Product Description
Landing nets are an important and necessary tool for all fishermen. However, because of their size and shape, they can be difficult to store and take up valuable space in your boat. But now with the KastKing Madbite folding landing nets, you can always have a high quality, lightweight net close at hand and never in the way.
Madbite nets are available in two sizes and because of the patent pending design, will quickly fold for easy storage in any boat. The smallest net is 20” long x 16” wide and 20” deep with a handle that extends to a full 45” long. The larger net is 24” long x 20” wide and 24” deep with a handle that extends to 76” long.
Easy storage is possible with the solid and secure, patented folding design made of industrial strength graphite combined with aluminum and stainless steel. This net is very light but will handle the biggest fresh and saltwater fish with ease and without flexing or weak points. This is the last net you’ll ever need and you’ll wonder why it has never been done before.
The net material is made of a rubber coated, hook friendly material that not only keeps hooks from getting tangled but is also gentle on fish for effective releases. After landing your fish you can quickly get a total length measurement by using the ruler that has been printed on the handle.
These nets weigh only 1.4 and 2 lbs and will store in their own storage case. Total storage size is only 27” long x 8” wide for the small net and 33” long x 10” wide for the larger model.

Questions about KastKing Fishing Net Folding Landing Net – Super Strong, Easy to Carry Store,as Strong as Heavy Duty One-Piece Landing Net…
Q:
Will this hold up to toothy fish? Kingfish/Mackeral/etc that are going to be released?
Answer: I believe so. The basket holds up to hooks and stuff fine, I guess if you left the fish in the net and let it chew on it it might wear it out lol.
Answer: The coated material used on this net will probably not hold up for netting toothy fish on a regular basis. There are folding nets by Stowaway that use the heavy twine but cost over 3x more.
Answer: It should hold up as well as any net
Answer: Your big are we talking? Just your run of the mill mackerel, yes. Kingfish >30" no.
Answer: I believe so, it's pretty sturdy. But I'm catching bad, trout, and salmon. So i can't say for certain
Answer: Absolutely!
Q:
Is this Saltwater marine durable?
Answer: Seems pretty durable so far however I have only owned mine for 6 months. It does feel sturdy
Answer: I would think so. The materials used in the design of this net is aluminum and graphite/plastic components with a rubber netting material. I really like this net. It works well for my bass fishing application.
Q:
Is this net knotless? I am in WA state and many of the waters are selective gear which specify that the net must be knotless.
Answer: It is rubber. No knots. And pretty big!!
Answer: It is knotless, the bottom is sewn in with a strip.
Answer: Yes. Its rubber.
Q:
The nut on the inside of the net handle popped off can I get a replacement nut?
Answer: Call kastking. Kastking.com has phone number
Answer: I’m sure a hardware store will have one.
Q:
what is the top rim of the net like? The ones that collapse inward are very flexible at the top which isnt good for scooping frogs, crayfish etc out
Answer: The top rim locks into place and seems quite sturdy and strong. You should not have too much trouble scooping frogs and crayfish. However I would be cautious netting a large fish (say something more than 20 pounds).
Answer: The hoop of this net is ridged. I don’t notice any flexing of the bow. I use the net for bass, walleye and occasional northern pike. Hope this sheds some light on your concerns.
Q:
how big are the holes?
Answer: Small hole net. One downside for me.
Q:
Can you buy replacement net for this one
Answer: At this time we do not sell replacement nets.
Q:
Why this net in not made larger? For big saltwater fish a hoop 40 wide needed???
Answer: Check out Frabill nets!
Q:
What is the best way to attach a lanyard to the handle? I like to wade and it would be nice to attach to my waders
Answer: Hi Robert,
Answer: I would just drill a hole in the handle. Its aluminum so no worries their. If you are concerned a little touch up paint should do it.
Q:
How does this net do with treble hooks? Do they get hung up in the netting?
Answer: I don't have this particular net, mine is the KastKing Fishing Net Folding Landing Net, but I find it pretty awesome. trebles may get hung a bit, but I've not noted the hook penetrating the net material which has been where the real problems lie... Hope this helps!
Answer: Its is a great net.no hook hang ups to mention .well made.a great buy.been fishing 40 yrs.great net
Answer: No. I love this net!
Answer: Have not had any problems with any kind of hooks or line.
Q:
How come the images are not showing the MadBite net but the video does? What net would i get if ordered?
Answer: While I got the MadBite net when I ordered this I can't say for sure you will? I would assume you will get the same as I did.
Answer: It gives you the options of which net you want in the drop down menu .. I've got both sizes and they're very good nets for the price ....
Answer: I didn't notice that they were different. i got the one shown in the video.
Q:
Net parts the part that folds on the handle
Q:
What is the diameter of the net mesh holes?
Answer: A little less than 1/2”
Answer: A little less than 1/2”
Q:
Is this net strong enough to handle large catchfish between 10-30 pounds
Answer: I have the largest landing net (24" with extended handle) available and I routinely catch large flathead, blue and channel cats in both rivers and lakes. I was able to land a 40 lb flathead, with the handle fully extended, while reaching into a fast current river. You should be fine.
Answer: I probably would not recommend this for fish that big especially if you are catching them that large of a regular basis. I mainly use mine for bass and crappie which it's perfect for.
Answer: Absolutely with question!
Answer: Yes it is capable.
Q:
Is the 24" version big enough for salmon and steelhead?
Answer: Should be it's pretty big net!!
Q:
Iam looking for a landing net approx 20 x 20 x 24 with a fixed alumium pole of 6 plus feet. I plan to use it to pick up garbage floating in our canal
Answer: Hi There,
Answer: The two piece telecopic handle on this net can be fixed at full length. However the handle length is less than 6 feet.
Answer: It is 76” from the end of net to end of pole when it is full extended
Answer: It’s a telescoping ole but very sturdy. I would recommend for your application
Answer: So what is your question????
Answer: Was there a question here?
Q:
Is the large (24") net too heavy to use with one hand while rod is in other hand??
Answer: You can do it with one hand but it's difficult that's why I always have somebody in the boat to land the fish
Answer: No it is not too heavy.
Answer: No
Q:
Will the 20" depth accommodate landing a 24" to 36" Steelhead? I don't want a huge net in the boat.
Answer: I think that any fish more than about 24" in length would be a tight squeeze to get into this net. I do fine with trout and redfish in the 20-26" range. The net sides are essentially straight down and the net is about 12" deep. So it depends on how big your fish are likely to be. It is less than half the size of the net our guides carried when we were fly fishing for salmon in Michigan.
Answer: Hi Ajs,
Answer: The longest carp I landed was over 30” and 20 + lbs so I think it will serve your needs.
Answer: Yes, I routinely use this net to land big flathead, blue and channel catfish. It's very sturdy and should hold up well to those big steelhead. As another user has noted, the case is terrible but I always keep mine in a big bucket anyway. My favorite feature of this net is it's extreme sturdiness when fully extended. I usually fish in fast river currents so I need a reliable landing net.
Answer: Mine is fine for 24” rainbow but unsure about 36” steelhead
Answer: Yes it will. But, the case is terrible. The zipper broke twice. I returned it once but the second on broke too.
Q:
are there 2 models? I want the one that extends to 76 in.
Answer: Hi Paul,
Q:
What is the maximum weight capacity this net can hold while fully extended?
Answer: I've lifted my 35 lb. Toddler with the handle fully extended. Don't know what the max weight it can handle, but it's very sturdy.
Answer: I've landed a 40 lb flathead cat, with the handle fully extended, and it showed no signs of bending or breaking. Most sturdy net I've owned.
Answer: I haven’t tested it for maximum wt but I haven’t had any issues with fish in the 5 pound area. Great net!!!
Answer: Not sure. We have netted some really big fish.
Q:
Will this net handle Stripers 33"-40" and 17#-25#?
Answer: Hello,
Answer: Yes this net will easily handle big stripers no problem
Answer: No, it is not deep enough nor wide enough to handle that size of fish. hope this helps.
Q:
will this fit in a suitcase?
Answer: That would depend on the size of the suitcase. The smaller net is 20” long x 16” wide x 20” deep. The larger net is 24” long x 20” wide X 24” deep. The folded size for storage is either 27” long x 8” wide or 33” long x 10” wide and they weigh just 1.4 or 2 lbs.
Answer: The smaller version would fit in most suitcases and larger is slightly (6") longer. The dimensions (closed or stored) are either 27” long x 8” wide for the small or 33” long x 10” wide for the large net. They both store flat and are maybe 2" thick.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Is this suitable to land striped bass from rocky inlet?
Answer: Yes
Q:
I see the net material is rubber coated but what type of material is the netting itself? Is it nylon or fabric etc.
Answer: I'm going to guess fabric. Its rubber coated so fabric would adhere the best. Its a good net so far.
Q:
can you use this for catching baitfish?
Answer: This net is versatile and can surly catch bait fish. You do want to consider the size of bait fish vs the size of the holes.
Answer: I bought it to catch my rogue chickens.
Answer: Yes, you can if you're quick enough. Although I recommend hook and line over it.
Q:
Is there supposed to be a stoper to keep the pole from coming completely out?
Answer: Yes my pole does not come out. Been using all year now. Probley 50 fish in it. I have never had the pole come all the way out.
Answer: Yes there is a cap on end of pole to stop pole from coming out. It’s a screw in type and comes with pole. I’m thinking it’s for extension of the pole or attachment like lure retriever.
Answer: I agree. You can see it in the product photo if you use the zoom feature. I have not had either section of my net come disconnected.
Q:
Would this work for catching chickens?
Answer: It is a great net for water use because of the rubber coating on the net. It may be harmful on delicate feathers.
Q:
What is the diameter of the net mesh holes?
Answer: A little less than 1/2”
Answer: A little less than 1/2”
Q:
Obviously not big enough for a 30lb King Salmon?
Answer: That is a pretty safe assumption. I have used it for trout, bass, etc. Big game fish would require a bigger net.
Q:
Could this net hold up catching Blue Crabs?
Answer: It’s a pretty strong net I think it would but you will tear it up faster
Answer: Awesome net love it
Answer: I can’t really be sure, but if you’re down scraping the bottom most of the time I’m leaning towards saying no it wouldn’t hold up
Q:
Is this net knotless? I am in WA state and many of the waters are selective gear which specify that the net must be knotless.
Answer: It is rubber. No knots. And pretty big!!
Answer: It is knotless, the bottom is sewn in with a strip.
Answer: Yes. Its rubber.
Q:
I am trying to buy this for my husband for Christmas. He fishes for steelhead and salmon. Is this a good net for that and which size should i get?
Answer: I think this net would work for your application. These nets are really clever and well made. I specifically wanted a net that folded up to use in my boat. Works like a charm. I would recommend that the largest size would be best for salmon and steelhead.
Answer: This is the smaller one which I thought was to small in photo. Turned out perfect. Nice extension and net. I’d say 15-20 lbs you would be able to. 20lbs or more the bigger net probably the way to go.
Answer: It will work good for your husband. Its light weight and durable and big enough also. I would recommend the biggest size for salmon and steelhead. Especially for the price its a great net.
Answer: Get the large size. I use it for salmon too, although I wish it was a bit bigger. It’s portability is a feature that’s hard to beat.
Q:
Which size is this listing for?! Large or Medium?
Answer: Medium....but plenty big. Quality product and am quite pleased
Answer: You would typically make your selection from the drop down menu. At this time the larger net is sold out, so only the 20" is offered.
Q:
Is this 20" net have a handle that extends or not, pic says it doesn't but drawing shows it does, can u please let me know ? Thanks in advanced
Answer: On the net I got the handle collapses into the net frame making the net much shorter for packing. The handle will then extend out of the net. So collapsed the net is about 27.5" long and extended it is about 45.5" total length. The handle itself does not "telescope" into itself or extend to make the handle longer. The handle is a a fixed length.
Answer: Yes, the handle extends 50 inches and twists for a secure "lock". From the very front of the net to the tip of the handle fully extended is 67 inches.
Answer: Yes...It does extend.
Answer: It extends
Answer: Yes, it extends
Q:
what's the difference between the fixed and telescopic handles if they both fold/collapse?
Answer: I would think with the fixed handle net the handle doesn’t collapse into the net but the net folds?
Q:
20" net handle is set ? and does not extend? if so what is the length shortest to longest while extended. ?
Answer: The smallest net is 20” long x 16” wide and 20” deep with a handle that extends to a full 45” long.
Q:
For the 24 inch hoop net, can the 2nd piece of the handle be extended partially only or does it have to be fully extended to lock it down?
Answer: It doesn't have to be fully extended , pull it out as far as you need and tighten the lock ring ... Great net , Salmon up to 30lbs were no problem ....
Answer: It can be partially extended and locked down.
Q:
Could this handle a 40" Northern Pike?
Answer: The dimensions of the larger net are: 24” long x 20” wide X 24” deep. It is reinforced and should be fine to catch larger fish.
Answer: I think so , I’ve landed 44” redfish with it . I live in Louisiana , and using it fishing seams to be holding up to the brackish water we have . I do like that it extends out also .
Q:
What is the Warranty?
Answer: Amazon replaced it once.
Q:
What what is the overall extended length length from the end of the handle to the end of the net.
Answer: 5 feet. It’s a nice net and design
Answer: 60 inches. Definitely long enough
Answer: 6 feet
Q:
Do you get both nets?
Answer: No, you only get one net. This depicts the various positions of the telescoping handle. This is a great net, no bones about it. Buy one!
Answer: You purchase the net of your choice. The photo shows two nets but each is separate option.
Answer: One net
Answer: No. I believe the illustration is show the size differences.
Q:
Can this net carry heavy fish like carp?
Answer: Yes, this net can handle large fish, we have different sizes to choose from.
Answer: Any fish that you can get into the net, it will hold securely, but chose the size net for the size of fish you expect to catch.
Answer: yes
Q:
Can this net be used to catch minnows? Or collecting smaller fish in streams?
Answer: The net should work fine on small fish down to a couple inches and on fish that I have caught that were 20". I can't remember but I think the net "holes" are about 1/4" or so. I only wish the handle was a little bit longer for boat use so I could reach out a little farther.
Answer: This is a really nice net. Well made and easy storing but I don’t think it would work for minnows.
Answer: No
Q:
Does it float?
Answer: Hi there,
Answer: No.
Q:
is this the large verzion or smaller one ?
Answer: The smaller net is 20” long x 16” wide x 20” deep.
Answer: Large
Answer: The smaller one is pictured on the right.
Answer: The one I had purchased was the small landing net.
Q:
When will you have the large telescopic one with the 24in net?
Q:
I would use it for surf fishing, standing waist deep. Can the net be used without extending the handle?
Answer: Hi Toh,
Answer: You should, when you move the handle into place it clears the net opening
Answer: Yes
Q:
How do you keep the shaft from rotating so that the measuring metrics are always on top?
Answer: Hi there,
Answer: You could extend the larger first section and tighten the twist lock with the numbers are up. Although it still might turn. I find extending the smaller handle section isn’t really needed.
Q:
Would this work to catch bats inside the house? Awwwwkkkk
Answer: Yes
Q:
Can this be used in salt water without corrosion?
Answer: yes. This net is great for salt or freshwater. It has an Aluminum Handle & Net Frame, as well as graphite components so it will not corrode.
Product reviews of KastKing Fishing Net Folding Landing Net – Super Strong, Easy to Carry Store,as Strong as Heavy Duty One-Piece Landing Net…
Stuart Wetley : Compact storage, extension capability
So far we like everything about this net, option for a larger webbing components would prevent treble hooks snagging up in the webbing, and we use this product for netting fish
Thomas Farlow : Great Net
I have used this net, not for a couple of kayak fishing trips and I have to say this is a great net!! I love that it folds up and is easily storable. The handle extends out to give you extra length if you need it. I also like the measurements on the handle so if I was to forget my measuring board I can at least get a measurement using the handle on my net. Great product I would highly recommend it.
Bill : Price Point / Different Bag
In the picture it shows the storage bag with printing saying Madbite Madly Different, the one I received says Kastking Affordable Innovations , thought I was getting the one in the picture. would prefer the Madebite thats what they are showing. Nets tough to open definitely not a one hander maybe with use it will get easier. All in All for the price point seems to to be a good purchase. Time will tell if the quality stands up.
Jon : Can't use this net when it's broken!
The mechanism for extending or retracting the net does not work well. I used the net for 1 day of fishing and it worked well. However, on the next day, I could not get the net to extend and ended up unintentionally breaking the handle off while trying to extend the pole. It should have been a simple case of twisting the tightening, loosening knob but proved to be anything but easy. The net is sturdy and lightweight. I've purchased and used several Kast King products through the years and this is the only one I've had any trouble with.
chmwash : Handle will fall off
The handle will pull completely out of the hoop making it useless. I managed to put it back in but lost the fish. It should have something on the end of the handle to prevent it from coming all the way out. Purchased in December 2019. Used it a handful of times. I like the net otherwise, just disappointed because of handle.
Eric Wiaderny : Madbite compact net
Just recently I noticed that my old fishing net had a hol while I was at my first kayak bass tournament and needed a new one. Checked out KastKing’s product and notice that they release a fishing net just at the right time when I was looking to get a new one. I really love how compact this net is and folds in half for easy storage in my kayak or in my truck. It’s got a nice cover when your not using the net to keep it preserved in good condition when on the road. With them tossing a measurement is a nice bonus especially when I do kayak bass tournament I can use that to see if I can upgrade a fish size faster then unfolding my measure board behind me.
The never is highly quality.
I highly recommend getting this net especially the price for it is great and I love mine. Excited to use it for my next tournament.

ML : Everything You Need In A Net
The fishing net is high quality and built to last. Time will tell if that becomes a fact. As other reviews have stated the carrying case is cheap. Zipper came off track after only a few times of use. But I didn’t purchase the net for the carrying case so I am happy with my purchase.
JP Lawrence : Great for a boat with limited space
I've got a 16.5' Alumacraft boat, which has limited floor space. I'm not a fan of letting things sit out on the deck because they could get kicked, tripped over, or broken. There is also the issue of transport.
I was looking for a net that would be sturdy and compact. Collapsible nets I've used in the past don't seem to be very sturdy. But on getting this, I'm actually quite pleased with this. I've not used this on any giant fish (mostly moderately sized pike), but I have fairly good confidence that it could handle a larger fish without failing. I love that I can collapse it down to fit in a rod locker. Definitely would recommend this net.

jones : Great Net, Issues with Telescopic Pole 60cm after Unboxing
Immediately after unboxing, I had issues with the extension part of the handle (Telescopic Pole 60cm). The engineering of the telescopic part of the handle is cheaply made. The rest of the product seems like it is durable and high quality, but if I had to purchase again I would recommend not purchasing the telescopic pole 60cm. If I could exchange the product for the 50cm Fixed pole without hassle I most definitely would. Other than that it seems to be a great product so far. Will update feedback in the future.
Chris McVey : If you're in the market for a net, look no further
This net is a HUGE upgrade to the Madbite nets that were previously available. The hoop size is wider and deeper and the handle is very powerful and convenient. Received my new KastKing/MadBite net yesterday and it got a lot of use already. Sturdy, elegant yet compact and strong. Oh, and it's conservation friendly and it won't twist and tangle when fish want to thrash about.
S. Davis : Real solid net for the money
This was the third net I tried from Amazon. The hoop part is about 24 inches long, and its fits pretty well in the gunnel holder on my Bass Cat Caracal. The extend and lock in operation is easy to do, its got a stopper at the end of the bar (unlike one of the other ones I tried). Its a solid bass tournament net, great size. Strong value for the $$ net
RickyN29 : I'm impressed!
I somewhat thought this would be cheap and flimsy but I must say I am impressed! Nice giant net with long pole that collapses down to a very small size. I have used it on my trips and so far and it has been working great!
Hatchetjoe : Good but not Great!
I've used this net for about 9 months for inshore fishing from my 12 foot canoe. The net has easily handled a number of redfish and trout. I don't usually net fish I don't want to keep like jacks and ladyfish.
Pros:
Frame and handle are very sturdy and rigid,
Folding mechanism works well and seems to be holding up well,
Extension and locking of the handle work well,
Nice size for my type of fishing. It's easy to get a 30" fish in the net while seated in the canoe.
Cons
Mesh of the net is smaller than it needs to be unless you want to scoop up fish in the 6" range,
Rubber coating is thin making it easy for hooks to tangle. I haven't had a hook go into the net fibers but I'm afraid it will happen. If the mesh was larger and the coating thicker it would be a lot easier to unhook fish and get them out of the net along with the lure.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase and will keep using the net but I find my other net that I keep on my bay boat quicker and easier to use with its thicker and larger mesh.

Tony : Durability Questioned / Broke on first use.
First time out with this net and it broke and the handle is loose. The cap at the end of the pole (on the net side) popped off and will not screw in. It is a plastic piece. The handle on the user-end is loose. Came home from fishing and puit request for return. I like the "foldability" and size but have zero confidence in the net after the first use. Frabill net as a replacement ordered.
Amazon Customer : HORRIBLE!!
I bought this net for the 2020 late run of Sockeye on the Kenai River. The net did not last 3 days before the pole bent and 6 days into the trip the top hinge broke. It looks cool, but it is absolutely worthless piece of sh!t. I would not recommend this net to my worse enemy. Please save your money and buy a better quality net.
Sincity Sinner : Fits a big fish.
The catch of the extension came apart and when I landed a 30 inch 28 pound carp the extension bent slightly. I probably should've grabbed it more towards the hoop but was fishing from a bank with about a 3 foot drop. I liked the net very much though. I would recommend buying it.
SherpaK : Good, but could be better! Note: Net does NOT float
I received the large sized net, and was fortunate to be headed out fishing. We caught a number of bass in the 2-4 lb range, and the net worked extremely well for most lures, but struggled with the treble hooks. I will say, however, that the net was better than my previous nylon net, but it would benefit by larger holes.
What I liked: net was smooth to set up and extend. The handle locked easily, and did not need to be extended to be used. We did use the ruler, which is nice for larger fish (and bragging rights!). Flat bottom makes it much easier to release fish.
What I didn't like: hole size on the net. Not bad, but larger holes would be better.
Overall, I expect many years of use, and am happy with this purchase.
UPDATE: I lowered the rating to 2 stars. THE NET DOES NOT FLOAT. I watched mine sink to the bottom today after landing a fish.

DJ : Bad design. Fatal flaw.
Returned immediately. Bad design. There is nothing to keep the net from falling off the handle with a heavy fish other than a friction-twist mechanism. No hard stop at all.
SG : This is perfect for my Kayak and shore fishin!
This is perfect for my Kayak and shore fishin!
I got this net a while ago and had to use it before I could write a review. This net folds for storage and for traveling purposes and it works great! The net is a coated rope so your hooks never get stuck(my favorite part).I got the smallest net for the purpose of my kayak, But i still used it for kayaking fishing on shore and it worked great. I have no doubt in my mind the the longer version would be perfect for fishing for muskies and catfish. I might just have to buy myself another one coming up!

The net is a coated rope so your hooks never get stuck(my favorite part).I got the smallest net for the purpose of my kayak, But i still used it for kayaking fishing on shore and it worked great.

Nicole : Great net. Poor bag
I like to keep my things organized and easy to get to when I’m on my boat. And when I’m loading and packing up to get back in the road, I also like to be quick and efficient. This net allows me to do just that with one major drawback only: A TERRIBLE BAG.
I unzipped the bag once to take the net out and the zipper pretty much disintegrated. Now the net is just loose in one of my storage compartments and it snags whatever it comes in contact with.
Great net, it really is, but the storage bag needs work. A better zipper would solve this all.

Jay Oliver : Second one worked
The first one I received locked up on the outer extension handle and would not go back together. I sent it back and received a replacement. Second one is working like it should and I do like it. I had a $100 Stowmaster similar in size that's a good net, but now they're $130. As long as this one keeps working, I like it better. It's easier to put together and store than the Stowmasters.

bsufan82642 : Not great
This net will fold but after use in saltwater it is very hard to fold and unfold. Net mesh gets easily tangled in hooks and I have had to cut hooks out.
John Hardin : Not impressed
Not impressed with the screw tension handle. You better get it ready before you need it. First time I tried to extend handle it came apart on me. Pretty expensive for the quality.
JP Lawrence : Great for a boat with limited space
I've got a 16.5' Alumacraft boat, which has limited floor space. I'm not a fan of letting things sit out on the deck because they could get kicked, tripped over, or broken. There is also the issue of transport.
I was looking for a net that would be sturdy and compact. Collapsible nets I've used in the past don't seem to be very sturdy. But on getting this, I'm actually quite pleased with this. I've not used this on any giant fish (mostly moderately sized pike), but I have fairly good confidence that it could handle a larger fish without failing. I love that I can collapse it down to fit in a rod locker. Definitely would recommend this net.

Thunder O. : Cheap Bag Zipper Broke
I live in Wisconsin where there's currently ice on the water and this net bag broke already - without even having it out on the water yet!!!! I have literally opened the bag zipper twice. Once to show my wife the net and the second (when it broke) to show a buddy. He laughed but I didn't find it so funny. Feel like I wasted $45.
This does not give me an ounce of faith on how the actual net is going to perform when I need to net a fish.

basswalker3 : Good net
Got this for my husband after his last net tore. He says it works better than his original net so all is well!
DJ : Bad design. Fatal flaw.
Returned immediately. Bad design. There is nothing to keep the net from falling off the handle with a heavy fish other than a friction-twist mechanism. No hard stop at all.
Miguel Melenciano : Finally!
So I didn't even get the biggest size net, and... Wow! Enough said. This is by far the best net I've ever had. Huge, durable craftsmanship, and sleek as heck, and it breaks down nicely! I thought this would be clutch and perfect size for the boat, but its sturdy and long enough for land too.. and I mean if you're style is hauling tail through the woods and getting to those hard to reach ponds and creeks... then this is a must buy. Nice addition to the repetaur!
Christopher Daniel Bright : Poor quality control!
The net seems to be fine but the bag it comes in was a different story. The zipper was broken when I took it out of the box! Quality control needs a serious revamp if this made it to my door broken in the box!
ML : Everything You Need In A Net
The fishing net is high quality and built to last. Time will tell if that becomes a fact. As other reviews have stated the carrying case is cheap. Zipper came off track after only a few times of use. But I didn’t purchase the net for the carrying case so I am happy with my purchase.
Mike Snow : Broke just after return period
The net doesn't extend easily (you have to pull a bit). The extension part came out of the handle. The net was not abused and was only used a couple of times. Some of Kastking's stuff is a good value. This net wasn't.
S. Davis : Real solid net for the money
This was the third net I tried from Amazon. The hoop part is about 24 inches long, and its fits pretty well in the gunnel holder on my Bass Cat Caracal. The extend and lock in operation is easy to do, its got a stopper at the end of the bar (unlike one of the other ones I tried). Its a solid bass tournament net, great size. Strong value for the $$ net
Tony : Durability Questioned / Broke on first use.
First time out with this net and it broke and the handle is loose. The cap at the end of the pole (on the net side) popped off and will not screw in. It is a plastic piece. The handle on the user-end is loose. Came home from fishing and puit request for return. I like the "foldability" and size but have zero confidence in the net after the first use. Frabill net as a replacement ordered.
bounmy saelee : KastKing Fishing Net Folding Landing Net
this is great item i love it the minute i open the box and see the item...first time use on the water its amazing i recommend to everyone try it, i will buy another one soon. thanks
Chef MB : KastKing does it again!
First impression is great - feels like a solid folding net. It has a very positive lock when opening the net. The handle has an easy-to-use lock and feels sturdy enough to land the hogs. Looking forward to landing my first Chrome soon.
Andrew Sawyer : Seemed great at first, but then . . .
This seemed like a great landing net initially, sturdy enough to land a steelhead salmon on the first use. Then in the middle of a back country fishing trip the extension handle came apart as I was extending it and a part flew off into the lake. Fortunately I was able to repair it for the trip with super glue and Gorilla tape, but it no longer retracts. This was only the third time I used it.
I am giving it 2 stars not 1 because it does seem to be well made in other respects, but this seems like a fatal flaw.

Out West with Chris : A Net Well Done!
I've used this net on several kayak fishing trips now and I really like it. Gotta appreciate the rubberized net, way easier on the fish, and the extendable handle makes this great for bank, boat, or kayak fishing.
Jake : Great Value for this lightweight folding net!
I definitely love how light weight this net is. I went fishing with it and had it in the side pocket of my fishing backpack and I had to keep looking back to see if it was still in there! LOL Also I like how it folds which is really great! Great value for what I paid!
Amazon Customer : Durability
Have not used this net yet but it appears to be pretty well made. Interested to see how it holds up. Going to be netting lots of 4 to 12 pound channel cats this summer. And lots of 3 to 8 lb. Trout this fall. The only real possible weakness I see is the plastic latching mechanism for the folding head. Love the compact design!
basswalker3 : Good net

duncan koch : Huge Net!
This net is huge! 6 pound bowfin barely fills it. But this is a very solid colapseable extendable net. My first one had an issue with the glue on the collar holding the extendable handle almost immediately. It was replaced quickly without issue and I've had zero problems with this one. Hence the lil loss in sturdiness.
B.Craighead : Great present for a fisherman
My dad loves it! It was a great present first fisherman. He has a regular size boat but now he can always have a net folded in a compartment. Only issue there was is that the case lost its zipper the first day I gave it to him.
Eric Wiaderny : Madbite compact net
Just recently I noticed that my old fishing net had a hol while I was at my first kayak bass tournament and needed a new one. Checked out KastKing’s product and notice that they release a fishing net just at the right time when I was looking to get a new one. I really love how compact this net is and folds in half for easy storage in my kayak or in my truck. It’s got a nice cover when your not using the net to keep it preserved in good condition when on the road. With them tossing a measurement is a nice bonus especially when I do kayak bass tournament I can use that to see if I can upgrade a fish size faster then unfolding my measure board behind me.
The never is highly quality.
I highly recommend getting this net especially the price for it is great and I love mine. Excited to use it for my next tournament.

Jacqueline Lachance : Seems rugged
Bought this as a Christmas present so it hasn’t been used yet. But I did take it out to look at it & make sure it opened/extended properly in case I had to return. It seems pretty rugged & it was easy to open & extend. The netting is kinda rubbery, hopefully it’s strong. When it came, it was in a box with other items & didn’t have any packaging of its own, just the carrying case. The case was FILTHY!! It looked like it had been sliding across a dirty floor. Im hoping the material of the case will wipe off fairly easy, but some sort of packaging would prevent that. I definitely wouldn’t have bought it in a store like that Other than that, based on my first impression I think it will be a decent net.
Mike Clinton : Feels like quality!
I've this net. I might of went to big for my needs. The smaller size would probably of been fine. But I love how strong this feels. Beats nets not that are not colasible. The case is weak, zipper broke before I got it out on the water but I didn't buy it for the case.
