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: 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: 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.

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
Dave, Boston : good value for a big net. breaks if you scoop too aggressively
Just got this today, it's a telescoping fishing net. It telescopes, it scoops fish, and then folds away. Used it only once but it works. Good price and if it lasts more than one season with my kids, then I'll consider it a win!
Update. Net broke while aggressively swinging for fish just under the water. The aluminum broke just at the first extension junction. Can still use the net, not worth returning it, but disappointed.
Aanubabu : Stuck, otherwise very light/sturdy fishing net.
I recently used this fishing net in Boundary Waters, MN. It worked well during my seven-day fishing/canoeing trip. I left it unfolded in the canoe and just grabbed it and used it when I needed it. However, when it was time to pack up and fly back home, I had hard time folding it back. I had to use a pointed stone to hammer and push the slide button so that I could fold it. I am planning to use some WD40 and see if that works. Other than that, it worked very well for seven days of fishing. Update 7/10/21: The seller contacted me and offer a replacement, not that I needed it. I am impressed with the service and the newer net.
GT : Catch small fish
Broke the first day using it. Not heavy-duty at all. So if your catching fish they better be small ones. Lol One pro was it folded up nice and compact.
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.
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.
Odlanier Fiallo : Scam, cheap & disrespectful
Do not buy this piece of garbage. Total waste of money. It’ll break the moment it touches the water. This should be flagged as a scam, this isn’t a net. This is a ugly decoration for you to look at. It is literally dollar store cheap. To say build quality is poor its an understatement , 3rd world country builded for sure. See the photos i’ve attached, thats after one scoop only. One scoop broke it. I want my money back but amazon makes it’s extremely difficult to return items nowadays. I don't have the time to stand in line for a $10 minus shipping cost for a ttl of $7. Amazon wants us to stand at the ups store for $7. Smh whatever happen to sending us a shipping label, we drop of at a mail box and boom, we are done. Don’t make the mistake of purchasing this you’ll be disappointed.
GSLady : Folding feature not a plus
I was so excited to have this net for teaching about pond bugs. I thought the folding feature would be a big plus. The part of the ring that folds broke in the very first class! When I got home, I rethreaded the net in the hoop and duct-taped the hoop back together. I wasn't fishing with this, so nothing was heavy at all. The fix seems to be holding. Now the net doesn't want to fold. Something in the mechanism is corroded. I air it out after each use. (A test of the area and 3 classes) I have had the net only 2 months! I wouldn't buy this again.
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.
K in CO : Manufacturer Flaw - Almost Great Though
The handle, extension, foldout mechanism, and net are all five stars. The issue is the end tubing that attaches to the metal. It appears the metal is cut and the tubing is attached without sanding (smoothing out the metal edges). This sharp metal causes the tubing to be cut. This occurred on the second use.
So, the quality design and material are betrayed by manufacturing. Bummer.
Jon Collins : Looks really good!
Haven't had a chance to try it as we don't have ice yet and most of the good ones are hibernating, but this Spring I look forward to putting it to really good use! All the features are as described so it would make a great Koi pond net to retrieve your fish for the winter
B : Great design just a little weak
I'm constantly on the road and have compact durable fishing gear is a must. I typically fish for bass and pan fish. I enjoyed that the net could extend and fold into a small package. However after using it to land a bass and 3 panfish the housing on the poles 2nd extension bent. The 2nd extension now either cant fully tighten or extend and is stuck in place . The net is still usable with outfully extending it.
Steven J. Vincent : Handle broke on first use within 30 minutes
This product is a poorly made piece of junk. My son took it out to our neighborhood pond and used it for about 20-30 minutes before he came back home with it in two pieces and jagged metal edges and said it broke dad. There are numerous other reviews indicating this product is badly designed and the pole snaps in half under normal usage. The manufacturer of this needs to go back to the drawing board and use either heavier duty metal or redesign and reinforce the stress point as everyone who has had this issue shows a break in the same area. DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF...JUNK.
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.
R Kreischer : Handle and net are the length of TOOL
Hand is not 50 inches long, I believe the whole thing net and all is 50 inches. Has issues getting leaves off the bottom of the KOI pond. All and all not bad if you take your time, and USE two hands when lifting things out of your pond. Didnt realize I had to twist the extention tube at first to lock it in. But, after that it stays extended
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.
AlanS : Fits in My Tackle Box!
...and I don't have a large tackle box (19" wide). This thing addressed every need that was in my head and then some. I wanted something inexpensive and it was the least expensive by a lot as I recall. I wanted something easy to open and fold - check. I wanted it to fit in the bottom of my tackle box - check. I wanted it to be lightweight but sturdy enough to do the job - check. I wanted a full size net and mouth on the net - check. If it isn't obvious, I was impressed. I figured it would be a last resort kind of thing sitting in the bottom of my tackle box but it is a genuinely solid product.
Bruce Walters : Great product, and great customer service
I really liked this net when I purchased and took it out fishing. I like the light weight of it and the ease of folding it down to fit in a small tote. Its sturdiness didn't last and the handle broke when it was extended. Restcloud and its owners were great to work with, they responded to my inquiry fast and gave me a refund within days of hearing the net broke. They also sent me another one as a replacement for the one that broke. Thanks guys!
kala brewster : Best net there is
So impressed. We have bough so many nets and they never hold up. This net is perfect! It is every firm! The extension part is solid! We have used it for fishing, and catching frogs. You won’t find a better one. This is a family owned business and they checked in right away to make sure we were happy! I will be getting another one, and recommend to all!
Jefflyn Woodley : Telescoping handle screws down to keep it at the size you want.
As an avid fisherwoman. I can imagine catching a big ole red. My advice on this net is to have it open in the lock pisition before ever hooking a fish. I use a kayak and an open net is cumberson. I do have straps on kayak to where i can put an open net. If you catch a fish and then try to open you are gonna be in for a struggle as opening is a two hand operation. Unless you have someone who can help. The feature i do like is it is folding. The handle screws together to keep from telescoping. And this is a nice net. I am going to the coast in Oct and hopefully will be able to net a large fish.????????
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!
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.
Clo : Do not buy.
It is true it's compact and easy to carry around, but it's junk. First fish I caught got tangle in the net by trashing around, took a few minutes to release it. Second fish I caught the hook got stuck to the net by the eye even if most of it was in the fish mouth. After one use the hoop already don't click in position properly. Obviously the handle is bad quality and will break soon. Now the regular price for this net is nearly $25 I got it for $11 and I feel scammed. Do not believe that you are going to get a good deal because the price is down. Complete waste of money.

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.
Matthew : Fishing Net
When I first took the product out of the package I thought this was going to be junk. But it is working just fine. I have been scooping up good sized catfish without worry. It will not most likely handle a trophy cat but who knows! Well worth the money!

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.

Rose Reed : Multiple use product
I bought this product to use for snagging bats that somehow make their way into my home. My neighbor always brings his very large net to use and I got tired of having to call for help. Honestly...and thankfully, since I bought the net I haven't had an intrusion again. I'll be more than happy if this product is my good luck charm and I don't encounter any more of those pesky little creatures!
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.
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.
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.
GT : Catch small fish
Broke the first day using it. Not heavy-duty at all. So if your catching fish they better be small ones. Lol One pro was it folded up nice and compact.

Marianjm : A lifesaver, literally for my plecostemous!
My plecostemous outgrew my 75 gallon aquarium. Having grown from 1 1/2 inches to 16 inches in length, he desperately needed to be moved to my 120 gallon backyard pond. I tried to scoop him up in a mixing bowl, but couldn't catch him. I purchased this Restcloud fishing net specifically to move him from tank to pond. The net worked easily and safely to move my big boy without any trauma and with less stress than chasing him with a mixer bowl created. I will be keeping this net handy in case I need to upgrade his living accomodations again!
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!
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.
Jesse Beitz : Just what I needed!
I have a rather large pond and I needed to be able to catch the Koi from time to time and this net is perfect! Not expensive and extends so that I can go out almost 6 feet or more so it covers most of my pond and folds easily for storage. I would highly recommend it!.
WiseBuyer : Weak construction, not durable.

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.
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

Its sturdiness didn't last and the handle broke when it was extended. Restcloud and its owners were great to work with, they responded to my inquiry fast and gave me a refund within days of hearing the net broke. They also sent me another one as a replacement for the one that broke. Thanks guys!
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.
Rob Varney : needs to be stronger!!
When I received the net I was pretty excited, as I loved that it was so compact! First day out on the lake and was playing around catching little bluegill and it just broke in half.. I think the secret is not to extend it out. But then why buy this on, right? Just buy one that is sturdier and doesn't extend out. Great Idea but they went short on the stick part of the handle
Tui : Find a different telescoping net..
Not same as picture. Telescoping doesn't work well as it collapses on its own when touching water. Can't keep net straight as something in the telescoping seems broken.
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.
Leighj : Good quality
