Rubber-handled landing net with knotless mesh designed for wading and fly fishing.
This Frabill Conservation Ultralight slide handle net pairs an 18 by 21 inch hoop with a 48 inch sliding aluminum handle and a 16 inch deep knotless, tangle-free micromesh bag. The flat-bottom bag supports the whole fish for catch and release, and the handle slides out for one-handed netting from a boat or the bank. Rubber grip material and a rinse-and-dry care routine suit regular use around fresh water.
