Quick take
A floating aluminum landing net with foldable frame and built-in measuring scale for catch-and-release.
This KastKing Pontus is a compact landing net with a 16-inch triangular hoop that folds flat and a telescopic aluminum handle. The EVA foam grip floats, so the net is easy to recover if it slips into the water. A length scale on the net lets you measure a fish while it stays in the net, and the 6.35 mm nylon mesh suits catch-and-release bank or boat fishing. It weighs about 0.51 kg.
