Quick take
A compact folding net with aluminum handle and quick-drying polyester mesh that opens to 13x10 inches for landing fish from boat or shore.
This South Bend folding net pairs an aluminum handle with a polyester net and a drop-shaped hoop that collapses for carrying. It weighs about 4 ounces, so it rides easily in a tackle bag or on a kayak or boat. Anglers fishing fresh or salt water, or through the ice, can keep it as a compact landing net.
