Questions about Fiblink Folding Aluminum Fishing Landing Net Fish Net with Extending Telescoping Pole Handle
Q:
what is the total carrying weight ?
Answer: Extremely light! I would guess maybe a pound or two. Not much more. With the cover it is very easy to hold. carry or tie down to a pack.
Answer: The folding fishing net weighs about 2.5 lbs. comes in its own containment bag and stores well.
Answer: So far I bagged up to a 15lb striper with no issue
Answer: have scoped up 40 lbs drum a few times
Q:
Would this work for lobstering? Not too bouyant?
Answer: I've never lobstered, but it has nice length, is sturdy and handles 3-5 lb. bass and catfish with no problem.
Answer: Thank you for the question. It is crap. I read bad reviews and I said to myself "Self, everybody has problems, certainly it will be fine" It was not fine. It was already coming apart at the bottom of the net. DO NOT BUY from this company if this is how they make things
Q:
What is the mesh diameter? Looking to scoop anchovies for tuna
Answer: looks like about 3/8" mesh
Q:
Can the net be removed
Answer: i think so the net. the net is just slide around it, unscrew the loop and it should come off(?)
Answer: No reason to change it. The net will last for years.
Answer: No I don’t believe so.
Q:
Can you catch minnows and other smaller bait fish or are the holes too big?
Answer: The holes are small enough to catch minnows.
Answer: We've actually been catching minnows with it today. Seems perfect for that.
Answer: Net is in my FL home but as I recall holes are than 1 inch.
Q:
Could this be unassembled and put in a large suitcase?
Answer: I don't believe you woul need to disassemble as the net portion colapses to about four five inches wide. Comes with a storage bag,
Answer: The net is 40 inched long.. as I RECALL THE NET CAME ASSEMBLED but collapsed.
Q:
Does the handle lock in place when folded up?
Answer: No, it doesn’t “lock” in the storage/travel position when not deployed. It securely locks when unfolded and ready to use. I see no use for it to lock in the storage position. When fishing with it, it deploys fast when needed.
Answer: Yes, Locks up to stow on your boat nicely!
Answer: Yes it does. It will fit in the bag that comes with it as well. Seems to be a good one for me, so far.
Q:
can it be used to dip minnows or are holes too big
Answer: holes way too big
Answer: I think the holes are too big.
Answer: Too big
Answer: I've caught smaller than 1 inch minnows and shrimp

Answer: No still cheap plastic handle
Q:
Is there another version of this net with a smaller hoop?
Q:
Is there a replacement net only?
Answer: Hmmm, I wouldn't think you would need to replace this net any time soon, as good as it is!
Q:
What type of material this fishing net made of ?
Answer: It's a fabric, not a rubberized material.
Q:
I fish off a Pier I need a 12 foot long pole. Is this long enough
Answer: I have used it to fish off from a 10 foot bridge but it is very difficult to maneuver the net around with one arm and hand while doing the same with a good size Walleye on the other end of your line and fishing pole. I would to be honest with you you should buy yourself a drop net for fishing off from that 12 foot wall rather than this extendable fishing net. My opinion only from using the net in question 10 to 12 feet above the water... I use a drop net instead.
Answer: No it is only 80 inches.
Answer: It is long enough. But I only use it for catching grass shrimp(bait). I wouldn't put anything heavier than a 5 pound fish in it.
Q:
How do you fold it once opened?
Answer: at the base of the net, there is a grey thumb latch, pull down towards the handle and the net should release to the fold position
Answer: watch how it opens then press the net release and reverse the process
Q:
Is the net strong enough to pull up a turtle with heavy muck?
Answer: This is a great net but a scoop net is not the rim is just nylon in the front dropped my flashlight the other day and couldn't scoop it up on a sand covered concrete bottom
Answer: Its a good net, but what you may need is a backhoe.
Q:
Can it land saltwater striped bass?
Answer: Well I actually returned this, not because of quality, just because it is actually very good for landing big fish,
Answer: I wouldn't use it for that. It's a great net for bait,but not for a big striper.
Answer: It should. I caught a small shark in the net
Answer: i wouldn't think so. 16-20"
Answer: I've landed 40+ lb black drum but mostly use it for scooping blue crabs off side of Seawall
Q:
Will the material handle hooks from getting stuck or tangled?
Answer: Have had no problems with hooks getting stuck or tangled any more than with any other quality net.
Answer: Yes but the bigger rubber netting is better less tangling!
Answer: It is not rubber coated, so hooks can get caught in the net. But I love the net, stores easily and it is very strong.
Answer: Unfortunately I have not had a chance to use it yet. but I like the design and don't believe there will be any issues with that area of the net.
Q:
Will the handle rotate of the collets are not locked down?
Answer: I don’t ever lock mine down and have had no issues, really like this net
Answer: The handle is fixed.
Answer: It rotates down and closes.
Answer: yes, it will rotate. You have to know how to use the equipment. It's not difficult.
Answer: If you don't tighten them down, Yes!
Q:
Can you replace the net?
Answer: Our products have one year warranty,please feel free to contact seller if there is anything wrong the net and we'll help you replace it.
Q:
can the net be changed out for another (round, wide mouth)?
Answer: I imagine you could cut off the net and add a new one but this is a really great net-we use it for large mouth bass and catfish in Eastern WA
Answer: It would be easier to buy a round net.
Answer: No the design will not let you change out nets
Q:
Has anyone used this for saving butterflies who get caught in a high tunnel/greenhouse? Can it work for that?
Answer: Not sure but I think the net that comes with it would be too heavy and injure the butterflies
Answer: No. You need a butterfly net. The net material is totally different.
Answer: The gaps in the net portion would be too large I believe. Though I have tried it to capture butterflies.
Q:
I need a long handle net to catch guinea hens that roost in the rafters of our barn. Would they be too heavy for the net? (approx 5lbs)
Answer: No. The net can handle 5lbs.
Answer: I believe that this would work okay. It's a pretty sturdy net.
Answer: Net is strong should be fine
Q:
Is there a way th attach a wrist loop to the end of the handle?
Answer: I suppose you could drill a hole and run something thru the handle. Could work great!
Answer: No and honestly I would not buy this net it is so hard to get the fish into it because there is no piece of metal across the front of the net
Q:
I'm looking for a telescoping net to use for crabbing from docks and piers with a hand line. Will this be useful or should I look for something else?
Answer: This is a great net for fish but I don't know how it will work for a pier if it is a long way down. If you are worried about the netting I think it will hold but it will depend on if the crab gets it and cuts through it-we use it for good sized catfish, bass and trout and it is awesome but I am not sure about for crabs.
Answer: I'm not familiar with crabbing. This is a nice durable net, I don't have the longest one but I love the one I have.
Answer: I have done a lot of crabbing from docks. I do not think this would be your best choice.
Answer: Can't help as I don't know what a hand line is.
Answer: This is not good . It's broke 1st day. TY
Answer: I think it would work ok for you
Answer: That's exactly what I use mine for caught about 40 blue crab two nights ago in 3 hours it works awesome on a concrete Seawall but not so well on the bottom haven't mastered that technique yet
Q:
what size art the hole in the mesh?
Answer: About 1/4 inch nylon mesh. Only weak point is the latch that locks the net, but if you rinse and lube it no problems. Very sturdy net for fish to 10-15 lbs.
Answer: The holes are rectangle shape about 1/8 x 1/4 inch . It is about the size of a black eye pea. I hope this will help you.
Q:
what is the width & length of the net opening?
Answer: foldable fishing net: Extend Length max.: 118" | Handle Length: 40"-100"(extendable) | Net Depth: 17" | Perimeter of the triangle Hoop: 65" | 40" when fully collapsed. Hope that answer your question.
Answer: 21 inches wide and 17 inches long opening
Q:
can i order a replacement net??
Answer: I don't know I havent had to
Q:
Are the pole components supposed to lock in place when fully extended? Connectors seem to be there, but when you twist them they just spin freely.
Answer: Rotate the connector clockwise, tighten it!
Answer: Yes, you need to open fully.
Q:
I need to know the size of the mesh please ? I want to use the longest model for catching shrimp . Will it work for large shrimp?
Answer: Yes PERFECT! Well made collapsing telescoping net. From base of handle to the net 41.5 ". Netting will handle small shrimp also. Buy Two!
Answer: Im sure it will work for large shrimp I use it for 5-8lb catfish I'm not sure what size the net is.
Answer: Yes it will work for shrimp the mesh is about a quarter inch.
Answer: less than 1/4" long x 1/8" wide good for even small / medium shrimp
Answer: I'm not really sure. The first time we used it the head snapped off. It did seem strong and we were really impressed with the length but the weight might be too much for the length.
Answer: Will check
Answer: Mine will catch shrimp smaller than 1 in
Q:
Is this the cheap plastic net that wrecks the fish so we can't catch and release them? or is it the real rope net that protects the fish???
Answer: It's the rope kind. However, I believe the rubbery netting is best for catch and release. I believe the rope kind could and will hurt the fish.
Answer: It a good net. Could have some improvements but for the price, its a good fish net with real rope netting.
Answer: Mine is rubber lined. Never hurt the fish I caught, hooks never tangled in the net. I used it from a kayak kept issues of hook tied up in net
Answer: This net does not harm the fish you can catch and release
Answer: The net material is actually pretty good on this. The quality of the handle is not good. Mine broke at the basket after using it twice. The bad part was I bought the item and it stayed put away for several months until I got a chance to go fishing. The second time to net a crappie and it broke when it hit the water. It was past the allowed time for returns so it went to the trash.
Answer: It is a plastic net, but seems to work fine.
Answer: it's made of some kind of rope not plastic
Q:
Would this net be able to land flathead catfish (up to 40lbs)?
Q:
What is the net material or is it rubber
Answer: material
Q:
How big of a fish can you land with this? In another word, can you land 40 paunds or bigger with this?
Answer: No, maybe 15 pounds max. Not a very big net area. Well made for smaller fish, fold well.
Answer: No the opening is to small. More for bass fishing.
Answer: I have landed 40 lb black drum
Q:
Is the mesh small enough for grass shremp
Answer: The mess will pick up most float material.
Answer: Large on
Answer: The mesh is small enough but the hoop is too flexible for scooping through grass the center will basically just ride above the grass
Q:
we pushed the gray lever back toward the handle. the release does not work. How hard do you have to push to get the net arms to collapse?
Answer: You have to slide the first adjustment handle near the release back about 2 inches before it will release.
Q:
Is this net good for crabbing as well?
Answer: Yes, but as it's larger and heavier than a traditional crab net it may tire you.
Q:
What is mesh hole size?
Answer: No larger than 1/4 inch.
Q:
Is the net replaceable?
Q:
What is the maximum weight of fish that can be netted? fishing from pier and fish are weighing between 20-40 lbs
Answer: Test your net for maximum efficiency lift. Try lifting 40 lbs weights fully extended in the net and if it pends, then it's not going to lift 40 lbs. I recommend not lifting a fish with the pole extended straight out. Try raising the net with the pole straight up with the handle. You don't put any stress on the pole and you have control of the fish in the net.
Answer: Gave it to my husband- he says that would be a lot for the net. It would really be testing it.
Answer: I have scooped up 40 lb from straight down maybe Pull It in toward you and then pull up
Q:
How do I extend the pole, the black plastic piece that I assume needs to be turned is extremely tight?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: You just loosen it and then pull out the handle.... Mine was firm but not too tight to loosen...
Answer: That is how, left to loosen
Q:
Is the net coated so hooks don't get snagged?
Answer: So far I have had no problem with hooks getting caught in the net. That's not to say it can't happen. The biggest fish I have landed in this net was 5 lbs .Hope this helps.
Q:
Is there a solid cross bar to the net when opened or is it only supported by the 2 side arms?
Answer: There is no cross bar, sadly it did not live up to our expectations and it snapped the first time we used it. No doubt the catch was too heavy for it (about 5 lbs) and it had to be returned. It was really a very nice looking net and it did telescope out as expected but it just was made for smaller catches.
Answer: its only supported by the two side arms.. but it is very strong. I used it many times with kokanee and lake trout worked great!
Answer: Side arms only but I haven't had any problems with it.
Q:
How wide is the net opening?
Answer: The opening is triangular shape 22”x22”x22”.
Q:
Is the pole 8 ft?
Answer: I don't know , I do know that it is long enough to reach over the side of my Crestliner boat and get the fish out of the water
Answer: yes
Q:
Will this handle catching live 5 lb chickens or 30 lb turkeys???
Answer: Chickens yes
Q:
Is this strong enough to use to catch a feral cat?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: http://www.alleycat.org/page.aspx?pid=984
Answer: A cat could get hurt from a net...they panic. You need a live cat trap.
Answer: I'd get a live trap instead.
Product reviews of Fiblink Folding Aluminum Fishing Landing Net Fish Net with Extending Telescoping Pole Handle
Pat : Bird catcher
Using this to catch birds that get in the house and just sit on the upper windows. Also caught a moth that was way up high. Thought I’d write a review for this atypical application. Works fine.
It's me in central Illinois : Not just for fishing
I don't know how it does for fishing, we use it to catch birds. We have chickens, Muscovy ducks, and guineas. My husband just got 30 chickens from a family that is having to move, and needed a home for their chickens. He took this along and it was so much easier catching the birds. We next plan on using it to get some guineas. There is someone who has about 30 or 40 guineas and they are too many for her to be able to feed for the winter. Guineas roost up high in the rafters of her barn, and with the telescoping pole, this will be long enough to reach up and catch each bird we plan to get.
Seng Lee : Feel like the max fish lbs you can lift this thing ...
If you need to reach far then this is it. Lost one star because i feel the extension closes to the net feel whobbly when fully extended. Feel like the max fish lbs you can lift this thing fully extended is maybe 15 lbs. Lifted a 10lbs catfish and the front end handle started to arc. It was struggling a bit.
Bev H. : this thing is sturdy and easy to use
I replaced my old minnow and crawdad net with this one and I love it
Kevin Carnahan : Great net for walleye.
This is probably the best net I've use yet for walleye. I had my reservations but after using it I'm very pleased. Lightweight and once you get used to folding it up it takes up no room at all. It doesn't knock the fish off if you bump it with the end up the net. I'd buy another !
Debra A. : Get it
This is a great product. Large but light. Well made. Easily folds and unfolds. Perfect for a main go-to net or backup. Fits easily in rod box.
Bill Reed : Very pleased with this net.
I just received my landing net and have not tried it yet but I did extend it out just to get a feel of how heavy it was and I was surprised. I was hoping it would be a little lighter than it is but it will be fine. I have a friend that fishes Crappie Masters Trail and the ACC crappie trail tournaments and this is what he recommended since this is what he uses.
Sandy rocks at review : Easy to use.
I liked the length and strength. My friend dropped her cell phone off a fishing pier. The next day I used this to try to locate it. Didn't find it but it was helpful to drag on the bottom of lake.
Capt.Cas - SRR : Good Sterdy Net!
I needed new Shrimp Nets, and these fit the bill! Capt. Cas SRR
Intel Junkie : Very flimsy and no complete loop of support
Too flimsy and requires extreme caution as one scoop can bend the frame. No metal on. Loop as it has two halves joined by net and can easily bend .
Debs Stuff : Overall this was EXACTLY what I wanted! but one issue did crop up later....
I found it easy to use and light weight, and sturdy enough to scoop seaweed out of the water that weighed enough to be difficult to lift.
The downside... I live in a marine environment and expect metals to rot - what I did not expect was for the black powder coat to come off on my hands after a few months.
Bill Reed : Very pleased with this net.

John R : Works Fine for Perch and Catfish
The reviews were all over the place on all the nets on Amazon. I went for this lower priced one and am very pleased. It folds quickly and is sturdy enough for the white perch and catfish (up to 4 pounds) I catch. If you go after larger fish then you need to check with a different review. I have had no problems with the net breaking, etc.
Todd T. : Doesn't tangle in hooks!
I purchased a new net specifically to prevent my hooks from getting tangled up. This one works perfectly!! I was spending upwards of 5 mins untangling my treble hooks from my previous net. With this one, I'll land a fish and have it flop back and forth in the net and every single time, I spent a max of 10 seconds removing my lure from the net. It is sturdy and although I've only had it a month, is holding up well and seems to be made well. Would purchase again.
HONU : The folding is awesome and I love the design
The folding is awesome and I love the design. I fish on Oahu here at Kaneohe Bay pier and I love the how light and easy to carry. I landed a hood size fish and it would be hard to lift the fish with just the pole without the fish coming off the hook. The net 3 sectional piece made possible to land the fish. So happy to have a net I can depend on to land the fish. THANK you... I would recommend this net to anyone that can't land a fish. Having to reach the fish before it comes off the hook is awesome. You'll Never loose a fish ever again.
maureen from Long Island : Great on dock and jetty
Dropped it off the dock and dove off to retrieve it. Nice quality.
Drake : Not sturdy
Not duel use only good for bait fish
Lee Vath : Could Have Been Better
This net is lightweight considering how long it extends. Yet, when fully extended it flex and bow on any big fish over 10 lbs. I don't feel it's sturdy enough to always try to land fully extended.
After using 5 times, the plastic twisting locks, locked up at the top section. I still can't get it to free up so I can fold the net yet. In addition the lower section slides out easily and separates the two pieces. Now I have to pieces or one long net that doesn't lock or unlock properly.
Carlito h. : Easy to assemble
They should atleast put aluminum or any strong material on the part of the net where you can fold it . I call it maybe a neck where the net and the pole connected
MMB : A worthy net
This net is incredibly sturdy and easy to adjust. Folds up nicely for storage. This truly is a great deal—can’t believe what you get for the price!
mgsulli : Nice net;convenient
The net opens and sets up great. It is lightweight and the telescoping feature will come in handy.
Sadly, the carry bag tore when I first took the net out. Probably operator error. In any event, please have someone contact me with info on how to purchase another bag. It really makes the unit more convenient
Sandy rocks at review : Easy to use.
I liked the length and strength. My friend dropped her cell phone off a fishing pier. The next day I used this to try to locate it. Didn't find it but it was helpful to drag on the bottom of lake.
Evan Ander : Very well made
Good quality and the longest handle I could find. Very pleased with the purchase
Scotty B. : Big and in the way
It's a good size net and it reaches pretty far that's for sure. Helps out a ton if you're fishing off a bank, bridge or dock where pulling up the big ones will snap your line. Compacts down nice for easy storage but that compacting can also be a downfall.
Cons: The only thing I don't really like about it much is that if you have it folded up, it takes awhile to unfold it and extend it to be able to use it. If you have it unfolded ahead of time and ready for action, then that's great! Problem is then, you have this very large net hanging around getting in the way of everything. Overall, nice net.
Littlevinny : Great net
High quality. Very sturdy
Amazon Customer : A little advice...
I bought this fishing net after an exhaustive search online. Gees...how does one know how to pick? I finally found this one. The price , made an easy choice. When it arrived, I was happy to see the materials used looked like it should last, but only time will test it's durability. Since taking it out recently, I was relieved to hear how nice it was from my friends. As you can tell I don't have any experience in buying fishing nets so you, unfortunately will have roll the dice. A little advice...Get This Net!!!
Rattail : This is a great product
This is a really nice net. I bought it for catching run away chickens. It has a good quality net and it can be replaced if it gets torn or worn out. The telescopic handle gets unbelievably long making it perfect for catching those chickens that fly up in the tree or even to net those fish from a low bridge or waterway that you can't get right up to. The whole thing folds up and comes with a carry case , even the net part folds in half. Great for the fisherman or the farmer!
Mr D : Good for the money but not a very high quality product, design issue
The second time we used it it fell apart. The plastic locks that tighten down the tubes are only glued to the tubes. They seem to be as strong as you would imagine plastic glued to painted aluminum can be. If you twist it too hard or push or pull on it with some force - it will fail. There should have been something there to prevent that. Something more than the kind of glue you use with a heat gun for random home made crafts. Our problem came from the second lock on the pole. There is a design issue there that created a point failure for us. The second link in the pole is about the same length as the first that it collapses into. The problem is that the locking mechanism is glued onto about an inch if the second tube. The result is that when you push the second tube into the bottom tube you slam the locking mechanism against the thicker tube below it. Since the locking mechanism is only glued to the tube that glue gave way and the lock slipped off the tube. In addition to that there is almost nothing preventing the tube from coming all the way out. So the second lock comes off when you slam it into the bottom tube and next time you need to extend the handle there is almost nothing stopping it from coming all the way out. My solution to this was to drill a small hole below the lock of the second link and put a little nail in it. I can no longer collapse that section but it also doesn't come apart any more.
MMB : A worthy net
This net is incredibly sturdy and easy to adjust. Folds up nicely for storage. This truly is a great deal—can’t believe what you get for the price!
Seng Lee : Feel like the max fish lbs you can lift this thing ...
If you need to reach far then this is it. Lost one star because i feel the extension closes to the net feel whobbly when fully extended. Feel like the max fish lbs you can lift this thing fully extended is maybe 15 lbs. Lifted a 10lbs catfish and the front end handle started to arc. It was struggling a bit.
Bay Enterprises : Seems to work well
Works well. Easy to store.
Littlevinny : Great net
High quality. Very sturdy
k.williams : good for anything a kid can come up with.
My 14 yr old uses it when fishing, very durable. Easily folds up to bring everywhere. On the days he's not fishing he carries laundry, the kitties, his soccer stuff in it. Still no holes...
I. Seligman : Far better quality and size than I expected.
This is a keeper for someone who wants a nicely built net whose handle telescopes out to reach for fish, chickens or even frogs that are within its >8.5 feet of reach. |If you use some common sense bringing in your catch, you can safely land a 10 to 20 lb fish. If you don't use common sense, you can break the net/pole with just a 5 lb. fish, and blame the net, and not yourself for such failure.
So, when you get a fish within the net, bring the net and fish closer to you by pulling the long handle backwards, keeping the net and the heavy fish in the water, until the fish/net are close to you, rather than trying to lift your catch out of the water when it's furthest away from you. That's just putting less stress on the long handle.
The net is far bigger, wider and longer than I expected, and that's a good thing for a fisherman. I bought this for its long reach and telescoping down, to easily transport and store it. There are tradeoffs in having a telescoping and folding net, rather than a long, solid aluminum or steel handled net. Your choice.
To pack up the net, the net collapses by pushing on the plastic button at its base, and folding the net up. Then telescope the long handle to shorten it. Easy-peasy.
Treat the net with respect, and it could last a few years, depending on your use and talents as a fisherman and net user!
behzad : Good net
I returned this product as even though it was a very good net but a bit too heavy for fishing in lakes and streams. But I really recommend it to fellow fisherman's that fish in deep water, A very good net
BengalzHacker : Didn't know the length included the net
I thought the handle length is all that was being spoken of in terms of being 60". My error.
I do love how small it folds up. If you have a bigger tackle box, this thing might actually fit in it.
The carry bag is great as well. My biggest complaint about my old net was that it was constantly getting caught up in my other tackle in transport. When in the bag, there's no chance that can happen. Time will tell how sturdy it is overall, but it feels good thus far.
K. Lopez : Long reach, lightweight!
This thing is exactly what we needed for crabbing! Super sturdy even when extended fully. Been using this for a few months, absolutely no issues.

Amazon Customer : will fold up with big fish
I like the long handle and how it folds up when done but several times it would fold up when trying to net bigger fish. You have to be careful which side to try to use.
Drake : Not sturdy
Not duel use only good for bait fish
Evan Ander : Very well made
Good quality and the longest handle I could find. Very pleased with the purchase
brodysdad : Cheap plastic/save your money
The idea of having a landing net that folds down is great. I bought this last year and just now pulled it out to use and It will not lock. Found the plastic ear broken. The lock collar and ears are made from cheap plastic.
Dolores : Folding Aluminum Fishing Landing Net
This need is great for fishing of docks with tides , not the strongest made but works great with some precaution's. After netting fish pull up handle vertical hand over hand so as not to stress pole handle. doing this I have brought up large channel cats to 15lbs at this time.
Hannah Lambert : Beautiful looking net and appears to be well designed
Beautiful looking net and appears to be well designed; however, the weak link is the join between the pole and the net. It's simply weak plastic. I would certainly appreciate my money back on this item as the third time I used this net, the fish broke the net from the pole. This net is very poorly designed as it won't hold up but for a few fishing outings. Very disappointed. I wonder if this net has any kind of warrant as I have only had it a few months!
Gil Hickman : Very Packable
This net is unreal. It folds up and fits inside a bag, for transporting. It's got a good long reach and is strong enough to handle my fish. I am very pleased with it. Much better than I expected. Perfect for the Pier I fish.
Stephen Waddell : Perfect net for birds
I love it. It’s perfect to catch my birds. Lightweight and adjustable
SixString : It's a nice net.
I purchased the model that extends up to 80". I had two reasons for purchasing this item. First - the old fishing net that I had was not foldable and it was a pain in butt to get in an out of the helm storage of our pontoon boat. This net is light and compact and easily fits in the helm storage area. Secondly, sometimes things like hats and the occasional flip-flop will go over board, so the length that it extends to makes it easier to retrieve any item from the water. The net itself is fairly well constructed. It was a little hard to open and close at first but you'll get the hang of it. I would trust it for scooping up fish that are up to a pound or two. As for landing a big fish while the net is fully extended to 80''s, I wouldn't recommend not trying to lift it fearing that it may bend or snap the pole. Rather I would net it and draw it back to you then you should be ok.
Patrick : The fish jump right into it! (Video)
The net came in about 10 mins before I was heading to the lake. I opened it up when I got to the boat and the entire concept of it was great! We had a great day and landed 9 northerns total - 3 over 5lbs.
My biggest disappointments are the cheap parts... I couldn't slide the net clip down to collapse it because the pole needed to be extended about .5" and screwed down right before the clip had enough room to pull it out, that and the cheap key ring that they put at the base of the net pulled right out.
I would order this net again with better quality parts and pay $60-70 for it in a heartbeat.
Pros: the concept, very small when storing, lightweight, can handle bigger fish and tiny holes for smaller, price is great.
Cons: some parts are very cheap, I don't think I'll get more than 1 season out of it with moderate use.
Overall: I'd say a great purchase. I am not disappointed one bit. I feel like If they ever make a better quality net with the same concept, it would be one of the best nets on the market for smaller vessels or fishermen on the banks.
Lee Vath : Could Have Been Better
This net is lightweight considering how long it extends. Yet, when fully extended it flex and bow on any big fish over 10 lbs. I don't feel it's sturdy enough to always try to land fully extended.
After using 5 times, the plastic twisting locks, locked up at the top section. I still can't get it to free up so I can fold the net yet. In addition the lower section slides out easily and separates the two pieces. Now I have to pieces or one long net that doesn't lock or unlock properly.
