PLUSINNO Fly Fishing Net, Bass Trout Landing Net, Folding Fishing Nets Fresh Water, Safe Fish Catching or Releasing

Very well made net. Lightweight, and attaches to a loop on the back of the fishing vest. Magnet holds the net securely. Easy to get to and pull off from the magnet holder, then snaps back together easily, mostly 1-handed. Bought on the recommendation of a friend who has the same net. I use it for mostly for steelhead fishing. My only regret is I should have looked for one with a telescoping or longer handle to accommodate the length of my rod (10-1/2 foot). Not a fault of the PLUSINNO net.

This net is a superb value but there are two ways that Plusinno could improve. First, the good stuff. It's well-made. I have used this net all over Wisconsin fishing from shore. I walk/hike a lot to relocate and this net has gotten caught in weeds and branches, and stepped on as I've attempted to ascend banks with NO damage. The rubber netting helps with conservation since it doesn't remove as much fish slime as other types of nets. I hook this net on my fishing backpack and head out. I know it will be reliably there. The net could be even better though, if the break away magnet wasn't the only place to attach a line. The magnet is strong, but I fear losing the net because of this. However, It is nice to not have to deal with a tether. The second improvement that is needed is with the belt clip which either needs to be oriented differently or the net needs to lock when folded. This would help me avoid snagging the next as I am trekking along the bank.

Good first-This is a great net for fish. The large holes are excellent for not tangling the hook or fish. My friend has a similar net with small rubber holes and each time a fish death rolls he has a mess.Bad-The fold feature is a joke. This net is not light either. Also, the net has a strong magnet and that connects to a clip for attaching to yourself or a backpack. Perks of that are it's easy to yank to unclip and scoop a fish. I've also had my friend pick up for me each time it unclips on a tree walking in the woods. I should have lost this net about 10 times already.Its a good net for the price. Heavy, wide, functional, likely to lose.

Ok. So this was a nice surprise. I got the squarish framed one. This thing is MUCH more well made than it looks in the photos. That middle hinge section connecting the handle section to the net hoop assembly is actually made of metal not plastic so once the plastic catch on the handle is slid in to the tapered channel in it, the interface is snug, not one bit of floppiness, the whole net is really sturdy and very lightweight. I initially bought this as a temporary net for a weekend trip while I looked for a higher end net but at this level of quality there is little reason to buy a “better” net. The netting material is also coated and soft and likely to be gentle on fish. These were my first impressions but after multiple trips and one incident I am convinced i don't need anything "better".As a testament to just how strong the frame is, and most definitely not something you want to test. On one of my trips I was walking a hooked fish to calmer waters with my rod and walking over sharp large granite boulders to get to the spot and had the net hooked to my back folded, I was not paying enough attention and fell between two large rocks and my upper back where the net was fastened landed on the sharp edge of a large rock.....So i practically had one foot on the forward rock, one leg hanging in the gap, and and my back on another rock. As I got up to inspect what i thought must surely be a broken net and a messed up back....i was so surprised to learn that not only was my back unscathed, I learned that the net was not broken, it only suffered a VERY minor scuff, no bend.STRONGLY recommended.

This net is awesome. Folds up well, seems sturdy, has a cool magnetic clip feature which allows easy access and deployability. I like the plastic netting as it is easier on the fish. This is a good versatile net for shore, boat, and fly fishing. Probably only good for fish up to 2-3 pounds at the most.

O pretty awesome net. I love the folding handle and base clip on the handle; I fold the net and then run the clip through the net and attach it to a molle strap on my tackle backpack. It’s great because it doesn’t add much to my backpacks overall size. This net is very lightweight and fairly sturdy, there is a little bit of wobble in the net when the handle is folded out. But that is to be expected because there is a joint in the handle. Both the net and the frame are very durable. The net is a rubbery type material that hooks have a hard time poking into. The fame of the net is metal (I believe aluminum) that is both lightweight and strong. When I take my son fishing he always wants to play with the net so it gets swung into trees and the ground like a sword and we still haven’t had any issues with the net.

It's a decent net and it's nice that it can be folded so it is compact, but when it is folded the handle always comes out, especially when I'm wading in the river and there's a current. I don't use the magnet in the handle anymore because the magnet came out of the handle and I dropped my net on the trail. I don't use the elastic on it either. I wish I could reverse the clip cause the way I carry it now makes it useless. I put a piece of paracord around the hoop at the top and attached the magnetic release (purchased separately) to the plastic attachment to my chest pack that goes around my neck. I just let the net handle hang down my back and sometimes I will tuck it into my wader belt. I only close the handle when I'm not using it. The hinge of the handle to the net seems durable and it's nice how easy it is to extend it, but I just don't use that much.

The media could not be loaded. The net works wonders for bluegills , trout , small bass and other pan fish . I cought a pretty decent sized carp and I could feel the bend in the net .
