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 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
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.
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.
Kevin S : very solid & compact
This is my first landing net and it's perfect for the ponds that I fish at. It's foldable & compact but very solid in the hand :). I'm able to easily stow it with my gear and it's easy to work with one hand when I'm landing a bass. Very solid, easy to fold/unfold and lightweight. I really like this net... I'll update with additional observations as I use it in the future. So far, So Very Good :). Shout out to Plusinno !! I have your Rods & Reels & multiple segmented lures and tackle kits. You provide solid gear at really good prices... Thanks !! Very Happy Customer :)
Victoria : Good product.
I have been impressed with this. It is easy to set up and fold away and seems to be well made. My only very minor complaint is that I wish the handle extended about 12" more.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Jethro : Flimsy and cheap. Breaks easily. Don’t waste money!
Cheap junk. My telescopic model broke on the first attempt to extend it. The build is plastic and VERY flimsy. I bought this because 618 fishing recommended it. I don’t understand why. Don’t waste your money. Buy a better net.
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.
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.
Giles O Kesteloot : Broke after 1 day.
Seems like it’s made of good materials, but unfortunately after using it 2-3 times the handle came completely off. Looks like it was poorly glued on and broke off after just 1 day of using it. Disappointing, hopefully they can send me one that is better constructed and lasts longer.
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.
Jeffrey Dillinger : Know What You Are Buying
I thought I was buying the telescoping hand fishing net, but didn't. It's short. Good for a kayak or boat that is low to the water. Also great for fly fishing (which is probably what's it was intended for). But in our boat, it just isn't a long enough reach to work well.
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.
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.
Amazon Customer : Love the rubber mesh...
... knowing that it will not tear up fish i plan to catch and release fish. Fold's up nice and small. Can be deployed from the folding position with one hand by just swinging it open, or pushing it open on a boat, rock, etc. Overall, great product!
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

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.
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!
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!
TheBruggers : Awesome!
Plusinno hasn't failed me yet! Easy travel net that's still strong and durable.

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.
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'.
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!!
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.

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
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).

... knowing that it will not tear up fish i plan to catch and release fish. Fold's up nice and small. Can be deployed from the folding position with one hand by just swinging it open, or pushing it open on a boat, rock, etc. Overall, great product!
Cheyne : Easy to use. Easy to store away.
Its not a mesh net. It is rubber. Hooks wont get caught in the mesh.
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 : easy to use and works like a charm
I have to say I love this fishing net. Its easy to fold up and place in a small compartment the.boat and it can handle big hogs. A added bonus is that hooks don't get hung up in netting. I Would definitely recommended.
Lucifer4pres666 : BAD. HANDLES DONT STAY GLUED!!
Literally lasted one fishing trip. Picked up a single, tiny dink bass, and it immediately broke. Terrible terrible net and of course I cant get it replaced because now the 30 day window is closed. Yall are terrible and you should feel terrible about selling this product.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
Callie : I love it
I really think this a spectacular fishing net. The netting is nice and tough so it's not going to break easily and it conveniently folds up and has a belt hook to strap it on for easy carry. This is going to be perfect to take out with me in my hiking/fishing trips since it's a great size and very convenient to carry around. I have to say I'm extremely pleased with this net!
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.
