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:

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
Brother G : Replaced an old net. This works.
I replaced an old net with the PLUSINNO Fishing Net and I have no complaints. Folds easy, cleans well, and is sturdy. I will say in the few months I've had it, I haven't landed anything more than 2-3 lbs......yet. My take on it's sturdiness only goes that far. Better anglers than I would have to chime in on that.
TheBruggers : Awesome!
Plusinno hasn't failed me yet! Easy travel net that's still strong and durable. Funny story, we haven't been able to get on the water during this shutdown, but I had to use my net to capture my guinea pigs! Silly things opened their fence and went in the woods! Super happy I immediately thought of the net so I could grab it then them! haha
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
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.
David : Great net
I bought this for a chicken catch net. It’s to short and the pocket is to small for my purpose. I gave good ratings because it’s a great net for what it was designed for. It will be great for fishing, or a dip net for a minnow tank. It is heavy duty. Fold easy.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Rachel Striggow : sturdy and strong
This is a heavy duty net. It's very well made, sturdy and strong. I got it with my birds in mind. it's not easy to catch them when they are in their flight cage. It's nice that it folds up so it takes up less room. What ever you use it for it a very nice net.
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.

Troy : It’s what your looking for
Bought this net for my son because I dropped his in the water and it sunk to the bottom and I couldn’t hook it again it’s a good little net extends folds up stays out of the way definitely a goodbye for the money
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.

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.
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
Chelsea : This is a nice solid compact net that is easily portable.
This net is great my only complaint is its a little on the small side. I did get the smallest size though so thats a dumb complaint. This net will be great for trout fishing or panfish and bass out of the kayak or jon boat. It is sturdy, well built and the netting style is safer for fish then traditional netting. I will certanly get a lot of use out of it!
Amazon Customer : Perfect for Fishing Bass, Trout, Catfish
It worked great. Folds very well to a small size that is easily portable. When expanded it feels very sturdy. Handled fish from 2 to 5 lbs very well. I can't tell if larger fish will do well because we didn't catch anything bigger (ha).
I think it's a great net if you are traveling and/or on a kayak/inflatable boat. If you are on a larger boat you may want a longer/bigger net but for most dock fishing it's great.
A suggestion as a product improvement is a telescoping rod, but that would definitely change the price.
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!
Ralph L. : Terrific kayaking net

Steve CA : Fresh Water Colapsible Net
Decent net as far as materials and ease of functionality with folding and unfolding. Very stable and secure when opened up. My only recommendation would be for this net to be a bit bigger. Maybe it's just the fish in our lakes, but they move fast and are strong. We will see how it works. I had another net similar that had an extendable handle. This is a fixed length.
bwong247 : Overall very portable and useful
I overall enjoy this product as it could fit my fishing backpack and i can carry it anywhere with ease. The only issue is that i question its studiness. But i’ll update it as times goes
Update: The extender piece has broke into 2 pieces when tightening it. I contacted the customer support and has yet to receive a response back. I superglued it back and now to extend the net, i need to twist and pull pretty hard to have it come out. I did like this net when it worked but currently disappointed.
Jacob : It folds out nicely and is very compact which is great for kayak ...
I chose the smaller 12" wish I would have gone for the larger size but that is my own fault. It folds out nicely and is very compact which is great for kayak fishing. The material is exactly what I was wanting it is rubber so hooks won't get tangled up inside it. All the moving parts are plastic so hopefully they hold up. The belt clip holds it securely onto my chair. No complaints here.
Amazon Customer : IS NOT TELESCOPING
Bought this under the impression it was a telescoping net. Aggravated that it isn't. BUT it does seem heavy duty so hopefully it'll last.
"Mike's Tackle Box" on YouTube : Great for Sand Crabs
Great for catching sandcrabs on the beach. It will filter through medium size rocks, shells, smaller crabs. Check out my video catch and cook video under " Mikes Tackle box" on YouTube thanks.
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.

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
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.
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!

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!
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.
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.
willie wilson : Great Net for my kayaking
This folding net is perfect for my fishing trips with my kayak. Being compact is what it is all about when kayaking and this fits perfect along with my fishing gear taking very little space and when it is time to use, it is built sturdy to help bring in the catch.
T. Lee : Broke after using net less than dozen times
While netting a 24 inch bass that is under 5 Lbs, the end of the grip broke! I was surprised it broke with so little effort! Wouldn’t recommend this considering how easy it is to break!
bwong247 : Overall very portable and useful
I overall enjoy this product as it could fit my fishing backpack and i can carry it anywhere with ease. The only issue is that i question its studiness. But i’ll update it as times goes
Update: The extender piece has broke into 2 pieces when tightening it. I contacted the customer support and has yet to receive a response back. I superglued it back and now to extend the net, i need to twist and pull pretty hard to have it come out. I did like this net when it worked but currently disappointed.
Jamie Dundee : Excellent product at a great price
Handle is nice and it is balanced well. The holder is a must so it is nice it it included. This net is exceptional ! The quality of materials and hardware used at top notch.
TheBruggers : Awesome!
Plusinno hasn't failed me yet! Easy travel net that's still strong and durable. Funny story, we haven't been able to get on the water during this shutdown, but I had to use my net to capture my guinea pigs! Silly things opened their fence and went in the woods! Super happy I immediately thought of the net so I could grab it then them! haha
Catfish Head Hunters : 12" Plussino Fishing Net | Great for backpack fishing!
This net is perfect for those small creeks and streams and smaller fish. I would consider this a great add on for anyone looking for light weight foldable & collapsible fishing net. I can see this holding fish upwards of 5 to 6 lbs max anything over this would most likely not fit in the net. Im sure it could handle it but length wise of that size of the fish no. I love the carbon fiber look to the handle of this net and love the little feature to hang this on my backpack tackle box. The netting has a nice rubber coating over it to protect fish like trout who are super fragile when landing with a net.
