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
Q:
Where is this net being shipped from?
Answer: I think it comes from China
Q:
How long is it
Answer: How long is really, really long and what weight of fish can it hold?
Answer: Really really long
Answer: 4 feet

have they fixed the plastic breaking yet?? also how many inches across is the net??
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
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...
Richard Winkel : Large size and folds up well
Looks very nice, larger than I had thought it would be, and seems solid while also being light. Folds up easily and telescopes without too much trouble. The bag that it came in was torn on the bottom, as other reviewers have mentioned. But it doesn't matter to me, I wasn't going to carry the net around in a bag anyway.
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!
Capt.Cas - SRR : Good Sterdy Net!
I needed new Shrimp Nets, and these fit the bill! Capt. Cas SRR
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
Saucychick : Didn't last
Hated this net. First, the handle became NUCLEAR if it was left out in the sun. Used it five times before the folding bit broke. the only thing I liked was that it had a long handle.
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.
GinaBrown : Great price, well made, quick delivery
The netting is the perfect size so it doesn't get snagged on everything!. It folds up small enough to store, and extends big enough to useful. I use this to help me catch birds at our Aviary. I like the way this is made. With soft corners and a well made net, the birds don't get hurt.

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.
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.
bliss4mendoza : The compact/fordable is perfect for my needs
I purchased this net for its reviews and gave it a try. The only reason I bought this net is fishing off the docks in the bay where I live. The compact/fordable is perfect for my needs, once I landed the first shark my thoughts was that it the net was too light and would not hold the weight of the shark (15) pounds later I managed to get the shark on board the deck. Shortly I landed a stripper weigh (8) lbs with no problem. One thing I recommend is not to try to land fish on a 90 degree angle, this will not work, for me... what I had to do was to scoop up the meal/fish and slowly retrieve the net towards the dock (you). Sorta like a tugging motion otherwise the net will not hold the weight of the fish and may break the pole. I learned this the heard way and now,I know that you use commend sense and a bit of skill. Other than the engineering of the net, Its well built and sturdy. The material is non corrosive and works well in all water types including salt water. am definitely buying a second one for my fishing buddy. I recommend this net for any type of fishing, but don't forget to use common sense. Sorry but but I don't have photos this time to submit. Next trip out I will add some photos.
Doc. Shock : Fish net
This wasn’t what I wanted but looks to be an excellent product. I meant to order bird net to deal with an occasional bat that gets in. I must have clicked fish net by mistake.
Amazon Customer : Amazing net
Great versatility; you can extend the net to many different sizes! (Picture for reference, and I’m 5’9!) The pole feels sturdy even if you sweep it though the water and the net itself is of good quality and doesn’t seem likely to tear.
Marlene L. : A fabulous fishing net.
This net more than met my expectations. The only ‘improvement’ I could suggest would be a reinforced hole in the handle so a wrist/safety line could be attached. My son-in-law uses the net on an ocean dock about 15’ above the water so security is important!
H Lee : Great size but not well constructed - broke after 4 months of minimal use
Liked the net and size but it only lasted 4 months. Used on our boat to pick up things that fell overboard. Used once every 2-4 days. If stronger plastic or maybe stronger joints were used it seems like it might last longer.

Not duel use only good for bait fish

Don Le Claire : This is not the net your looking for
Ok, simply put EVERYTHING tangles in this NET, the net gets caught on everything. and every hook that gets near it will be stuck in the net (and you will cut the net or cut the hook) there is a border around the net near the frame when you stick a hook there YOU will cut the hook or damage the net.
JUST PASS ON THIS ONE
Snack : Nets!
It’s a fishing net that’s well built for the price
Amazon Customer : Long Reach
Very nice net. Locking mechanism seems to work well. No slipping. Love the way it folds up to take up less room in my boat.
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.

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.
Mike Borum : folds and unfolds easily
I got this net to catch birds that get trapped in my screened-in porch. It folds compactly and is perfect for that occasional use.
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.
Bit : Longest pole net I ever found online
This is one of the few items I viewed the reviews before buying it. Some of the negative reviews were because people were claiming the pole was bent when it was extended. I am giving 5 stars to this product although this might be true. The main reason why I purchased this item is because I fish for big striped bass on an elevated position on rocks in the ocean so I needed a very long pole net. This was the longest that I found, if anybody else knows of any longer please let me know. Provided some buyers said it can bend if you use it on an extended pole I say, instead of raising it after catching the fish, just pull it on a position that it can't bent.
Jim Jackson : Big and nice
Well the picture don't look big lol Very nice folds down into a bag no bigger than a pool que box size. Fits on side of my back pack. Good design but not meant for over 25 pounds 15lbs min. 25lbs max
L. M. Kunkle : Love these nets
My kids love to try to catch crawfish in low lying rivers/creeks and also turtles or bullfrogs in ponds while we are camping. These nets are perfect for that purpose. They are nice and deep to keep the animals in there. But light enough to operate.
Tammy Mayfield : Stores Away
Lightweight and foldable. Stores away in a small area.
Littlevinny : Great net
High quality. Very sturdy
Don Le Claire : This is not the net your looking for
Ok, simply put EVERYTHING tangles in this NET, the net gets caught on everything. and every hook that gets near it will be stuck in the net (and you will cut the net or cut the hook) there is a border around the net near the frame when you stick a hook there YOU will cut the hook or damage the net.
JUST PASS ON THIS ONE

Blue : good
We use this net to catch birds that get stuck in our garage. The hummers go right through a bigger net. It works fine for that.
I Wonder : It is perfect! Light and compact
It is perfect! Light and compact, carried in its own pouch- very elegant solution! It came on time, so I was able to use it right away at my Labor Day Weekend fishing trip...Proved to be very useful: fully extended while fishing from the dock, half extended for the kayak. It held those several largemouth few-pounders with no problem at all.
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.
Capt.Cas - SRR : Good Sterdy Net!
I needed new Shrimp Nets, and these fit the bill! Capt. Cas SRR
Amazon Customer : great net all the way around.
I love this net. I fish off my Dock and its high front the water. Catching a fish and lifting the fish up makes it so easy not to lose your fish. Easy to store in my dock box. Great quality as well.
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.
maureen from Long Island : Great on dock and jetty
Dropped it off the dock and dove off to retrieve it. Nice quality.
Bud G : I have trouble getting close to the water due to poor balance. I now carry this net
Now, at my age, I have trouble getting close to the water due to poor balance. I now carry this net, along with my folding chair and tackle to a good spot and am able to land my catch without fear of falling in. It's also easy to deploy and retract when using.
X. HE : Weak material.
The net is not strong at all. I bought it with the impression that the material is made of aluminum. However the joint between the net and the handle broke the first time when we used it. The joint is totally made of plastic...

K.J.M. : Compact net
Will up date review after I use it.
MommaO : Great item
Love this pokes, saves me from stepping over boat to get fish. We just keep it on the boat. Perfect net
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.
Stage 5 : When it arrived I was impressed with what seemed like good quality components
Initially very impressed but the telescoping handle/pole quickly stopped locking so that sometimes when trying to net a fish the handle would shorten resulting in a missed fish. The locking mechanism for the net, enabling it to close/fold also stopped working. When it arrived I was impressed with what seemed like good quality components, but after very limited use none of the parts worked correctly. This wound up being a disappointing purchase. Maybe I received a defective one, don't know.
Mike : A good net...
For the most part, I had no problem landing big fish at a river bank using the full length. It was plenty strong, I used handed overhand going straight up when lifting the fish. One problem I had with one of the fish, it's top fin got stuck in the net. I had a heck of a time getting the net off the fish. The hook was fine, I was able to remove it from the fish, no net problem there. I don't think the net problem is significant but it's going to cause problems from time to time. I was very happy being able to land a fish that was a good distance below me. The various lengths is a plus. I also like its ability to fold up nice and compact, easy to travel with and carry!
