Questions about RESTCLOUD Fishing Landing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle, Fishing net Freshwater for Kids Men Women, Extend to 40-63 Inches
Q:
Would this be a good idea for snakehead fishing?
Answer: Stay far away, biggest piece of junk I've ever purchased
Q:
Why the handle is made of such a cheap metal that it snaps off at a slightest load?
Answer: Our handle broke the very first use and left a sharp dangerous, jagged metal edge. This was one of my most disappointing purchases ever and my kids were sad because they were excited about them. Total garbage!
Answer: The handle on the one I got is much stronger than I expected
Answer: I haven’t had this problem.
Q:
We got this net, can’t figure out how to collapse it once it’s open?
Answer: I couldn't figure out how to collapse it either, then I realized I was trying to collapse it in the wrong direction. You pull the ribbed notch at the base of the net down, then fold the net BACKWARDS. It collapses right down.
Answer: there are two ribbed/notched silver 'things' right where the net rods met the handle. you have to squeeze them and fold the rods down. it is a little confusing at first, it took me a minute to get it. (i cannot attach a photo, it seems). good luck and Merry Christmas!
Answer: you have to release the locking mechanism located at the base of the net.
Answer: There's a clip that slides down.
Q:
Is the width in inches or centimeters?
Answer: Basket width is 16 inches for both steel and aluminum handles. Nice net for the price, although I recommend steel over aluminum for durability. .Handles all panfish up to medium size bass nicely. Jumbo bass and medium pike are a stretch.
Answer: Piece of junk! Has a nice long extension but if you land anything with weight it will rip and bend the aluminum.
Answer: It’s both
Q:
I cannot get it to stay closed until needed. It flops open when hanging which makes it unusable. Can you help?
Answer: I have arthritis in my hands. The metal "button" on my unit that is used to open and close the head was impossible for me to manipulate. Don't know if this actually helps with your issue or not.
Answer: I have mine strapped to my fishing bag. That works for me.
Q:
Is the net material made from nylon? or will resist a little heat, or melt ?
Answer: Yes, the net is made from nylon, it will not melt.
Answer: Yes it is made of nylon
Q:
What is the shortest length for packing for both (stainless) the 32" version and 34" version?
Answer: In my opinion the shortest length fo pack both the 32” and 34” version of the fishing nets should be no shorter than 40”. Room would be needed for packing materials.
Answer: This net is easy to pack. It folds down to about 17" in length and about 4" wide.
Q:
Does this come with a case
Answer: This fishing net does not come with a carry case.
Answer: No, but it folds up into a small object
Q:
what country was it made in
Answer: China

Q:
what is the size of the mesh hole? small enough to also catch flying insect bait?
Answer: The mesh hole is 1/5 inches.
Answer: I do not know the measurement but it is small enough to catch insects
Answer: About 1/4 inch six sided. It should work
Q:
Is this net suitable for catching sand crabs (sand fleas) at the beach for barred perch bait?
Answer: Hello, the fishing net is suitable for catching sand crabs.
Answer: the net material is has a small weave fine for catching baitfish, but the handle is hollow and broke on our first use catching freshwater sunfish of only a pound.
Answer: Not a fisherman, so really don't know. I guess it would do what you want, but that's a gusess.
Q:
Can it handle a 20lbs cat
Answer: No, it cannot. 20lbs cat is too heavy. ASIN B086QTHN3Q is suitable to catch such heavy cat. If everything is going well, it will stock in 2 weeks.
Answer: The net is a soft mesh and I wouldn't try to land anything that heavy with it.
Answer: Never...it broke when my daughter used first time for a couple minnie
Answer: I doubt it, it's pretty cheap made
Answer: No, mine broke first time I used it
Answer: I never tested it but I would think so!
Q:
For the 43" ss net, is the handle 43" or is the net 43" total? How is the net total handle and basket?
Answer: The telescopic handle extends from 18" to 32", total handle with hoop expend to 43 inches. Hoop Length is 16", Depth is 12".
Answer: I don't know the answer to your question because it broke 1st try. I really wanted it to work and ignored the reviews.

Answer: As for this Super Strong Aluminum Handle Fishing net, the following is the details,
Answer: Well it telescopes out a long ways I was actually pretty impressed you would just have to look at the dimensions of the net I could catch one of my adults but I guess it depends on what breed of chicken you have mine are not large breeds
Answer: I bought it because of a Bat problem. Which I have not the had the pleasure of using it for yet!!! I will say its not a real sturdy and strong piece. Perfect for bats, birds and small fish. Might want to get something with a little more quality to it for chickens.
Answer: Yes, it’s big, handle can short can long

Answer: Nylon - not sure on the size. Large enough for most fish

Answer: It's metal on the sides and a plastic rope like material across the front. The "aluminum" part is just the handle and it's super thin, held together with cheap plastic.. broke on me immediately.. also, I've never had aluminium leave black smears on my hands.. this does.. it leaves marks on everything it touches, just like lead does..

Product reviews of RESTCLOUD Fishing Landing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle, Fishing net Freshwater for Kids Men Women, Extend to 40-63 Inches
nancy dowling : Great Purchase!!
I ordered the net for my Grandson to Go frogging and catching Minnows!! He loves nature and frogs!! We had less expensive nets and he seemed to enjoy the Restcloud fishing net the best! The fact that it telescopes he could easily pack in his backpack. He caught and released many frogs while on vacation!???? Only problem was that it did bend because he tended to throw it down roughly!! We were able to reshape it!! All in all a good purchase.
Chris Allen : First use and broken
While we're stuck at home, I thought pond dipping would be fun and educational. I was impressed with the design of the net head, the pole however is seriously lacking in thoughtful design. First time we brought this net to the pond, probably the seventh dip, the corner gently hit the sand bank and the pole split causing the net head to be extremely wobbly to the point where if we had continued to use it it would snap off. Disappointed kid, disappointed parent. I think with a bit of reinforcing at the weak point this could be a good product, as it is I do not recommend.
Due to our state being under a shelter in place order I am unable to return this product.
mandilu : Breaks easily, flimsy.
This broke the very first time I used it. It has an aluminum handle. It’s flimsy snd can handle no more than a few leaves. The net got a whole in it in the same use. I was only skimming to grab a few leaves. It didn’t get caught on anything, just snapped and I had to dig it out if the bottom of my smelly pond. This is the biggest piece of junk I ever can remember purchasing. Don’t even think about it. Find a steel handle not this garbage. I feel ripped off because I can’t return it now that it’s passed the window.
TeeCee : You get what you pay for.......
Seems ok quality, but does not extend to 50" was expecting a little longer pole on the net. Well, used this net one time, piece of junk. Some of the strands in the net broke and the pole will bend if it holds anything larger or heavier than a fart. Please save up a little more money and buy a quality product that will hold up. Cheaply made...
Vinceo66 : The great product and sellers quick communication!
At first I was a little confused when I was setting it up but realized it was quite easy. It’s strong and durable and I can’t wait to take it fishing in a couple weeks with my family. And props to the seller she was able to answer all my questions in a timely manner which made the whole experience one of the best on Amazon. I hope to do business again with her in the future!
K. Sorensen : Great net, No Strap or Stretch rope.
It would be better if it was a little lighter. I was disappointed to realize it has no Stretch Rope to carry on Shoulder attached to it. I looked back & Saw it made no mention of it. I would have happily paid a few more dollars to have the stretch Rope. Do you sell them to go with it? Contact me if you do. Thanks Ken Sorensen
Mon Lee : Broke after the second use
Kids were scoping up little fishes with is at the beach. It broke at the middle of the smaller section. If you get this, consider inserting something into the smaller section to provide more support.
Also, sand gets into it easily. After sand is inside, it took some time and lots of water to clean out before I can re-track the net and fold it again.
Winnie P : good buy for the price
It is compact, light weight, but not very rugged. I have yet to test it in the field to see how strong the net and handle is, but it doesn't looks very strong. Given the compactness, it would be hard to make it strong. The finish is kind of cheapo. But that is what you paid for. After all, seems good legit product.
OdieKai : Light weight & solid, but difficult to fold (at least for me)
The fishing net was delivered on time, and was packed safely to avoid any possible damage during shipping. For my particular case, although as pictured in the listing, the item itself did not work for me. The metal "button" that has to be used to open the head of the net is too difficult for my arthritic hands to manipulate. For this reason, I had to return the item.
Dave Kotait : Nice and practical
It fit well in my back pack, it is light weight but, stout. I used the heck of it the other day. Must remember that this is great for fish 16 inches long and under. Not bragging here, i caught a 22 inch trout the other day and it just did not fit the net. It is a great unit to carry in your back pack if you hike to your favorite fishing hole. I will buy it again to give to my daughter in law, she likes to hike and fish.
George H. Edwards : Lasted only 4 months before cheap aluminum handle broke in half. Don’t buy unless for an aquarium.
Purchased this 4 months ago for picking up leaves in my pond and today, it just broke in half. I should have known that the telescopic thin aluminum pole would not be able to handle the weight of wet leaves but to just break in half? Now, I’ve duct-taped it back together and will just have use it for very light load. In short, don’t buy pond/fish nets with cheap aluminum poles made in China. On the bright side, I hope the Chinese used the same poor quality aluminum on their fighter jets & warships ;-)
Notrozer : Better than the reviews
I read other reviews and belive people have this wrong... Its not the strongest net in the world because its a folding net. I use it to catch my chickens when i need to move them from one coop to another.. This net has been great investment fort the price point that it exist in...
D. Walsdorf : Great compact net.
Product arrived on time and as advertised. Net folds and collapses down to the size of a small umbrella. Fantastic for stowing out of the way. Useful not only for fish, but for picking up stray lake trash or anything that might have blown over. Great value. There are sturdier nets out there, but none this collapsible. .
Mebcrow : Go with stainless for fishing, it will last longer
The aluminium one broke on us while trying to bag a fish. The stainless steel handle one is pretty cool. Way more sturdier. Couple inches smaller, but not enough to be a deal breaker. Very happy wth the seller and the stainless steel version.
Bunny : very useful
So far I've used the net to catch invasive goldfish out of a pond and to catch crawfish (also invasive for my area) out of a lake. The net is light enough to maneuver but not so light that it bends. I really like the small mesh of the net itself. My only issue was figuring out which way to push the button to fold it back up at first.
edit June 12th: after less than 2 weeks it broke. wasn't rough with it but the handle snapped
Nghi v tran : Not a very sturdy net! broke on the first time i tried but the seller is amazing to replace
Overall i gave a 3 stars rate just because the seller is very good to replace a much better net , which is a very good net! But this net was broken in half right on the first time i used it . Very disppointed! but commend the seller.
WiseBuyer : Weak construction, not durable.
Weak. Thin, hollow, plastic tubing is what holds the front of the net up. Once that breaks (don't worry, it won't take long), the sharp metal edges then cut through the netting as well. The folding metal sides are pretty bendy. The pole itself is nice, and the expansion parts work well.
It does catch stuff and let water out... So it may be ok for light usage while fishing if you need something portable.
For a kid catching frogs and baby fish at the edge of a pond, it's junk. Lasted about a week.
K. Sorensen : Great net, No Strap or Stretch rope.
It would be better if it was a little lighter. I was disappointed to realize it has no Stretch Rope to carry on Shoulder attached to it. I looked back & Saw it made no mention of it. I would have happily paid a few more dollars to have the stretch Rope. Do you sell them to go with it? Contact me if you do. Thanks Ken Sorensen
Andreaj8 : Cheap nets that don’t last
I ordered two of these for my kids and both broke on the second day of use. The front of the net has a think piece of rubber tubing holding the net and both snapped. The folding mechanism on both nets was also very difficult to operate and had to be forced closed. I’m sure there are better nets on the market. I don’t recommend this product.
Mebcrow : Go with stainless for fishing, it will last longer
The aluminium one broke on us while trying to bag a fish. The stainless steel handle one is pretty cool. Way more sturdier. Couple inches smaller, but not enough to be a deal breaker. Very happy wth the seller and the stainless steel version.
DS longtime reader : Very sturdy
I ordered this to net the algae in a large pond in our backyard. The net is very sturdy and easy to maneuver in the water. The angled edges make it easier to get into the smaller spaces among the rocks. I didn't realize that the front of the net doesn't actually have a frame to it, just the sides do, but it seems to work just fine. The handle extends to various sizes, which is a great feature when I'm in areas that are tight with shrubs at the edges of the pond. I can collapse the handle so it doesn't get stuck in the bushes.
Jay swift : Don’t buy. Here’s why.
This net is trash DO NOT BUY. It’s made of low grade materials and is not as sturdy as it claims to be. It’s also made in China and looks to only cost them .75¢ for them to make.
Notrozer : Better than the reviews
I read other reviews and belive people have this wrong... Its not the strongest net in the world because its a folding net. I use it to catch my chickens when i need to move them from one coop to another.. This net has been great investment fort the price point that it exist in...
Sharon Molnar : Not 50 inches. Only 40
I'm disappointed that it didn't open to 50 inches. Light weight, once you open and close a few times it becomes easier to fold. Was considering getting a longer length from same seller. I just don't have time for that I've got physical therapy 3 times a week and and am healing from a fractured upper right arm and shoulder, with a plate and a bunch of screws. I don't have time to try them all out to see if they measure correctly. I did measure this one. Came in just under 40 inches, including the net. Light weight seems sturdy, but I'll never know.
noname12 : Excellent net!
I need this net to care for the many little goldfish in my outdoor pond. The design of the net is very helpful, and the mesh is fine enough so that very small fish are gently captured. The net is still new, so I can't comment on durability, but I am optimistic.
Jay swift : Don’t buy. Here’s why.
This net is trash DO NOT BUY. It’s made of low grade materials and is not as sturdy as it claims to be. It’s also made in China and looks to only cost them .75¢ for them to make.
crystal winebarger : Broken on arrival
The net itself is supported by two metal thin bars and a rubber coated piece of wire that extends when you extend the Nets. My handle was bent upon delivery in two different places and I wasn't able to extend the handle. I had anticipated taking this on the fishing trip, thinking I got a great deal, unfortunately I did not.
Amber B. : Not very durable but a nice net for smaller catches
The idea of this is so great. The actual product felt like and sounded like it was going to break with a seven pound catfish in it this weekend. It statutes to bend and make a noise like it was going to break. After we got the fish out the net would not go back on the ends to keep it open it was just sliding down and not opening up to help with bringing in the other fish. The folding aspect is perfect for on the kiak and not taking up room or loosing it because it drags in the water and gets pulled in. It’s easy enough to fold out and fold back but I think I have to put a couple stitches on it to keep the net in place so it’s ready to assist in my next big catch. :)
Rockwood Mom : PIECE OF JUNK. Amazon should STOP SELLING this.
Can’t believe amazon continues to sell this piece of junk. I read reviews before ordering, but for some reason didn’t come across the hundreds who said it broke on first or second use... until our handle broke on second use. Now it’s a useless, dangerous, jagged piece of flimsy aluminum. A soda can is infinitely stronger and harder to rip than whatever this pole is made of. Super disappointing because we actually really liked the net part. First use, 10 yr old used it to catch minnows in the creek. Second use in tidal pools at the beach - day one of a weeklong vacation - no waves or rough water, just gently skimming through water, and the weight of water alone snapped the pole. Infuriating - now he has no net for the rest of vacation.
hoodlydoodlydoo : Feels flimsy, but should work for landing fish
It's nice that this thing collapses into a size that can easily fit in my backpack, but the trade off is the strength of the frame for the net. It feels flimsy and bends very easily and will likely break the next time I use it. For landing fish, it's probably fine, but I use mine to catch live specimens from creeks and it can't take the abuse.
I replaced this with a Walmart brand plastic and aluminum model that doesn't collapse the net frame, but is much sturdier. This will act as a backup only.
OdieKai : Light weight & solid, but difficult to fold (at least for me)
The fishing net was delivered on time, and was packed safely to avoid any possible damage during shipping. For my particular case, although as pictured in the listing, the item itself did not work for me. The metal "button" that has to be used to open the head of the net is too difficult for my arthritic hands to manipulate. For this reason, I had to return the item.
By CJs Pirate : Good Catch
My fishing luck hasn't been so good that I even needed a net. However, I bought myself a kayak and I'll be able to fish places I couldn't walk to. My hopes are high for both the fishing and netting.
I do have a note of importance to new buyers. There's a small zip tie holding the net to the base of the net. Don't do like I did and snip it off thinking it was put there just for shipping. That little piece of plastic has a reason to exist.
Happy Fishing, amigos!
Falcon73 : Nice lightweight net
The net was perfect for what we wanted. We often cruise the Tampa Bay waters on a pontoon boat and too often see plastic waste floating in the water. The Restcloud net was perfect for fishing the plastic out of the water - folds up nicely for storage, good extending handle length, decent net depth for our use, and sturdy.. I realize the net was designed for landing fish, but can't speak to that.
Winnie P : good buy for the price
It is compact, light weight, but not very rugged. I have yet to test it in the field to see how strong the net and handle is, but it doesn't looks very strong. Given the compactness, it would be hard to make it strong. The finish is kind of cheapo. But that is what you paid for. After all, seems good legit product.
healthy living : So far it fits the bill.
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom who is an avid golf player. I got the idea to get her a collapsible net after I heard her talking about how one of her golf partners lost a ball in the water, as they were not able to reach it with whatever implement they had. I wanted it to be thin and compact so that it would not take up much room in her golf bag nor be cumbersome. I also looked for the max extension… this net fit all these requirements. i have not taken it out of the original packing...well because its a Christmas gift.....Hopefully it will work well for the use I have in mind! More to follow after Christmas!
Monica Roberts : Great sturdy compact net - kid proof!
I bought this net after my son, in his enthusiasm for bait fish, destroyed two others. This is the best made, sturdiest net by far. We love the strong telescoping arm - my son can try to scoop without getting too close to the water and he can scoop further out. We love the overall design - there is a chain in the net frame that has give - probably why my son hasn't broken this one yet. He can slam it against the rocks, and the chain doesn't break like a plastic or even aluminum frame might. But my favorite part is that is collapses down super compact - it fits right in with my pole gear. I used to have to carry my old net separately, but this guy slides right into my pole carrier, leaving me with a hand free to carry bait. Since fishing trips are usually just the two of us, it is really helpful to be able to pack this up and stuff it away - I'm already toting so much stuff!
Nghi v tran : Not a very sturdy net! broke on the first time i tried but the seller is amazing to replace
Overall i gave a 3 stars rate just because the seller is very good to replace a much better net , which is a very good net! But this net was broken in half right on the first time i used it . Very disppointed! but commend the seller.
Beach Plum : Great deal for the price!
I really like this net! I didn’t realize how collapsible it was. I knew that the handle could extend but I did not know that the net part actually collapses. The length of the handle is OK, if it was a little longer it would be nice. It seems sturdy enough although I have not used it. Just received it today and hopefully in a few weeks will be trying it out. Very easy to collapse and it’s very light.
Deborah Daniels : Broke the first time we used it
Unfortunately, the first time we went to use the net it broke. We went to catch a crab in the sand and just hitting it against the sand was too much and the handle snapped. The net part is sturdy.
CatMc : Not good for kids in shallow water.
Broke almost immediately. Only good for scooping up a hooked fish on line in deep water. Not good for catching things in shallow water, like small creek fish, crayfish or frogs at the edge of a pond because the end of the net is too fragile to withstand scooping against rocks, sticks, ground, etc. I would not recommend this for kids.
Stony Man : Light duty, but will do what I purchase it for
The lock is a little hard to get to lock the net open, but I wanted this to catch my ammo ejections from bench shooting, the flat end sits on the bench perfect. For fishing they better be smaller fish, light duty for big fish. This is exactly what I wanted it for. catching spent shells.
Dave Kotait : Nice and practical
It fit well in my back pack, it is light weight but, stout. I used the heck of it the other day. Must remember that this is great for fish 16 inches long and under. Not bragging here, i caught a 22 inch trout the other day and it just did not fit the net. It is a great unit to carry in your back pack if you hike to your favorite fishing hole. I will buy it again to give to my daughter in law, she likes to hike and fish.
Meowcaholic : Perfect for catching cats!
I have an elusive kitty who needs flea treatments sometimes. Well, she used to be feral so it's impossible to just pick her up, I have to wait and trick her or sneak up on her, sometimes it takes weeks. This net was perfect for my issue. now I just scoop her up with it! Sometimes she see's me coming and I have to chase her around but still when i see her path I put the net in front of her at the last second and she runs right in it (lol). The netting is strong enough to hold her and the metal is really sturdy. I saw some reviews from people saying the pole broke. Those reviews were all from people who ordered the aluminum version. I got the stainless version and it's really strong. If this holds my pissed off cat, then it will hold anything else you want to catch with it as well.

noname12 : Excellent net!
I need this net to care for the many little goldfish in my outdoor pond. The design of the net is very helpful, and the mesh is fine enough so that very small fish are gently captured. The net is still new, so I can't comment on durability, but I am optimistic.
Vinceo66 : The great product and sellers quick communication!
At first I was a little confused when I was setting it up but realized it was quite easy. It’s strong and durable and I can’t wait to take it fishing in a couple weeks with my family. And props to the seller she was able to answer all my questions in a timely manner which made the whole experience one of the best on Amazon. I hope to do business again with her in the future!
WiseBuyer : Weak construction, not durable.
Weak. Thin, hollow, plastic tubing is what holds the front of the net up. Once that breaks (don't worry, it won't take long), the sharp metal edges then cut through the netting as well. The folding metal sides are pretty bendy. The pole itself is nice, and the expansion parts work well.
It does catch stuff and let water out... So it may be ok for light usage while fishing if you need something portable.
For a kid catching frogs and baby fish at the edge of a pond, it's junk. Lasted about a week.
Nghi v tran : Not a very sturdy net! broke on the first time i tried but the seller is amazing to replace
Overall i gave a 3 stars rate just because the seller is very good to replace a much better net , which is a very good net! But this net was broken in half right on the first time i used it . Very disppointed! but commend the seller.
Gary Goodnow : Great for snatching bats and other varmints from house and of course for netting fish!!
I got the "super strong aluminum" handle version of this item and glad I spent the extra few bucks on this version since I find it to be strong and yet lightweight. The telescoping handle easily extends to 5' and the net also folds onto the handle with the click of a lever which allows very compact storage. I was surprised at the size of the net and its either made from a rubberized material or is coated with it, and I think this will greatly reduce any tearing of the netting. I've found it great for netting up to 5 pound fish and that seems to be maybe the limit, but haven't really tried more. But the handle didn't bend or flex much at that weight. And a huge plus is how handy this thing will be around the house. I've already used it to snare a bat and remove it from the house humanely and caught a bird that flew in when the door was open for an extended period. I've spent hours trying to remove a bird in the past and with this, the bird was snared and released within 5 minutes. Pretty cool to have around the house for just stuff like this even if you don't fish.
Michelle M. : Lands fish...rescues birds
Net is great and functional in every way. We use ours non traditionally to rescue baby birds that wander into dangerous places as they fledge. Long reach makes alot of difference. Made a great fathers day gift.
