Quick take
A rubber mesh landing net with a 14-inch hoop and fixed aluminum handle for all fishing types.
The Ego S1 Slider is a compact landing net with a clear rubber mesh bag on a 14 by 16 inch hoop. The head is replaceable and the aluminum handle extends and folds, so it packs down for a boat, kayak or bank trip. Rubber mesh is a common pick for catch and release because it is gentler on a fish's slime coat and snags fewer hooks. It suits freshwater and saltwater anglers who want a small net that weighs about a pound.
Best for
- Catch-and-release fishing where gentle handling matters
- Both freshwater and saltwater fishing
- Situations where mesh snagging concerns you
Skip if
- You need a very large net for trophy bass
- You want a net with a fast fold-down design
Strengths
- Soft rubber mesh is gentle on fish scales and slime coat
- 14-inch hoop is practical for most freshwater and inshore fish
- Replaceable net head allows easy maintenance and customization
- Rubber resists tangles better than traditional knotless nylon
Trade-offs
- Fixed handle is less versatile than telescoping options
- Rubber mesh is slower to dry than nylon
- 1 pound weight adds bulk compared to folding nets
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
