Questions about SF Fly Fishing Landing Net Soft Rubber Mesh Trout Net Catch and Release Net
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
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"
Q:
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
Q:
Can I use this for 5lb largemouth bass?
Answer: Absolutely- no problem. Just landed a 4lb northern and had no trouble.
Q:
Is there option to purchase the model with the small holes?
Q:
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
Q:
What is the difference with the different color magnets, looks or function?
Answer: Looks only- no functionality difference
Q:
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
Q:
what is the inside hoop dimensions
Answer: Roughly 151/2"x81/2"
Answer: It is 15 3/4 by 9
Q:
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.
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
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
Q:
Are the dimensions listed in inches or centimeters?
Q:
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.
Q:
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.
Q:
Does the net float in the water?
Answer: Probably since it is fairly light.
Answer: yes
Q:
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
Q:
Do these float?
Answer: Well the frame is wood so it floats somewhat- just not high in the water.
Answer: Yes
Q:
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.
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
where is the net made?
Answer: china but it seems to be pretty well made
Q:
How much does it weigh?
Answer: Same as a standard net.
Answer: Not enough to worry about.
Q:
What is this for black ziptie
Q:
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
Q:
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
Q:
what is the difference in combo a, b, or c?
Answer: read the discriptions
Answer: read the discriptions
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
Is it really carbon fiber or just made to look like carbon fiber?
Q:
Do you sell the net without the magnetic net release? I already have two releases.
Q:
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.
Q:
can't see the size difference in the square head combos a, b, c, does anyone know?
Q:
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.
Q:
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?
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
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.
Q:
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
Q:
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.
Q:
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.
Q:
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!
Q:
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
Q:
does thus come with the magnetic keeper?
Answer: Yes
Q:
The lanyard on the one I just purchased came apart can you send a replacement or do I need to return the net?
Q:
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.
Q:
Is there a replacement net for the square head with small holes?
Answer: I am not aware of a replacement net.
Q:
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
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.
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.
Rick AZ : Good net, good price
First new net in years. Appears to be well built, like the idea of new materials that areless harmful to fish. The magnetic clip and line works great, much better than old elastic versions. like net at local fishing store were twice as expensive and did not come with magnet and cord, that was $18 more.
rick m : This is a decent net for the price. I've ...
This is a decent net for the price. I've used it for several months with no issues. There are a variety of attachments for it, I use the magnetic clip and the S caribiner to hook it to the back of my chest pack.
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.

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.
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
DougM : Small hole net: fantastic. The 2nd time I got it right.
My FIRST net was this net but with the BIGGER RECTANGULAR holes in the bottom. Worked fine for the stocker size trout around Missouri that we fish all the time.
However, as others have mentioned, I took the net to Colorado for some high altitude trout fishing. Up high in the alpine lakes, the cut throat and lake trout can be quite small. Many trout would skip through the rectangular holes in the net bottom. No good.
Well, my first net got stolen about a year ago. I reordered the same net, but I bought the net with the SMALLER ROUND holes this time. Badda Bing! This is the ticket. Went back to Colorado this summer and caught small high alpine lake trout as well as small arctic grayling (they only thrive above about 12k feet evelation). No fish slipped through the holes.
I like the soft rubber net because your hook doesn’t snag in the net like other nylon types.
I docked one star because my brass lanyard sauce pulled out of the handle like many others have experienced. Disaster? No. Disappointing? Yes. You need a solid connection since I’m using the magnet to hold the net and you have to pull snugly to get the net to release. Eventually the brass swivel pulled out of the hole. No biggie. I just cured some thick CA glue (super glue) and jammed it back in. It has held fine since then. If it ever pulls out again, I’ll use JB weld to reconnect it.
Love this net. Love the smaller holes.
I docked one star because the swivel pulled out and I had to do the minor repair.
These nets with small holes were not easy to find 2-3yrs ago. Everyone made bets with the rectangular holes only. I’m glad the manufacturer finally is offering this net.
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!!!

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
Pocket Water : Not fancy, but good enough

It's a good value, but don't be looking to impress your buddies with a classy net.
Amazon Customer : Product arrived in good condition. I didn't read any of the reviews ...
Product arrived in good condition. I didn't read any of the reviews until after I got the net. The holes at the bottom are slightly larger that the sides for some reason, but still small enough to hold an 8" rainbow. The handle seems fine, but the ring around the net is not solid. It does flex to the point where you hear it, but it feels fine with a Rainbow or a small bass. Size of the ring is OK, the net could be deeper. For the price it is a fine net. If you think you are going to be spending a lot of time fishing in the future, think of equipment as an investment, save up for the best. This is not the best. But if you are a beginner, or not sure if you will even like fishing it's perfect. Also it is good as a spare, or if you only get on the river a couple times a year and just want to upgrade from that old aluminum thing with green plastic net.
Frank F. : No hook tangled nets
This net has worked great, the rubber net does way better than the typical cloth type that loves to snag hooks and cause a mess when you want to get a fish back in the water quickly.
Collin Thompson : Good quality, large mesh
Net is very lightweight and the lanyard has saved it a few times already. It feels sturdy so far and the magnet on the lanyard is VERY strong. The holes in the net are just a hair to large for my application. I had about a 10" brook trout wiggle it's head out and get stuck around it's pectoral fins. I'm sure the smaller natives will have no trouble slipping through the mesh.
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.
Cameron Plantz : Looks good, feels cheap, kinda works
After unboxing I realized its not exactly what I was hoping for. The line holding the net to the frame seems super cheap and is already fraying. I have a feeling it’ll wear out quick. Key rings holding things together are junk along with the clips. Replacing with heavier key rings and zip ties. It’ll last for a month hopefully. Had the elastic band break on me while practicing with it on my back. Thankfully there wasn’t current or a fish involved. It’ll get the job done but going to need a lot of zip ties and I foresee repairs in the future.
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.
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
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.
J Eddins : Nice net
So far so good. I like the lanyard it comes with. The magnet holds it up out of the way, yet breaks loose when you need it. The flexible cable gives it plenty of room to move. Like when I snagged a tree with the net while walking up stream. and didn’t noticed till I felt a tug. The magnet let go and allowed the cable to flex and didn’t tear any thing up!
N. Conner : MUCH better than the nylon nets
MUCH better than the nylon nets, and much nicer to the Trout. Easy to clean, doesn't hold odor, and not too heavy to handle. VERY easy to release fish with, and with barbless single hooks, they often spit them out, and you don't ever have to handle the fish at all. It's easy to gently turn them out instead of having to shake them out of a larger, deeper net.
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!!!
Rick Templeman : Seems well constructed
Used it last trip of ‘19 to the Sierra. Was able to attach it to my creel fairly easily. Worked well.
Sue Manhood : Land that fish
It holds fish, and helps you get them back in the water fast. You forget about since it is light enough it isn’t banging around while walking through stream side brush, and stays out of your way until you need it.
The included lanyard and included magnets ensure you can put it away when your done.
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.
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.

Brett Sullivan : Love this net!
I absolutely love this net and take it with me on almost every fishing trip, strapped to my Orvis sling pack. The magnet release is very strong and holds the net securely while wading and walking at fishing spots. I have even hiked through woods and terrain and the net only disconnected once because it got stuck on a tree. The net itself is very sturdy and lightweight. Hooks don't get stuck in it due to the rubber material. This net makes landing fish a breeze!
Just beware if you are planning to catch smaller fish like smaller than 12 inches, this net does have large holes and the fish can get stuck in it.
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.
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.
Alex Hows : Great fish net.
This net is awesome. I love the look and the sturdiness you feel when handling it.
I've fished with this net a lot and have netted quite a few trout. It's easy to use and the magnet works very well if you've hooked it to the back of your vest or to your side.
The netting itself is very durable, I've hooked it to some rocks at one point and knew it wasn't going to rip.
Great product and would recommend.
Aaron Adams : Excellent

rick m : This is a decent net for the price. I've ...
This is a decent net for the price. I've used it for several months with no issues. There are a variety of attachments for it, I use the magnetic clip and the S caribiner to hook it to the back of my chest pack.
Dao : Good net for the price, but the size & shape of the net is a little odd
Bought this net to replace an older net with knotted mesh. Since the net was so inexpensive, I thought I would give the silicone type a try, and if I didn't like it, I wasn't out a bunch of cash.
I'll start with the pros... The net is pretty light weight and has decent construction. Nothing exceptional for the quality of the frame or the finish, but what can you expect for a net that costs a fraction of other nets on the market. The frame is actually much longer than I expected from the photos, but that didn't seem to pose too much of an issue other than looking a little disproportionate in the length vs. width of the frame.
The net quality is pretty good. The holes are small enough that the net can be used with smaller, wild trout, and the material does not snag flies when catching and releasing fish or when using a multiple fly set-up.
Now the bad... the net is very shallow. While this does not pose a problem with smaller fish under 15", the length of this net assumes it can be used for much larger fish. However, the net is just too shallow to prevent a decent fish from easily flopping out.
I'd hate to talk about the big one that got away because of the net design, so if you are in an area that holds larger fish, consider yourself advised and don't blame the net if you decide to use it in this situation.
Mikel : Great combo can't beat it in the stores
Found the same net for the same price at a local store today! Yet it did not come with the magnetic clip that was 12$ more so great buy

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.
John : Great net
Had for two fishing seasons now, holding up great. I sell the super high end nets at work...I got this and would again!
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.
RC : Needs finer netting
I thought a fly fishing net would ensure that the holes in the netting would be small enough to ensure that small mountain trout cannot fall through. That isn't the case here. I love every other feature, but all but the largest brook trout fall through the netting, or worse, get stuck in a hole.
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.
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.
Allen Mayhew : There's not a lot to say if the only adjective is WOW
There's not a lot to say if the only adjective is WOW, this is a fantastic trout net, very high quality, does what it say its supposed to do, releases the fish unharmed. Well worth every dollar this is a high quality net oh yes it floats ;) If you looking to buy a great quality fly fishing net I would highly recommend this one you can't go wrong. I absolutely love mine. 5 stars
Buying Frenzy : High Quality For The Price
This is a quality net and magnetic keeper. Soft and pliable. I priced similar elsewhere for as much as double the cost for the net alone
Keagan Christensen : Great customer service pay attention to which net you get. Some are better than others.
I originally bought one version of this for fly fishing but found that version didnt work very well as anything under 12 inches slips through the holes in the net which makes this terrible for landing smaller fish, anything over 16-18 inches were difficult to land because the opening is only 16 inches and 9 inches deep. However, i messaged customer service and found that the Carbon Fiber option has both smaller holes and a larger / deeper net for landing larger fish. They helped me get a refund and exchange for the net that will help fit my needs better.
fase : Quality Net, Strong Magnets
I recently purchased this net and haven't gotten a lot of use out of this just yet but the quality is pretty top notch. The magnet is exceptionally strong which makes reattaching it on my back very easy. You just need to get the 2 ends within proximity of each other and they snap right together. The clip & cord are also good quality.
JP : Catch more fish!
I had a wider metal framed net that would not fit into the back pouch on my vest. I purchased this net and it has worked well in both netting fish gently as well as slipping in and out of the pouch on my vest.
Brian F. : Great Net.
Great product for the money. Landed literally hundreds of trout on a recent Alaska trip, no hooked nets or tangles.
