Quick take
Aluminum net with rubber mesh that extends 45 to 60 inches, sized for holding fish of various sizes without harm.
This large landing net pairs an aluminum telescoping handle that adjusts from 45 to 60 inches with a 23 x 18 inch hoop and a deep soft rubber net. The rubber mesh is meant to cut down on hook tangles, which suits catch and release for bass, trout and walleye. It works from a boat, dock, pier or bank, and the handle retracts for storage in a boat compartment or gear bag.
Best for
- Landing bass and trout from boats or docks
- Fishing from piers or riverbanks where reach matters
- Freshwater and saltwater fishing from various platforms
Skip if
- You need a hand net for ultralight trout
- You prefer a higher-sided net for boat work
Strengths
- Soft rubber mesh reduces tangles and injury to fish
- Two-section pole retracts to compact size for storage
- Deep 19.5 inch net design helps contain thrashing fish
Trade-offs
- At 1.85 lb it requires some arm strength to hold extended
- The wide 23 inch hoop can be cumbersome in tight spaces
- Aluminum connectors conduct electricity in lightning risk
Fishing fit

- Freshwater
- Saltwater
