Is this net strong enough for 11-12 lb fish ?

Answer: Yes, of course.If you lift the fish with the net handle straight up

What is the length when it is folded down?

Answer: 17 incher length,I hope this helps.

how do you extend the handle?

Answer: The handle does not extend. It can fold but does not extend. If it did extend this would be a fantastic net! Still really good purchase.

Answer: There's a little button that you push that releases the handle. The handle doesn't extend, it unfolds.

Answer: Once you flip the basket up the whole thing, net and handle is 28".

Answer: it doesn't have a extended handle its a good length to scoop the fish up

Answer: You can't. It just folds and unfolds but it has a pretty good handle length fur shore netting and more then enough for wading.

Answer: It unfolds

It doesn't say anwhere what material the handle is made out of? What is it and is it study?

Answer: The handle is metal. It has a little give at the joint, but I have landed some fish up to about five pounds without any trouble.

Would this work to net a crab?

Answer: It should work if the crab isnt small

Answer: Yes it should

Is it good for crabbing

Answer: No, too small for Dungeness

It doesn't say anwhere what material the handle is made out of? What is it and is it sturdy?

Answer: I’m not entirely sure exactly what the handle is made from but it is certainly metal and is stable. This net has been nothing but good to me so far!

Will this net comfortably work for 22" plus trout?

Answer: With careful handling it will. I landed a 26" but it was hanging out a touch. Still a great net and worked like a champ.

Answer: No. I like the net very much. But I think 18" to nineteen is about the max.

Answer: I had no trouble with trout that large.

Answer: Jesus, can I come fishing with you??? But yes it probably will. I would like to know where you are catching it that big. That’s what we fish

would these nets fit into backpack or day pack?

Answer: Would obviously depend on the size. I could squeeze it into mine but I found it easier to strap on the outside. The edges of the hoop/net are wide enough to get a strap through and since it folds the handle isn't sticking way out.

Is the whole thing metal

Answer: Yes it's all metal the handle has some plastic on it it's a good net for kayaking works good

Answer: No..folding mechanism plastic....I think the rest is aluminum....nice net that folds down to half size...

Answer: Its all plastic

Answer: yes

Answer: Yes

What is the diameter of the handle tubing? I'm looking for the tube structure width not the foam or rubber grip on top of it. grip

Answer: 3/4 inch aluminum is the core tube

Answer: It is just under 1"....maybe 0.75 to 0.80 inches best i can tell/measure.

Answer: It is 0.810".

Answer: 20mm

Is the net strong enough?

Answer: Hi mate,

Answer: Strong enough for what?

How would this net work for larger fish?

Answer: Hi mate,

Answer: We got this net to use in a koi pond. It works well for that. It's sturdy and comfortable on the hand.

To Manufacture...Will this be back in stock soon?

Answer: No I had my own

Does this net have a leash?

Answer: There’s no leash, but it’s easy to add one.

Answer: No I had my own

Can I get a new carabiner and magnet for this net? Carabiner not spring loaded and fell in the stream a couple of times. Lost it after the 3rd time.

Answer: I have not had that problem. Home Depot sells generic carbiners you might check and see if they have one that would work. Otherwise you would have to contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.

Will this handle catfish 20lbs or more?

Answer: No, the net is too shallow for a 20lb fish

Answer: Not really. This is fly fishing trout net. I put rainbows at 20 inches or so in it and would work for some smallmouth and smaller largemouth bass. Too small for what you are wanting to do. You need more of a regular landing net.

Answer: I don't fish for fish that big. But trying to imagine a 20 lb cat in it, I don't think it would work very well. Although it is a well made net and very user friendly. I think I would direct that question to the manufacturer or wait and see if anyone fishing for those big fish are using this net, which seems unlikely.

Answer: I would look for something bigger.

Answer: Doubtful

Does this float?

Answer: Nope, doesn’t float. The lighter net is a quality plastic that would probably float on its own, but the frame would not float.

Can you use this for catching baitfish?

Answer: They would be pretty large bait. The holes are about an inch across

Answer: Yes, you can if you're quick enough.

Could this land a 30 in Salmon in river?

Answer: Ha not a chance! Love this net for trout. 18” I was a bit worried about jumping out to give you an idea.

was this magnetic clip issue fixed? Will this work for river wading in upstate ny?

Answer: It works and I think it’s a above average net. It’s cool to have a rustic natural wooden one but this one is pretty damn sweet too. I use for wading on the Madison river in ennis. Built strong and that magnet is pretty strong too

Answer: Not sure what magnetic clip issue you’re referring to but this net is awesome. It would work great for fly fishing but might be a little bulkier than some other fly fishing nets. I use it in my kayak.

Answer: I did not know there was an issue with the magnetic clip. My magnetic clip works fine.

Answer: I have not had any problems with mine.

how long is the handle?

Answer: It is about 12''. it's long enough to help you when you're fishing.

How strong in pull pounds is the magnet?

Answer: I don't know in pull pounds. But the magnet has worked well for me.

Answer: Mine is around 8 or 9 lbs. I can lift a 7.5 lb weight but it breaks when trying to lift a 10 lb weight.

Answer: never fished in my life- never ordered this product- no clue why I am on the list for people to ask me questions!

Does It come with a pull out string With sturdy carabiner ?

Answer: It has a carabiner, no string. The biner is backed up with a strong magnet that allows it it to detach from the handle.

Would the net be fine enough to catch small (1-1.5 inch) minnows?

Answer: Yes dear, you can use it to catch small minnows.

Can this be used in salt water without corrosion?

Answer: I believe it is made out of aluminum so should be fine in salt water.

Answer: Yes. This net is great for salt or freshwater.

what is the depth of the net?

Answer: The depth of the fly fishing net is: 10"

How do you fold the fishing net once opened?

Answer: On the pole section of the handle it tightens so when you extend it or push it back. The net has a lever you pull with two fingers so you can fold it down or put it up.

Would this be good for 6 to 8 lb largemouth bass?

Answer: Yes

Does the rod for the net also collapse, or is it always in the shape of an oval even when "folded"? Will the whole thing collapse into a narrow space?

Answer: Only the handle folds. Good news is it makes for a quick deploy. It just just a flip of the wrist and the net is read to use.

What is the diameter of the handle tubing?

Answer: 20mm

Can the hoop be disconnected to replace the net?

Answer: No

Could this be good for sheeps head , redfish and trout in saltwater?

Answer: Hello, it is okay be used in saltwater.

Answer: Yes,dear.this fishing net will help you a lot when you're fishing.

In what Country is it Made?

Answer: China

Is the netting material such that hooks do not become entangled in it?

Answer: The hooks will not get tangled and this net the net is rubber

Answer: I fish from a pontoon boat and it is really important to me to get the flys out of the fish and out of the net without hassle. This net is really made to do just that. Best net I own.

Answer: Correct, it's a rubber net so hooks don't get caught up in it.

Answer: Yes. This is the exact reason I purchased this. Couldn’t be happier and never had a hook stuck, treble or otherwise. Only wish the handle telescoped but I can manage in my small boat.

Answer: I would say it was decent in that aspect yes. The problem is if you rely on the magnet to keep it connected to you, you may be disappointed.

Answer: Hi mate,

Product reviews of PLUSINNO Fly Fishing Net Fish Landing Net, Trout Bass Net Soft Rubber Mesh Catch and Release Net

Raymond W. Helwig : great net

I use this for trout fishing. Well made, easy storage with folding handle.

GG. : Best value and quality for the money.

This net is great. The magnet is strong and I haven’t knocked the net off accidentally yet. It is sturdy and lightweight. When folded closed the net doesn’t have anything to keep it closed so it always opens. However, it isn’t a very long net so it isn’t much of a problem to carry it opened. The net does lock open and is sturdy for pulling a good sized fish out of the water.

BB : Doesn't telescope out, but does flip up and down to close.

Net seems as appeared in photo. I thought the pole telescoped out but it does not. So this purchase will be for my kayak instead of fishing boat.

Devin Ward : I would buy it for any fishing friend.

Great net, Lands fish, flip-locking. It also has a magnet on the handle for quick and easy use. With a fish on line there is no struggle to get the net and land the fish. Has made my fishing friend jealous at how easy it is to use. Strongly recommended for stream/river anglers. Handles at least 5lb rainbow trout. Might make it up to 10lbs but you will be pushing the size of the net. It also holds small fish (5‐7") without letting them fall through the net.

Billsreview : Good net. More Fish

Strong rubber net. Hooks don’t get stuck. Important for fast fishing. Strong magnet for quick release.

Amazon Customer : Excellent designed Fly Fishing soft net

The net is thoughtfully designed for both Fish and Angler. The folding handle, ergonomic handle grip, ease of extension telescoping handle, make for easy of catch or catch/release of the soft rubber mesh on fish.

PT1959 : I wish I'd had this years ago

I have been canoe tripping and fishing from canoes during these trips for 30 years. I had been using a much larger and heavier rubber net. Given that I'm not as young as I used to be, I have recently been trying to reduce the weight of the gear that I have to carry on portages. I'm happy to report that the PLUINNO Fly Fishing Net exceeded my expectations in just about every aspect. The net is light and strong, folds to a nice compact size, and I was able to finesse lake trout as large as 25" into it without much more difficulty than in my older and much larger net. I expect that I could have netted even larger fish if I'd needed to. All in all, a great product provided one does not need a really long handled net.

Arthur : Surprised with the quality

Very lightweight, what was concerning, but is holding the weight of fish up to 10 pounds until now. I am happy with it.

Anonymous : Surprisingly good net! Dont hesitate, buy now!

I was very pleasantly surprised with this net. The folding handle locks securely into place and folds away easy with no force required which means no pinched fingers. The net material is coated in a rubber like material and while not a true rubber net it is much more gentle on trout. I like to keep a couple rigs in my jeep just incase I come across some must fish water and this net fits in along my other gear with minimal footprint. Absolutely would buy again, not sure you can do better at the price point.

Lynnette : Compact yet Sturdy

This fishnet is perfect for Lake fishing.
I folded mine in half and put it in my backpack easily and hiked into my favorite fishing hole, and put it to the test when my fishing buddy caught a 14” rainbow. The net is very sturdy, and the fish had plenty of room within the net so it was unharmed and was easily released no worse for wear.
If you are looking for a quality, light weight net, this is it.

Evert : Light, Sturdy, and Well made!

Overall it is a well made net. The rubber netting does not harm the fish, and is sturdy enough to hold good size fish. The lightweight construction is strong and durable, and the folding mechanism works very well. The folding allows the net to fit in packs, bags, or in a smaller size for storage at home. I also like that you can remove the magnetic carabiner and change the setup to better suit your needs. The net size is also perfect, not to deep and not to shallow.

I will update after catching more fish, but first impressions are 5/5!

Roark : Bought as backup but it is SO GOOD I will use as main.

Ok. So this was a nice surprise. I got the squarish framed one. This thing is MUCH more well made than it looks in the photos. That middle hinge section connecting the handle section to the net hoop assembly is actually made of metal not plastic so once the plastic catch on the handle is slid in to the tapered channel in it, the interface is snug, not one bit of floppiness, the whole net is really sturdy and very lightweight. I initially bought this as a temporary net for a weekend trip while I looked for a higher end net but at this level of quality there is little reason to buy a “better” net. The netting material is also coated and soft and likely to be gentle on fish. These were my first impressions but after multiple trips and one incident I am convinced i don't need anything "better".

As a testament to just how strong the frame is, and most definitely not something you want to test. On one of my trips I was walking a hooked fish to calmer waters with my rod and walking over sharp large granite boulders to get to the spot and had the net hooked to my back folded, I was not paying enough attention and fell between two large rocks and my upper back where the net was fastened landed on the sharp edge of a large rock.....So i practically had one foot on the forward rock, one leg hanging in the gap, and and my back on another rock. As I got up to inspect what i thought must surely be a broken net and a messed up back....i was so surprised to learn that not only was my back unscathed, I learned that the net was not broken, it only suffered a VERY minor scuff, no bend.

STRONGLY recommended.

Lynnette : Compact yet Sturdy

Thomas M : Great trout net!

Use it to net trout in the Smokies. Used three times and works great. Lightweight, folding, and good handle length. Nice hooks and clip if need be and will fit in most back packs.

MarineCorpsFire : Good Net

Good net to have. I carry this net on my kayak. Folds up nice, easy to carry, have not had any issues with the magnetic release.

MarineCorpsFire : Good Net

Good net to have. I carry this net on my kayak. Folds up nice, easy to carry, have not had any issues with the magnetic release.

WStewart : Spring rusted and catch mechanism failed

This net was the right size and I liked the fold-in-half feature. Caught quite a few big bass which it scooped up fine. But the spring that helps lock the net in the full open position rusted inside the mechanism and it stopped working. I mean c'mon, it's a fishing net so is going to get wet. Next time use a spring that won't rust up. I see no way to contact the company to request a replacement spring so that sucks for me.

Lynnette : Compact yet Sturdy

Jake : Great Little Net

Love this net. Has a great magnet clip, packs in a backpack well, and is fairly lightweight. Can't get any better for the price.

james : Perfect for kayak fishing!

Been a great net for kayak fishing. Like that it folds and has a carabiner. Silicone has been great, no hooks getting caught in the net makes it much easier to release fish, especially in a small kayak. Combine with bungee tether! I would have lost this thing ten times already without it.

Made_N_Michigan : Make sure you get the right size net for the right size fish ????‍♂️

Too small for medium to large fish. I was able to land a 10.6# steelhead but I lost 3 others because I chose the wrong net

The Fishing Family : Great for Kayak Fishing

I recently got this fly fishing net for use on my kayak and it is great for that purpose! It's lightweight, easy to handle, and the mesh is that nice soft rubber so that no matter what type of fish you catch, it will be handled with care.
The net is also attractive looking.
The collapsing function took me a bit of getting used to, but now I really like it. It even comes with a quick release magnetic breakaway connection to a carabiner.
Good product at a great price!

TheCowboyWayne : Great net for the money!

Landed a 20" rainbow with this. Plenty durable and big enough for the trout to fit without worry about it flopping out.
The magnetic holder is a great bonus making it easy to secure while fly fishing, but keeps it plenty handy.

Peter B. : Have to put a locking pin in it and drill a hole in the magnet to install a new more durable clip.

The net itself is great. The magnet caribiner disconnected the first time I was in the water and I would have lost it but for another fly fisher finding it for me. The handle is supposed to be able fold over to make it more compact for storage but does not lock in place and constantly unfolds.

Ronald E. Moseley : Great Trout Net

Works great! Magnet connection on handle is nice; but as I traveled through brush the net would catch and the handle would separate the magnet connection. Could possibly lose it in deeper/fast water if net snagged a rock, etc.

The Fishing Family : Great for Kayak Fishing

Arthur : Surprised with the quality

Very lightweight, what was concerning, but is holding the weight of fish up to 10 pounds until now. I am happy with it.

Bob : Great Portable Net but Magnetic End is a Problem

This is a very handy net to have along, however, the fact that the end attachment is held by a magnet means that there is no secure attachment point available. I would have preferred that they had a fixed end and let us buy our own magnetic attachment with a safety line to the fixed end. I have nearly lost this several times as if it hangs up on brush or anything, it is just gone w/o a safety line attached. That said, I don't see anything better available because the other nets have not yet switched to the more fish friendly wide webbing for the net material.

John F. Krotzer : Perfect for kayak fishing, with one caveat ...

Received this last week and love it. My main need was a good net for the kayak that my hooks didn’t get stuck in. Until now, my fishing process was cast, hook, reel in, net, release fish, spend 10 minutes cutting lure out of the net! The hooks don’t get stuck in this net, and it is plenty roomy for large bass.

My only caveat is that I wished it had an elastic strap that a could connect to the kayak, rather than the immovable steel ring and carabiner. I was able to take the strap from my last net and reuse it on this one, so no big deal. Overall, I’m very happy!

Danbo : Good handnet. Perfect for me.

Very nice fishing handnet. May be a little big for a kayak, but if you catch a fish big enough that you need a net, you'll be glad you have a net that's big enough. I'd recommend it and if I lose it in the lake, I'll buy this one again.

McKinley Cantor : Fit for purpose

I just received this after losing my old net in a kayak bass tournament last weekend. I lost time with the old one due to hooks getting tangled, so I for sure wanted to gt a rubber meshed net. I think the rare-earth magnet seems strong, but I won't trust it 100%. I will likely add some flotation around the loop to make it float if it falls over. This should work well for kayak purposes-nice and light!

NotAFakeReview : Really wanted to like it- magnetic release failed

I was so excited to get this net. The rubber netting and magnetic release were huge selling points for me. Let me just say... the magnetic release failed miserably. 5 minutes into wading and the net disconnected from the release and went to the bottom of the river. The net was simply hanging from a d ring on my fishing vest- not in contact with the water/current. Come on guys you got do better than that!

Justin Lai : Rubber Foldable Net

The net arrived! Attached some photos of it.

Here is my initial take on the net (I will update it when I get a chance to land a fish) :

The net came very well packed and taped up. After getting it out of the plastic what I was left with is in the pictures. The net feels like a soft rubber that won't scratch up the fish on retrieval it feels like a silicone phone case or the silicon spatulas. I found that it has a plastic smell but I'm sure that's because it hasn't been used yet. The handle feels a little flimsy, but it locks fine when it's opened. The net doesn't close itself and has a "button" that you slide down to pop it off the net. For now I'm a little skeptical of how it would flip fish but I'm excited to see!

LovingMontana : I love this Net!!

Took a trip out to a local lake where I got to really get a feel for this net. I absolutely love it. It is well built and has the folding feature that helps for packing. The ghost net is amazing and fish friendly.

Erik Do : Defective product.

First time out on my kayak. The knob came off without knowing when and why. I lost my net. Poorly attachment.

Peter B. : Have to put a locking pin in it and drill a hole in the magnet to install a new more durable clip.

R. Cosgrove : Smooth netting and strong pattern

I did not use this net because I returned it, I needed a larger one, but it seemed very durable and well made. The netting was seamless and smooth with a strong pattern. Actually, I almost kept it & exchanged the other, larger net because of the quality of this net was far superior. But I needed a deeper one for my Koi. I also really liked the folding option in this

The Fishing Family : Great for Kayak Fishing

Carlos Franco : Great Product!!

The net is very light and sturdy. I love the fact I don't have to unclip it from my bag when netting a fish. I also enjoy more not having to deal with my hooks getting caught on the net. It's very portable and easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone that want a great net for an affordable price.

LovingMontana : I love this Net!!

saul martir : Beautiful big net

This net is absolutely beautiful bigger net then I expected but it all turned out for the best. I caught trout the first time out with it.

Kyle S. : Terrible Magnet

Several design flaws in this net. When it folds down, there is nothing to keep it folded, so the handle will swing back and forth. Most importantly. the magnet at the end of the handle which hooks onto the carabiner is not very strong. I took this fishing two times and the first time, it fell off the magnet twice but I was able to catch it both times. The third time it fell off, I couldn't snag it and the river took it away. If you plan to fish in a current of any sort, DO NOT buy this net. You'll lose it guaranteed.

Jake : Great Little Net

Love this net. Has a great magnet clip, packs in a backpack well, and is fairly lightweight. Can't get any better for the price.

BB : Doesn't telescope out, but does flip up and down to close.

Net seems as appeared in photo. I thought the pole telescoped out but it does not. So this purchase will be for my kayak instead of fishing boat.

Warren E. Crabill : Magnet works.

Good size. Issue over the magnet not observed, but the snap hook failed. Fortunately found the net on the trail and I got a better hook.

Artemio : Foldable and compact! Net coating makes for a stronger net.

I like the compact size of the net folded. It fits in my Camelback backpack when folded. However, I'm not to sure about the locking mechanism of the handle - will have to test it out and see how it holds up with a few ponds of fish in it. The net feels very sturdy because of the coating on it. It the coating stays on it will make for a long lasting net. The packaging is just a plastic bag and you can see in the third picture that there were some scratches on the brand logo due to the net rubbing against something, but the Amazon box protects the net itself for delivery. Overall, this is a very good product, at a very good price!

Captain : Just the net I needed. A kayak fisherman must have.

This a a great net at a great value. I was wanting a rubber net for landing trout but I primarily fish for bass. The magnet is strong enough to keep it attached to the top of my kayak and is conveniant for quick use, and quick reattaching while handling the fish. I now don't go fishing without it. Have landed large bass up to 4lbs and it holds up and handles them easily.

F. LASOR : Good net, needs longer handle

I got one of these nets because I practice catch and release and I fish from a pontoon boat. The net is a good size and I like the rubber netting material, but the handle should be a little longer.

Austin Yeager : I Love This Net

I use this net all the time. I love that there's a magnetic detachable clasp that can connect to my backpack or belt loop while working the bank of a river. BUT the ring that connects to the clasp is very weak and I'd strongly recommend switching it out for a sturdier key ring. If your net snags, the magnet is so strong the loop will straighten out and the net will fall. Just keep the magnet clean of iron debris and watch out for tree branches.

On a strong note the handle folds for easy storage and the rubber netting does not snag lures or fish fins.

Edward M Sherry : Great low-cost net

All the nets I looked at were ridiculous expensive. This one was 50% to 85% less than the cost of some of the nets I was looking at ($160 for a trout fishing net? Huh?). I haven't used a net in years because I had nowhere to hold it, but I got a sling pack so I wanted to get a net to go in the net slot.

I've only had it a week but used it almost every day and
1) it's so light, I don't notice I'm carrying it
2) can't believe I went so long without a net

Pic 1: you can see it jutting out of my pack (normally it's upright, behind my head) next to my fishing buddy Duchess
Pic 2: ensnaring a beautiful bow in one of my favorite New Jersey trout streams (don't tell anyone not all of NJ is America's armpit, we've got enough people here)
