Questions about SF Fly Fishing Landing Net Soft Rubber Mesh Trout Net Catch and Release Net

what are the dimensions of this item

Answer: 24.5" long X 10.5 wide (Nice net)

Answer: This net is way too shallow dont buy it unless your only landing 10in fish otherwise its worthless

Is the rubber net firm or soft? I would consider the Bass pro White river nets to be firm (almost hard) rubber while the fishpond nets are soft rubber

Answer: Soft. I think this a great net for the price. I use it in fresh water only. Similar nets at fly shops are much more expensive.

Answer: I would consider the rubber net to be more soft than firm.

Answer: They are soft rubber netting

Answer: The net has only been used on cool days in very cold water and I would consider it firm. I suspect it will soften up when the temp rises.

Answer: I would not consider it hard. It is somewhat stiff when new, certainly different from string net, but very nice and appropriate.

Answer: Mine arrived quite soft. Had it been stiff I would have submerged it in hat water for 5 minutes to soften. As stated mine did not require that treatment. Excellent net for the price.

Answer: I would say sort.

What are the hoop dimensions and handle size for this net?

Answer: Hoop size is 15" long by 9" at it's widest point and 4" and it's narrowest. It is approximately 9" deep. Handle size is 8" measured from the bottom of the web.

Answer: handle about 9", hoop 91/2 x 16". Nice net for the money

Answer: Net 15" by 9" 10" deep Handel 1 1/8" by 8 3/8"

about how deep is the netting ?

Answer: It measures approx. 9" from the top edge of the frame to the very center of the netting.

Answer: Net is 10 to 12" deep

Answer: I'd guess 8-10inches

Can I use this for 5lb largemouth bass?

Answer: Absolutely- no problem. Just landed a 4lb northern and had no trouble.

Is there option to purchase the model with the small holes?

How thick is the handle? I'm wondering how wide the flat portion is.

Answer: the flat portion is approx 1 inch and the thickness is approx 1/2 inch, hope this helps you Zach

Answer: It works fine

What is the difference with the different color magnets, looks or function?

Answer: Looks only- no functionality difference

round head or square?

Answer: Picture is exact shape I got. Squared at the top rounded at the bottom. Actual net area is 16” long by 9” max width. It’s 9” wide most of the way. At 3/4 from the top to where handle starts it tapers to 8” and then quickly down to the rounded base. Hope this helps, it’s a good net.

Answer: Just like the picture - square head with rounded corners.

Answer: It's a square head.

Answer: More like a paddle ore

Answer: More of an oval

what is the inside hoop dimensions

Answer: Roughly 151/2"x81/2"

Answer: It is 15 3/4 by 9

whats the difference between the Burl wood net and the other three nets?

Answer: look at the different type of wood on the handle. Burl is a type of wood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burl that is unique and a bit harder the process. it adds no functionality, just a fancier fishing net.

carbon fiber net just received. where can i get the wire loop for the quick disconnect as pictured

Answer: I thought mine came with the wire loop; however, I might have had it from before. I suppose you can always order something thru Amazon.

Answer: Any decent fly shop should be able to help you out. Should be one on the back of the neck on your fly vest or chest pack harness.........

Answer: Either Bass Pro or Cabela's

Answer: Mine came with it

How are the magnetic release parts installed

Answer: Take one side of the magnet and attach it to the carabiner which can be hooked to back if your vest. Use a zip-tie and attach the other magnet piece to the top of the net. That way the handle will hang down your back, and be easier to grab.

Answer: One part attaches to a loop on the upper back of your fishing vest. Then the magnets just hook together. Very easy

Answer: They have the rings like a key ring on each side that you can connect in multiple ways. I use the S Carabiner To attach to my bag and connect the small key ring to the ‘i’ screw on the end of the net. Then also include the stretching cord to both locations too

Answer: They clip on to your net and your vest. There is a metal ring (like a key ring) for each.

The carbon fiber version appears to have smaller holes at the bottom, as opposed to the larger holes of the wooden-handled nets. Is that true?

Answer: Not sure, but the holes fit the ferrule rings just right

Are the dimensions listed in inches or centimeters?

Which option has the smaller net holes? i see option a, b, and c...? not sure which one is best for smaller fish?

Answer: I have the b and have no problems with losing fish through the holes. I think they all would work well.

Answer: I did buy the square frame. Only the frames are different sizes, the nets are probably same mesh size in all. I have netted bluegill with mine.

I was under the assumtion that the net came with the magnetoc release. I just recieved the net today and it did not. The description states it does

Answer: I ordered two, both came with magnetic release

Answer: I’m assuming there are options to order with/without the magnetic release. Obviously, the price will differ... what does your order confirmation shows for inclusion of purchase?

Answer: Mine did have the magnetic release. I would contact the supplier that Amazon uses.

Answer: Mine did. And a coil lanyard. You got a bad one, I’d return.

Answer: I got the magnet, you need to contact them.

Does the net float in the water?

Answer: Probably since it is fairly light.

Answer: yes

Where is this net manufactured?

Answer: In my opinion, if they don't say where, then it is likely made in China. LOL

Answer: China

Do these float?

Answer: Well the frame is wood so it floats somewhat- just not high in the water.

Answer: Yes

What is the overall length from end of hoop to end of handle and what is the width at the widest point of the hoop side to side?

Answer: The overall length is 24" and the width is 9". I think it is a very nice shape and size for trout fishing.

Picture appears to show a black nylon net, but descript ion says soft rubber mesh. Which is correct?

Answer: Picture is incorrect or poorly taken. The net is a soft tan rubber mesh.

Answer: It’s the soft translucent mesh.....

Answer: Mine has soft rubber

Answer: Looks like nylon

I've read the description but still don't know what the differnce is between clear A, B, or C?

Answer: I am about 99% sure (based on the photos) that A has round holes in the netting, B has rectangular holes in the netting, and C is just a net with no lanyard

Answer: It looks like it is just the color of the magnet

Answer: the net mesh is colorless and seems to stress the fish less than a corded net

Answer: I'm not sure about A, B, C, but the net itself is colorless and is a material that seems to reduce stress on the fish. I have found it to be a great net.

where is the net made?

Answer: china but it seems to be pretty well made

How much does it weigh?

Answer: Same as a standard net.

Answer: Not enough to worry about.

What is this for black ziptie

What is the difference between A and B in the selection?

Answer: There’s a different lanyard between A and B. Both still have the clip, magnet, and spiral-stretch cord. But the difference is the thin black lanyard (handle end attach vs basket end attached).

Answer: I believe it's the size of the holes in the webbing

Yeah When will the wood net and clear basket with small hexagon holes be available again?

Answer: no clue. This net works great for stream fishing

what is the difference in combo a, b, or c?

Answer: read the discriptions

How well will this net stand up to heavy use in saltwater?

Answer: I can not say how well holds up in salt water, I only fish in freshwater lakes and streams

what is the weight of the net?

Answer: It isn't heavy or at least not for a wooden net. It also isn't a big net. Never had a problem landing any fish I caught

Answer: I don't have the exact weight but it is heavier than most that I have had. With that said it feels well made. Haven't even noticed the difference hanging on my back.

Answer: Maybe a pound and a half? Very well made and no problem to carry, as its fastened onto my vest.

Is it really carbon fiber or just made to look like carbon fiber?

Do you sell the net without the magnetic net release? I already have two releases.

My net's plastic netting broke within 2 months of use. can i get a replacement net or netting for my net? i purchased the net this summer. thank you

Answer: Go to your amazon order history and hit return, it will let you know if you are timely. If not wrote the manufacture.

can't see the size difference in the square head combos a, b, c, does anyone know?

I've read the description but still don't know what the differnce is between clear A, B, or C?

Answer: I am about 99% sure (based on the photos) that A has round holes in the netting, B has rectangular holes in the netting, and C is just a net with no lanyard

Answer: It looks like it is just the color of the magnet

Answer: the net mesh is colorless and seems to stress the fish less than a corded net

Answer: I'm not sure about A, B, C, but the net itself is colorless and is a material that seems to reduce stress on the fish. I have found it to be a great net.

The metal piece with the magnet attached fell out of the bottom of the net. Is there a way to attach it or should i glue it in?

Answer: My flyclub hosts netbuilding classes. We use Gorilla Glue to adhere the metal pin to its drillhole in the bottom handle of the net.

Answer: Darn that is unfortunate. If it happened to my net I would try to glue it back into place. Next option is to replace it with a small eye hook, you’ll lose the swivel action which would stink.

Answer: I would try glue

Answer: You can try J-B Weld or super glue but I would try J-B Weld first I hope this helps

Answer: Epoxy?

Is this an American made net?

Answer: Is anything , anymore American made? This is probably a Chinese beauty! It is a great net at a great price!

Answer: I'm not sure but I do know that I'll land a rainbow trout with ease, and had a powerful magnet too

I understand the coiled wire and double magnet , but what is the small seperate lanyard for?

Answer: I use the separate lanyard around my wrist, when I can as I land the fish ;)

Answer: If you wanted to use that one instead of the coiled one

Answer: In case you didn't want to use the coiled wire.

Answer: I think it’s just another option to secure the net depending on your setup. It’s not really necessary, I didn’t use mine.

How big of a fish will it work for?

Answer: I'm not sure of how big a fish it could land. I feel that trout that are in the 5 lb and under should be no problem.

Answer: It depends on what you are fishing for. But if it's fresh water I have landed 5+ lb trout. Don't think I would take it saltwater fishing.

Answer: I landed a 21" sea trout off of a dock with ease its a pretty good size net.

Answer: Any trout under 25 inches.

I see many reviews about losing small trout so what size are the largest holes of the mesh?

Answer: I did not find this true - I fish for small native brook trout and never had a problem

I've read the description but still don't know what the differnce is between clear A, B, or C?

Answer: I am about 99% sure (based on the photos) that A has round holes in the netting, B has rectangular holes in the netting, and C is just a net with no lanyard

Answer: It looks like it is just the color of the magnet

Answer: the net mesh is colorless and seems to stress the fish less than a corded net

Answer: I'm not sure about A, B, C, but the net itself is colorless and is a material that seems to reduce stress on the fish. I have found it to be a great net.

What is the black ziptie used for

Answer: The "zip tie" is attached to a loop on the back of your vest and to the handle of the net. The magnets are also attached to this loop. When you pull the net off the magnetic base, the zip tie is still attached and keeps the net from floating away if you drop it in the water as it is still attached to your vest.

Is the included lanyard elastic? And how long is it?

Answer: Yes it's elastic, and total length I would say 18 to 24 inches I wear mine across my back and it stretches around me fine to net fish with out having to disconnect it for where I have it.

Answer: The lanyard is elastic and it is about 21 inches long.

Answer: Yes it is. I would say around 3 feet or so. It stretches very easily. I keep mine attached to the back of my best, and I have no issues getting fish out if the stream.

Answer: 2'

Answer: Thanks - it just might work!

It is amazing that nobody asked how much does it weigh? i would never buy a fish net without knowing its weight. yes?

Answer: I would have thought about the weight. It weighs what it weighs. But, it weighs 318 grams. Hope this helps.

Answer: I think nobody asked because it’s in the product description... 13.6oz

does thus come with the magnetic keeper?

Answer: Yes

The lanyard on the one I just purchased came apart can you send a replacement or do I need to return the net?

Has anyone purchased the Carbon Fiber version? If so, how do you like it?

Answer: Love it. Very light and large enuf for big trout.

Is there a replacement net for the square head with small holes?

Answer: I am not aware of a replacement net.

difference between round head and square head?

Answer: the only differance I can see

Product reviews of SF Fly Fishing Landing Net Soft Rubber Mesh Trout Net Catch and Release Net

Bailey Miller : Great for the price

The magnet is very strong and the overall construction feels relatively sturdy. I am only worried about the durability of the ties that hold the net material to the spine. However, for the price, it is a very solid net for catch-and-release trout.

Pocket Water : Not fancy, but good enough

The finish on the net is clearly a product of a mass-production shop. But, the price is right, it's functional, and so far, I have had to trouble with it (typically, on nets like these, it's the pin at the end of the handle that pulls out--that's the number one failure--but this one is holding tight so far).

It's a good value, but don't be looking to impress your buddies with a classy net.

Anon : Carbon fiber tear drop not worth 80$

Bought carbon fiber tear drop. Doesn't come with advertised hanging accessories. Came with a tiny carabineer instead of the double sided one shown in pictures. Came with a plastic zip tie (that isn't close to large enough for the handle hole) instead of wire cable shown in pictures. Save your money and buy from establish brand, not this off brand Amazon BS.

I.B. Miller : Complete and Completely Great

If you've been on Orvis or in a Bass Pro Shops and were turned off by the price of a good landing net, fret not. This thing is great. gentle and pliable, and comes complete with really nice hardware, including a (otherwise quite expensive) magnetic retainment device. It's not heirloom quality, but it works and looks great. Totally worth it.

Roy S. Lowenstein : Good workmanship but bad design flaw.

Good workmanship but bad design flaw. The mesh gets larger into the belly of the net, exactly the place where it should be smaller to prevent small fish from falling/swimming through. Puzzling. Too bad.

Aaron Adams : Excellent

I got the fishing net and magnet is on my vest works get never had a problem with it coming undone magnet is superstrong the net floats Would definitely recommend this product

LCM : Good net, good quality

Good net, good quality. Would have given it 5 stars but for one thing: it stinks. I mean STINKS. Worst smell ever. Otherwise it's a great buy and wouldn't hesitate to order another. But I'll never let it ride in the cab of the pickup again.

simply_miller : Great net for trout 8”-16”!

I really like this net as it is light, easy to hang on my back with the magnet, and does not get hooks caught in the material.
Some smaller size pan trout have fallen through the holes of net, and one large 19”+ was hard to keep inside. But, I’m normally netting fish between 9-15” so it’s exactly what I’m looking for.

bilbo0316 : Great wooden frame, soft mesh, no hooked hets, no tangles!

I finally got a chance to use this product. Today, I fished from the bank and netted a 14” trout. My favorite part is the frame; it feels great in my hand, the quality of the wood is superb. The elongated shape allowed me to easily land the fish. Some other fishermen who saw it liked the shape of the net very much.
I also wanted to mention that the rubber mesh is very soft and the holes aren’t too large like I’ve read in some reviews (I do not net 6-8 inch long trout and I release them in the water). The best thing about the mesh is that I no longer have to deal with hooked nets and tangles. It is also easy to clean and it holds no odor.
Can’t wait for summer so I can try this net in my tube.

Deakins : Too small for large fish, but the basket holes are too big for small fish!

The holes in this net are too large for anything smaller than 16-20”+ trout. Not sure the rational behind having the largest holes on the bottom of the net basket. Smaller dish slip through and make it extremely tangle prone, and extremely detrimental to the fish of practicing catch and release. I’m disappointed

Jeff A : Excellent fly fishing net for the money

I received my Sunshine net on time and in perfect condition. It fits my wading belt, and will work great for fishing smaller streams and larger rivers. I rated it a 4-Star purchase because the connecting cords do not look particularly sturdy and I suspect they will need to be replaced soon. Otherwise, this net will work great and cost $35.00 compared to $90.00 or more for nets from other sources.

Frankie J. : Poorly Constructed

The net is held together by a string - literally. While fishing, the string came undone, so I spent a portion of my precious time on the stream fixing the net, so that it would not come completely unraveled. The net began to come apart on May 22, 2021 - merely ten days after the return window closed. That is too much of coincidence for me. Now, I'm stuck with this piece of garbage. Don't buy it - spend your money elsewhere.

IsleBwild : Great Net

Backpacked into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to float the South Fork of the Flathead River over 8 days.
Loved it, carried easy and netted all the native cutthroat day after day.

Primeshopper : Good net for the money

I wanted a net that wouldn’t harm fish or get hooked up easily on my flies. The netting material is very soft and supple. The frame is the right size and shape for me. The whole unit attaches with the magnetic clip on the back of my fishing vest.

simply_miller : Great net for trout 8”-16”!

Pocket Water : Not fancy, but good enough

Amazon Customer : Well made net but received the wrong netting

The net is well made but i ordered the silicon net with the small holes and did not receive the right netting. The netting i did receive had bigger rectangular openings in it. I thought i would give it a try and it worked as long as the fish were calm but as soon as they started wiggling they fell right through the bigger openings causing fish to hit the ground and the occasional tangle while trying to free the fish and my line. If i had received the right netting this would've been a great buy because its a very nice net just not what i ordered.

chase r. marshall : Good net, but the swivel it comes with is ...

Good net, but the swivel it comes with is junk. I guess mine caught on something and broke and I didn't realize I had dropped it till i was back to camp. I had to walk a half mile back up the bank to retrieve it. The net itself is nice and worth the money.

Frankie J. : Poorly Constructed

Jim M. : Trout net.

This Trout net was purchased with apprehension. I have always had a knotted net. I saw this and thought why not give it a shot. When it arrived I was quite impressed with its construction. The netting is rubber which I expected to be very stiff. I was totally wrong. In fact it is very soft and flexible. The cage ring and handle is made of bamboo that has been polyurethane coated. It has a nice cord attached for protection against losing it down stream. The unit can be laid almost completely flat or hung out of the way. From the moment I opened the package, which was cushioned very well by the shipper, I was immediately impressed and happy with my purchase. These nets can range in the high eighties to the low hundreds of dollars for almost exactly the same net here for around $30.00. Why wouldn't I be impressed. I see nothing at all negative with this purchase.
This net is a welcome addition to my fishing arsenal.

J. Andrews : Decent set for the price

I've had this out a few times now and it seems to be a great net for the price. The magnet catch is solid and strong. It's convenient for keeping your net on the back of your fishing vest.

Todd C. : Great net for the money!!

This is a great net for the price. Comes with a super strong magnet and two different backup tethers in case the magnet fails. I’ve heard people talk about warpage and I can’t speak to that as I’ve had it for a few days but overall was very impressed. Thought it was going to be junk. Netted two 20”+ striped bass with no problem today!

Porch Song : Fantastic Net

Please note that the manufacturer changed the net at the bottom so there are no more "big" holes that fingerlings can slip through. This is a fantastic net. I'm very happy with the purchase and have recommended it friends.

Tim : Nice net

The elastic cord pulled apart while using it the second time out that did not feel good when it smacked me in the back. I switched over to the magnet and that is working good for me. The rubber net works good I like it better than the old time nets.

Razdin Keen : Pay close attention to the handle connection

My first trip out I realized the wooden handle had micro splits where the connection was inserted into the wood and resulted in it just popping out when going to pull the magnet. Flawed or poor quality control resulted in me being upset with the product. Embarrassing to have this happen on a trip in front of others. This will be the last FS net I will ever purchase. NOT RECOMMENDED

Brandon : Great net

I haven't experienced any problems where the net connects to the rim as is generally the problem with a cheaper net. I've landed over 40 Browns measuring anywhere from 12-20" and haven't had a problem yet. It looks like it would hold a big Laker just fine, but time will tell.

Richard Turnbow : I bought two, don't know how I fished without it

I liked it so well I got a second one for my son. We've caught big and little fish in this, but the only problem being a little fish tried to swim headfirst out of the upper halls and got his head stuck with his girls out. Took some time to get him free, but I had him floating up-right and happy in the stream after a bit.

Magnant makes this thing a dream. Worth the price just for the magnet and cord. I throw the elastic cord away. It has held up for almost a year now with very rough abuse, mostly from all the tools I dump on top of it accidentally in the back of my car. Fantastic product.

Stephen : Excellent choice for small trout

I almost bought a different net but then I read small fish would get their gills stuck on its larger holes. The net I purchased has small holes on the entire net, and I have had no such issues with even 3-4 inch brook trout.

Also, the magnet is powerful and works great! To reattach, I only need to reach the net behind my back. Make sure you also use the leash too, because sometimes the net will catch in a tree and detach the magnet.

Very pleased with this purchase!!!

Razdin Keen : Pay close attention to the handle connection

Pocket Water : Not fancy, but good enough

pedro spearshaker : Beautiful Burlwood...Sweet trout net!

Nice trout release net! Plenty large for up to about 22" trout...even though it only has a 16" clear opening... It is over 10" deep...any trout bigger...I will just have to suffer through it. ...Now they did say it was burl....but not much else. ..Wow...this net is beautiful! It has a super strong bamboo main frame laminated to a handsome burl wood handle...and the finish is flawless. .
The included magnetic release works perfect and the coil safety cord stretches further than I can reach.....Conclusion? ...I am a very happy customer!

Primeshopper : Good net for the money

Steve G : Nice net

Works well and comes with alot of choices for attaching to a vest. The net is sturdy and should hold up well. Its built of the same quality as the major brands at half the cost. I recommend it

browndog : Perfect for big rainbows.

I do not write many reviews but this net is awesome. Living in Alaska, I am an avid fly fisherman. I am blessed that native rainbows are large and plentiful. This net absolutely meets my needs and for its cost is incredible. It is well made, lightweight and the magnet is exceptional. I give it very high marks.

Bryan K : Cheaply made

First of all, The item showed up a day late, which seems to be happening more and more as of late with Amazon. Making me seriously reconsider my Prime membership. I guess two-day shipping actually means three or four day shipping. Anyhow, after unpacking the item, everything looked fine upon first inspection, until I actually tried it out. I connected all the rigging to the net and to my fishing vest correctly, and the first time I tried to pull the magnets apart, the 360 degree copper swivel pulled right out of the bottom of the handle, leaving me with just the net in my hand, and all the rigging still attached to my vest. Really??? Don't get me wrong, I was able to epoxy the swivel back in to place permanently, but I hate having to fix something that's brand new, that I paid good money for. I recommend looking for a quality net elsewhere.

John G : Very well made

The quality appears to be very good. I have not used it yet, so I will post a subsequent review once fishing season begins.

Aaron Adams : Excellent

I got the fishing net and magnet is on my vest works get never had a problem with it coming undone magnet is superstrong the net floats Would definitely recommend this product

Eric Wagner : It is sturdy, easy to use and the magnet clip is ...

This net is an absolute steal for the price. It is sturdy, easy to use and the magnet clip is a real game-changer. I was worried the netting would be cheap and get caught easily on lines, hooks, gills, teeth etc., but it performs great. I have never had to work hard to untangle or unhook anything, which allows me to release the fish with ease. I would buy this again.

Garrett H : Great construction, but bag design let's small fish through

This net is well built and a great size for attaching to a wading pack or vest. The only reason this net scores low for me is the large mesh holes in the bottom. I did not notice this while shopping, but I certainly noticed it on the stream. Any fish under 10 inches will easily slide through the holes, leaving you with your line now running through the empty net. If trout are your game, save your money and go for a net with a different mesh pattern in the bag

chase : Nearly useless

Well constructed, durable, and magnetic attachment and lanyard work well together.

The biggest fault is the nettinh itself. Firstly, it is not very deep compared to the size of the frame. This makes it mostly good for fish 12" or less else a fish can easily jump out unless the net is held perfectly horizontal. The problem with this is that fish 12" or less will fall right through the large holes in the net. Definitely can't handle small 6' Brookies which fall straight through.

The configuration of net depth and hole size means this net is nearly useless.

LCM : Good net, good quality

beth e : well it must be a great product since I seen on opening day about 15 ...

well it must be a great product since I seen on opening day about 15 people with the same net. lets hope it doesn't dry rot by the end of the summer

pedro spearshaker : Beautiful Burlwood...Sweet trout net!

Fitness Guy : Amazing value in a landing net for this price

I am delighted with the SF catch and release style landing net with the soft rubber mesh with SMALL holes. The construction and finish of the handle and hoop are beautiful and, importantly, the rubber mesh with small holes prevents little native trout from slipping right through the net. The overall length of 24" and inside hoop dimensions of almost !6" x 9" will also permit landing fish up to 20" when the need arises. The soft white rubber mesh prevents snagging brush while walking along the stream, and will not catch your fly hooks when the fish is netted. This is a very nice feature, especially when fishing multiple fly rigs where the lead fly or the dropper fly is flipping around when you're trying to deal with the fish in the net. So you have a very versatile net at your side. You can easily pay 2 or 3 times this price for a similar net but it will not function (or look, in my opinion) any better than this one. Also, the magnetic net attachment with furled retriever cord included with this landing net make it an incredible value for the price. I have been fly fishing for over 60 years and would say this is one of the better deals on equipment that I have encountered.

Bruce W Boggs : Works perfect

I ordered the round design and was not happy. They quickly exchanged it for the teardrop design which has a wider opening. Great company and product.

PK : Love it

Feels and looks like a high quality net. Perfect for snagging small trout, and the smaller holes in the net ensure that they can't slide through as another reviewer mentioned. This net might not be deep enough if you're catching some big fish, but for the types of streams and sizes of trout I catch, this net is perfect.

Brian k. : Well made and useful net

Love this net! Had everything I need plus more. Haven’t had any issues with hook getting tangled up like with other nets. About a month into using this net I noticed that it has a magnetic attachment so you can easily detach the net from the cable if needed. The magnet is very strong too so there’s no accidental detachments. Used this trout fishing and will prob use it for everything I fish for.

Todd C. : Great net for the money!!

Brian F. : Great Net.

Great product for the money. Landed literally hundreds of trout on a recent Alaska trip, no hooked nets or tangles.

Mike : Great value

Good quality, well made. The accessories are useful and we'll made. I wear on the back of my vest out of the way but still accessible. Anxious to see a fish in it.
