Quick take

A 10-inch floating bait net with 3/16-inch mesh for netting live bait, tadpoles, or small fish from wells and ponds.

This small floating bait net from Ego is made for scooping minnows and other bait out of a live well. The plastic handle and 3/16 mesh bag keep it light and compact, and the net floats if it slips overboard. It also suits kayaks and small boats, and works for kids dipping a pond or fish tank.

Live well netting on boats and kayaks

Strengths

Floats if dropped overboard or in water

Trade-offs
