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:

Answer: July 20
Q:
cat retrieving 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:

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

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.

Does it float
Answer: Wish I could answer your question, but I haven't tried that out yet.

Answer: Yes
Q:

Product reviews of PLUSINNO Fishing Net Fish Landing Net, Foldable Collapsible Telescopic Pole Handle, Durable Nylon Material Mesh, Safe Fish Catching or Releasing
Watson : Smaller than I thought
this was probably my fault for not looking at the dimensions more carefully but when this net arrived I was surprised at how small it was. We live on the gulf and use a net to haul in the bigger fish, which this net is way too small for. Just wanted to make others aware of this. It is more like for small lake fish. Overall it is a great net, sturdy and very well make, love the rubberized netting. It was just too small for my use.
Cody : Cool product
Came as expected works great. Cool that it folds down and can be stored easily
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.
Sean : Packable and safe for fish
Expands and collapses which is great for when I want to pack light on a fishing trip. The net is made out of very soft (maybe silicone) material which will not hurt the fish.
Karoline Ryan : Wow!!
Very light weight. Seems to be made of decent aluminum. Nice rubber grip on the end of the handle.easy to fold and locks into place on its own. Net is made from a rubberized material which, I hope lasts longer than the traditional netting. Has a belt clip on it to either connect to yourself or bag. Looks deep enough to land a decent size fish and should hold up to a good amount of weight.
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.
Amazon Customer : Great from a boat or from shore
This net works great either from my kayak or when wading. It holds big fish; it is reasonably light; it is easy to fold or unfold; and it is easy to remove hooks from the webbing. If I am not using my kayak, I like to hike in to my fishing spots. On longer hikes, I prefer to pack in my gear, and this net is really easy to pack in anywhere because it folds compactly.
One caveat: this net does not float (I lost one from my kayak), so I recommend a tether.
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
Peter : Large fishing net and easy to store!
Awesome fishing net, I was glad that I got this as it is portable and easy to storage in small location or even bring along. So far I haven't have any issues with this fishing net!
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.
PXX : Very versatile
Bought this for 6 year old grandson to play with and use while camping. He loves it and it is very sturdy. He uses it in water and sand.
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.
tai : DO NOT BUY
Worst thing you can ever buy on amazon for catching any kind of fish. The day I received it, I was so excited and went down to the cape for crabbing. I tried to scoop some small guppies in the water for the first time, let me tell you. I couldn’t catch any because the net was too heavy in the water and super slow. It also snapped, broke, and the skin of my finger got cut and stuck between the broken plastic. My day was ruin. Don’t waste your money, just go to your local fishing shop and get a decent fishing net and save your money.
Mr. Nef : Great net for the price
I ordered their largest size, and for my purposes it works great. Its lightweight, compact when folded, sturdy, and easily transportable. When the handle is extended... it does give it a LITTLE bit more reach. Its not super long, however, it will do just fine if you fishing in the bay, off some rocks, or even out on a boat. The only things I find a little curious is the mechanism that holds the net open when it is unfolded. As you can see by the picture, its just these 2 tabs that fit into the locking mechanism... and its plastic. Its a hard plastic... but plastic none the less. Overall great net for the price
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 : 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.
ronin : Basic sturdy fishing net
This is a pretty basic, no frills fishing net which does what it's supposed to. Collapses and stores easily and works well to help land that big catch that you don't want to flip. The spongy handle makes it easy to grasp even under wet conditions and also dries quickly. Nylon net seems plenty tough. All in all a good value for the price.
Jeffrey M Gavin : Great, but net can injure fish.
Near perfect besides two flaws. This net is great, compact, strong and light. A flaw is that if you get any sand or dirt in the twisting part of the handle, you will no longer be able to fully collapse it. Another flaw is that the small net holes make it very easy to catch on a fishes dorsal rays, or catfish spines and you will have to cut them out and likely injure the fish.
Josh Vue : OK, but you will need super glue
Just received this net today and it's already broken. The top part of the handle where you loosen/tighten to extend the handle broke. The glue didn't hold the threated portion to the base rod. I had to use super glue to reglue them together. Not sure if it will hold, but I'm still deciding if I want to keep it or return and try a new one. Additionally, the dimensions are not quite accurate. I ordered the 17" net, which was suppose to be 47.2 inches fully extended. It's only 44 inches fully extended.

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.
JANET TUCKER : Not telescoping
I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. He went to use it last weekend and it is not telescoping. It only "telescopes" a couple of inches. Description is totally misleading.
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.

JJ Johnson : Very easy to un-fold
When I first took the net out the locking mechanism was a little tight so it was difficult to open. I loosened the screw slightly and now I can flick it open with one hand. I feel it is a great size for my kayak. The handle is a little shorter than I would like, but this gives great leverage. I drilled a hole through the end and added a lanyard, just in case. I landed two of my biggest large mouth bass with it 19" - 21" each. Stores great on my kayak gear crate.
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!!
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
Chad : Nice net
Great net for the price. Way better made than I expected. Highly recommend for small boat.
Luhr Jensen : Excellent, compact and durable net!
I'm so glad I purchased this net. It surpasses the traditional trout net I was using for kayak fishing in every way. It folds and is compact which is great for a kayak fisherman. It's the perfect length when extended for netting nice fish. Pictured is a 6 pound largemouth bass in the net. You can see that it fits well with room to spare for larger fish. If your net is starting to fail you buy this one it is well worth the cost.
Carlie B : Kayak Fishing Must Have
Folds up and fits in my kayak crate perfectly. Coated netting prevents tangles and hook snares. Ideal for kayak fishing where storage is at a premium. Feels study enough to land some good sized bass!
vertron Bussey : Overall if your looking for something decent I think this is a good by for the money.
First impression Pros 1. Light weight 2. Foldable 3. Clip for carrying 4. Telescoping handle Cons 1. No landyard 2. Both sides of net fold down independently vs together. Makes it somewhat troublesome to operate smoothly. 3. Belt clip is in the way of the adjustment knob for handle. Makes it difficult twist the knob to telescope the handle. I'll probrobly remove mine because I dont need it. 4. Net is only held in place by a single tie wrap. It could break if you land a heavy fish
Sloth : Good little net, but not sturdy enough.
I really like the length that this telescopes to and the folding mechanism on the net.
What I don't like is that the net material itself is a little flimsy and the handle tube is way too flexible. Anything over a couple pounds wouldn't be wise to try and hoist. I use it in a kayak so I can just pull it towards me, but I would not trust it to lift from the water onto the deck of a boat.
Carlie B : Kayak Fishing Must Have
Folds up and fits in my kayak crate perfectly. Coated netting prevents tangles and hook snares. Ideal for kayak fishing where storage is at a premium. Feels study enough to land some good sized bass!
J. Robbins : Perfect landing net for kayak fishing
This product is exactly what I wanted. As a kayak angler, it checks all the boxes. It is lightweight, folds to a compact size that stows nicely next to my seat. It deploys quickly when needed. The net is more than sufficient for freshwater fish of all types. The net unfolds easily and locks into place securely. The net is woven well and will stand up to many years of use. Great product!
Becky. : Incorrect measurements are given for the $19.99 selection B
GREAT product! Use to catch small injured birds to bring to rescue. Bummer the measurements were wrong. Again GREAT product collapses, great grip on handle, good quality rubberized net small wholes! INCORRECT MEASUREMENTS! SELECTION B for $19.99 says extended length is 38 inch-it's 36 inches. (I need 48 extended length). Retractable length says 31 inch- it's 29. Collapsed length is correct it is 17 inch. Depth says 7.5 inch it's 16 inch. I Need 48 extended length, but not trust the measurement to order again until I get confirmation. since this one I got not match up. They offered return, OK> Just need to get correct sizing please. Thank you.
JJ Johnson : Very easy to un-fold

I landed two of my biggest large mouth bass with it 19" - 21" each. Stores great on my kayak gear crate.
roadrage : Not what I expected.
I feel like I've wasted my money. I felt safe buying it after I saw lots of good reviews, but after seeing the net, I realize that the people giving good reviews are probably not serious fishermen or women. It feels cheap and I'm not trusting this to net a decent size fish. I think the size fish I'd be able to land with this net, are the size fish that don't really require netting. I can't see trusting this to land a 4lb or 5lb brook trout or salmon. No way. It does fold up to be pretty small, which is convinient for long hikes into remote ponds. But, I don't have confidence to net anything bigger than 14"-15" fish. I cant really afford to spend $115 on a fishing net, like an EGO, but it looks like I have to after I've thrown money away on this.
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

The net is more than sufficient for freshwater fish of all types. The net unfolds easily and locks into place securely. The net is woven well and will stand up to many years of use. Great product!
Gem : Netting broke after two uses with large catfish
The folding and telescoping parts work great - it's easy to get in my kayak, and small enough to store easily with the rest of my gear. But the net developed a golf ball sized hole after a large catfish thrashed around a bit in it. Did not catch in the hook, just the fish moving around. I'll probably just mend it and continue use, but it was pretty annoying for it to break on second use.
Jeffrey Robert Ong : Great versatile net
I have been fishing for almost 25+ years in my life. I have had many different kinds of nets. I found this one online and was interested with it because of its claimed ability to fold down and use in different settings. I do more fishing off my boat and this thing is great when fully extended. When I would wade fish I can fold it down and carry it on my side. This thing has been great and so far I have loved using it.
Donald Hecht : Great for Shore Fishing and Wading
Checking over my Plusino folding net, I was impressed on how it snapped open from its small carrying size and refolded with ease. I bought the none-telescopic net for freshwater shore fishing and wading (up to the knee). I got to use it this week and was delighted; it was just the right length for me. The rubberized netting was fantastic and I was able to remove two sets of treble hooks from it without any of the hook points digging into the mesh. It's now a part of my go to fishing kit.
FishLIkeUs : Quality Fishing Net at a Decent Price
We were pleased with this product upon receiving/testing it. We teach fishing lessons and run kayak fishing charters so space is a necessity and we use our nets regularly. We have purchased folding nets from other manufacturers in the past and enjoyed the design improvements Plusinno has made (tighter corners, quality net material that won't hurt the fish, sturdy handle that locks into place). Our only desire would be for the handle to be slightly longer or extendable so we could net while standing (-1 star). You can view a video of our review on our YouTube channel under 'Fish Like Us'.
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.
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.
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.
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
Watson : Smaller than I thought
this was probably my fault for not looking at the dimensions more carefully but when this net arrived I was surprised at how small it was. We live on the gulf and use a net to haul in the bigger fish, which this net is way too small for. Just wanted to make others aware of this. It is more like for small lake fish. Overall it is a great net, sturdy and very well make, love the rubberized netting. It was just too small for my use.
