Quick take
An ultralight net that folds small for backpacking and fly fishing streams, with soft rubber mesh for catch and release.
This collapsible landing net from MYSOAS folds down to roughly 8.7 by 5.9 by 2.2 inches and weighs about 7 to 8 ounces, so it slips into a pack or vest pocket. It opens to about 18 inches long with a rubber-coated mesh that is gentler on fish than bare knotted netting, which suits catch-and-release trout and small freshwater species. A non-slip ABS handle and a memory-metal frame make it a compact pick for tenkara, creek and kayak anglers.
Best for
- Backpacking trips to remote creeks and streams
- Hikers who want to fish along the way
- Tenkara and ultralight fly fishing
Skip if
- You frequently land fish over 2 lb
- You need a net that stands up to heavy use
Strengths
- Weighing only 7.4 oz, this net packs easily in a vest pocket
- Hexagonal rubber mesh protects fish scales during catch and release
- Folds from 18 in to 8.7 in for compact storage
Trade-offs
- The ultralight frame can bend or break under pressure
- Soft rubber mesh tears easily on sharp rocks or sticks
- The small net head limits use to small to medium trout
