Quick take
A catch-and-release landing net with knotless rubber mesh and a collapsible telescoping handle.
This Ranger Nets 458TS is a knotless landing net with a rubber-coated nylon flat bottom and 3/4-inch mesh openings, so a fish can rest across the bottom while you work the hook free. The 20 by 20 inch black aluminum hoop and telescoping octagon handle, about 29 to 45 inches long, collapse for storage in a kayak, canoe or bass boat. It suits catch-and-release anglers who want a compact net.
