Quick take
Stainless-steel retractable tether with forty-two-inch extension for hands-free net access.
This retractable net tether from Gear Keeper keeps a fly fishing net hanging within reach and pulls it back out of the way when you are done. It extends 42 inches and uses a Quick Connect QCII fitting so a net clips on and off easily. A snap clip mounts to a vest, wader or kayak D-ring, which suits fly anglers and kayak anglers who wade or hike through brush.
