I use this net daily while wading in small streams. It’s much lighter than my previous model and stays secure even in rough conditions. The rubber-coated bag doesn’t snag on rocks or branches, which is a big improvement.
Benjamin Short –
The aluminum frame is solid and the handle grip stays firm even after hours of use. I attach it to my net keeper with the rubber loop and it stays in place without slipping. Great for long days in the field.

It’s compact and easy to pack. The net bag holds up well in water and doesn’t tear easily. A small improvement would be a slightly larger opening, but overall it’s reliable and lightweight.
