly locked and loaded. I absolutely love this portable fishing net, and would recommend it to any angler from novice to pro.
Shawn H. : Huge space saver on the boat!
I am really about having my boat laid out for optimum fishing. The one thing that I was not able to find a good spot for was my fishing net. This net solved that problem. I love the sturdy construction, rubberized net, and small foot print of this net.
This would make a great gift for the fisherman in your life or a nice upgrade for yourself.
LIVIT : buy it
I've put some big Red drum and Stripers into my boat with this net. Never thought it would hold up. I live in sw SC and salt water fish a lot. If I ever loose it, will for sure buy another.
patches22 : Loved it, at first.
Bought it on sale, good price. Fast delivery. Was unable to use before the return date expired. Functioned great for two trips to the lake approximately 8 hours. So that’s unfold 1 time, fold 1 time breaks on the 2nd unfold. The middle tightening nut locked up and the handle fell off. WOW!!! Looks are definitely deceiving on this one. Will not be replacing it with another of the same unless it is at no cost to me. Maybe I got a lemon? But not spending another dollar to find out. At least I was able to use it once after it broke to snag some bait, NOT what I bought it for, but “lemons to lemonade” I guess.
Ralph L. : Terrific kayaking net
Great compact net. Works flawlessly for what I need it to do. One handed operation is a big thing compared to other nets, that way I can sturdy myself on the kayak, hold my pole with one hand and grab, extend, open and use the net all with the other.
Great compact size that won’t take up too much room while attached to my fishing bag. Couldn’t be happier about it. Sees like great quality that will last for years.
Jennifer : Surprisingly AMAZING!!
Wife got this for me as an early xmas gift. I used it on a day fishing trip yesterday. I have to admit i was a bit concerned about the strength of its lock when moving weight was in it. But i like to fish light, only what i can carry as i move around the lake.
The netting is rubberized, so it does not hold on to the smell as much as my nylon net does. A quick rinse at the end of the day and your good. The handle has a nice padding, and the shaft is carbon fiber. Overall a nice strong feel.
I keep this clipped on the back of my belt and flip it out when needed. You can do this one handed, the action is smooth enough for just a flick of the wrist. The lock is spring loaded, so it locks automatically when extended. You don't have to take both hands off the pole to get it out and ready.
Final thoughts so far. trout season is no issue, grabbed up to just over 2 lb fish, and had no issues holding ever the bigger fighters. Not sure how it will hold up to larger fish like bass. But i now have no fears that it will hold up. Im not sure the max weight, but the size when open is large enough to grab a nice size fish. GREAT NET!! I would buy for any fisherman in your life.
D0m : Great value but lacks sturdiness
Initially, I was really excited to get this, for being an avid angler I was pumped to have an affordable, collapsible large net I could carry. I do a lot snake head and striper fishing from waders and also planned to use this to catch baitfish for catfishing. Unfortunately, it now sits in the corner of my garage occasionally seeing the daylight when I go baitfish netting and also to check my crayfish / craw dad traps.
I’m only saying this because Every fish encounter I had with this net was a struggle. The net would collapse under the thrashing of the fish making it a complete cluster. (It would pop out of the mechanism that holds it open) Between wading using this and also utilizing it in a kayak I soon gave in because this net really isn’t designed for larger fish. It’s great for the kids and smaller fish species such as trout, panfish, crappie, bass (smallmouth and largemouth under 4 pounds). If there is any possibility you might catch a large fish, grab another net, I don’t trust it.. learned that from personal experience.
Overall the value is great, the netting is plastic coated making hook removal a breeze, and the netting is small enough for your kids/grandkids/nephews/nieces etc to catch all the small little fish swimming between your toes.
Tou : Functions well
this works great! Make sure to choose the correct option. I thought I had ordered the telescopic one, but just the standard one. No biggie I rigged it so it works well now. Don't go out kayak fishing without a net. I've lost too many fish trying to land bass, and senkos flying out their mouths . Having the net i get to take a picture with the fish and my senkos stay in on as well.
David Dickenson : Great to use but handle with care
This net is great for landing a fish. The extension allows for a better reach than a lot of other options. I also love the netting, which is fine enough that it allows me to scoop up minnows that have fallen in the water but are still usable.
Be careful, though. There are two parts that extend, and they unscrew to allow for extension and screw back to lock it in place. This configuration was slightly confusing at first, and I went to extend it when it was locked. I didn't think I pulled that hard, but part of the pole came loose, with the threaded part still screwed into the fitting. Fortunately I was able to use gorilla glue to put the pole back into the threaded piece. Once it dried I was able to unscrew it and now it is as good as new.
Great product, just be careful. I generally just leave each attachment point loosened at all times now to avoid doing the same thing again, and it works great.
consumer : Good quality with nice rubber mesh
I purchased this to catch my birds. I like the rubber mesh because it does not harm their feathers. I purchased the one with the short non-telescoping handle, and it works fine. I suppose if I ever need a longer handle, I can simply tape a longer handle onto it. Right now I find that I do not need it to be longer. I like the fact that it folds up so it's not in the way. I keep mine in my barn since that's where I use it. It's nice and compact and out of the way. Definitely recommend this product.
Angurt : Weak and cheap plastic
Fell apart first use. Very weak. Made out of very cheap plastic. Sending it back. One telescoping rod got stuck and one came off. It was just glued. The loop is held by two weak plastic lips. At the first use it bent over due to the resistance of just water. I usually do not spend much time for negative reviews but this one I was compelled to write. Don’t waste your time. Amazon needs to address paid reviews. There is no way this product would have more than 2 stars.
MK : Piece of Junk
You get what you pay for. This is a neat idea but horrible product. On the 5th fish, the handle came off. Lost the fish, and the net sunk like a rock. Nothing but the handle left. Embarrassing piece of crap. DO NOT BUY THIS NET UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! IT IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF! SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL TO SELL THIS THING!
Amazon Customer : Nice little net
I like the ease of use. I like the fold up to put in back pack or fishing pack. A little flimsy but will work fine. Made for medium sized fish and not something big like a salmon. Looks good to about 20" trout.
Amazon Customer : Thumbs up!
Overall this is a great net! I had a minor issue with closing it, however, it was no issue of the product it was me not knowing where or how to close. This thing helped me bring my snook to shore (catch and release of course). I don’t think it was made for the size or weight of the fish, however, it held up and still looks like it has many more uses ahead!
Micah Elliot : A Great Fisherman's Companion!
I purchased the foldable Plusinno fishing net, and it's proven to be one of my most important go-to fishing tools in the kit. The unique compact folding design is one of the most innovative ideas I've ever seen in a fishing tool. The handy clip strategically placed makes unfolding and swinging into action an absolute breeze. I purchased this along with their telescopic pole set, and the mobile readiness of fishing anywhere at anytime is constantly locked and loaded. I absolutely love this portable fishing net, and would recommend it to any angler from novice to pro.
Tj : Gets the job done.
When i first got this net i thought it might have been a little too small until i actually put it to the test. I usually catch 1-3 lb bass and they fit in the net perfectly, longer fish like pikes would probably require a wider net. So i would say that its good for small to medium sized fishing. I bought the 12 inch but wished i had bought the next size up, because its a little short for my kind of fishing. It still gets the job done though, very light, tough and easy to carry around because of its folding feature. So i am still happy with it and if i do decide to get a longer net, i would buy this type of net again. Definitely would recommend this net based on your needs.
Amazon Customer : The net material is mostly hook-proof
I have been using the 12" net for a few weeks now. It is large enough to capture any fish that I will realistically be catching in my area. I am a fly fisherman and sometimes a bass fisherman.
I like that the net folds up. I usually carry it extended when I'm fishing, but it is nice to fold it back up for storage in a pocket of my backpack when hiking in or when it is packed in my car.
The net material is mostly hook-proof. 100% rubber nets are better for keeping your hooks from getting snagged, but that type of rubber is more stiff and is probably not compatible with this folding design. Usually you only find that type of net material on very small fly fishing nets, or long handled landing nets that aren't really meant for someone who is walking around a lot.
This is a good multi-purpose net.
