Friends, I used fish dip nets for catching Game Fowl for years, and usually the bird would get tangled up in the net. I have even had to cut the net to free the bird. This net is designed specifically for catching birds. I have tried a variety of bird catch nets. Most of them did not work very well. The netting was too stiff, or the opening was too large so I couldn't turn the handle sideways to trap the bird, etc. Then I bought a Replacement Bird Catch Net from J.A. Cissel. and put it on my existing frame. This worked so much better than all the other catch nets I had tried. But, the Standard fish catch net frames are fairly short, cheap & not very well made. They tend to get loose or break where the frame attaches to the handle. The overall length of this frame is about 16" longer than a standard frame. I have found the extra length makes a big difference in catching birds. This is the only catch net I use anymore. It is the Cadillac of catch nets, sturdy, well designed, with excellent quality soft netting. Weight: The frame & net weigh 2 lb. 6 oz. My old fish dip net frame that I was using weighs approximately 13 oz. so the new frame is about 2.5 times heavier & considerably stronger. Tip: With the bird running along a fence, etc. Very Quickly push the net in front of them & they will run right in. Directions: After catching the bird, give the handle a 90 Deg. turn to trap the bird, then reach your hand in and retrieve the bird without having to untangle it from the netting, or just move the bird to a different pen turn the handle back 90 Deg. let the net down to the ground and the bird will walk free.

Huge Disappointment
This is definitely one of the more expensive Poulty nets on the market so I was expecting quality. I've gone through numerous poultry nets over the years and don't mind paying for something well built. This net arrived in parts with absolutely no instructions. I have a college degree and could not figure it out. When I finally did get it assembled, the ring broke off of the handle the 3rd time I used to catch birds. Total trash.

Excellent quality well made
This product is/was being used in our home to "corner" bats. Yes, we had bats in our home for a while. (Where they came from we have no idea) The unit is made of sturdy aluminum and is of excellent quality. I'm sure it is great for finishing as well.

Small net
Short net with metric tightened. This is more in line with $29.95 instead of $72. I’m returning as it’s not worth it and way too short.
