Foldable Fishing Net Landing Pier Drop Net - Large Rubber-Coated Mesh

In this review the QualyQualy Foldable Fishing Net is assessed as a large, durable drop net aimed at anglers and crabbers who need a portable yet substantial landing tool. The bottom line: this net is best for anyone pulling baitfish, minnows, crawfish or shrimp from a dock or shallow water because its rubber-coated mesh and bendable steel frame resist wear and protect catches, while the folding design and included storage bag keep it easy to carry. It is a practical, fish-friendly option for work that demands a big mouth and a rugged build.

Key Features

• Rubber-coated mesh: The net uses a rubber coating over the mesh that is several times stronger than ordinary nylon and is gentler on fish skin during handling.
• Bendable soft steel frame: A soft steel ring wrapped with rubber protects the frame from corrosion and allows the net to be folded without losing shape.
• Large capture area: With a top diameter of 39in and bottom diameter of 31.5in the net gives a wide opening for easy scooping of multiple small creatures at once.
• Compact fold size: The whole net collapses to roughly 13.3 x 15.7 x 1.6in and fits into the supplied storage bag for transport and storage.
• Complete kit: The package includes the pier fishing net, a 15m rope and a bait net bag so it is ready to use from arrival.
• Small mesh spacing: A mesh size of about 0.3in reduces escape of tiny baitfish, shrimp and crawfish for more efficient trapping.

Who It's For

The QualyQualy net is aimed at anglers and hobby crabbers who work from docks, piers or shallow lake edges and need a large, tough net to retrieve baitfish, minnows, shrimp or small crustaceans. Its fish-friendly rubber coating and wide mouth make it useful for anyone who wants to reduce damage to live bait or delicate catches.

It is less suitable for anglers who need a telescoping handle for high-reach cast-and-scoop use or for those seeking an ultralight travel net under a pound; this net weighs about 2lb and folds but does not include a telescoping pole in the package.

Pros & Cons

Cons
