Rubber Landing Net

Featured Replies

I’m looking for a good Rubber landing net for bank fishing, I want something that’s not too heavy but portable. I also would like a deep net rather than shallow.

Rubber nets are always heavier (usually much heavier) than other nets. Deep ones are even heavier. Add a long handle to be able to reach a fish shore and it will be a challenge. You are going to have to see them in person to see if they are too heavy for you.

The term “rubber” regarding land net material severely reduces your choices. You should consider knotless nets designed for C & R. Silicone, polyurethane coated are often referred as “rubber” nets.

True rubber nets are heavy and very difficult to move through water.

Look up folding fish nets with collapse able handle, lots of choices.

I've fished from the bank for years without a net.

Isnt it a Royal Pain in the A@@ to bring bank fishing?

This is the one I have - use it on the boat and take it shore fishing - folds down nice and compact.

It is but it helps with treble hooks.

Frabil has a fantastic warranty. I've had to use it. That being said, I shouldn't have to use it. The net I warrantied had a fiberglass handle. Had to warranty it twice before I gave up. Based off experience, any and every net I will buy will have an aluminum handle and a wedge shape. Might not be such a big deal on a 5lb fish but, get a big pike or musky, or a salmon or trout, a wimpy net is going to fail. 

 

A couple weeks ago I watched a guy try to net a large salmon with a cheapo walmart net. Salmon broke thru the netting. I brought my net over to net the fish after it broke his but, it broke off before I was able to net it for him. Couldn't tell you the brand of the net. It's a fold up net and it is currently at the house in Wisconsin. It was given to me from a guy who retired from salmon fishing. It's very well made.
