Title: Perfect backpack net
Review: I got this net to store in my backpack for fishing lakes that require a bit of a hike. It transports well, stays untangled, is quick to pull out and works great for the fish Iâm targeting. I havenât netted anything massive with it yet, but Iâm sure it could hold up to just about anything I need it for. It seems to be quite durable and a lot better than the old string nets I used in the past.

Title: Fairly compact, high quality fishing net that is sturdy and has several nice features
Review: I bought the second to the largest net because I fish from my kayak and need a longer reach from my watercraft. This net is perfect! I love it because it folds down and doesn't take up as much space when I'm not using it. It is sturdy and could handle a large fish (if I ever catch one). There are three features that I appreciate: 1. the net is made from some kind of material that doesn't seem to harm the fish's scales. My cheaper nets have been fairly rough and I worried that it was hurting the fish. 2. The handle is telescoping which is nice to extend the reach or keep it shorter if I'm fishing from shore. 3. The built in fish measurer is handy and makes it easier to get a good idea about how long the fish it.

Title: Great net
Review: This is a great net and I love how compact and portable it is. I do some urban canal fishing in Phoenix and this is perfect for pulling the very large grass carp that gets stocked in them. I had a 15lb fish the other day and the net handled it fine.

Title: A very compact fishing net.
Review: Not sure if the cam mechanism for locking the extended handle is sturdy enough. I do like that it folds up for getting to and from my fishing spot. Net capacity is significant for larger fish. Also will fit nicely in a car or truck when packing for the fishing trip. I like this one.

Title: Perfect size
Review: I was hesitant to order a net without first seeing it but went ahead. The price was good and the net meets my needs perfectly. Easy to use and is the perfect size for anything from crappie to bass. I think it would handle catfish under 15lbs and maybe bigger. I love that it fold up and store easily. My boat doesnât have a ton of storage so it was perfect for me

Title: The 17-13-16 hoop size was smaller than expected.
Review: I have purchased several Kast King rods and reels and have been quite satisfied with their products but I was not satisfied with this net. In full disclosure, KastKing sent me the 17â-13â-16â hoop size (fixed pole) net for free to try out and review. I am an inshore kayak angler and fish for Redfish, Trout, Flounder and other inshore species and occasionally do some Bass fishing. I have owned several collapsible nets. A failure point for these collapsible nets is the locking mechanism. The KastKing locking mechanism is made with a thicker, stronger, and heavier plastic and seems very durable. When I tried to snap the net into place, the hinged area on the locking mechanism was stiff and did not snap in place or close easily. I suspect it will loosen up and work better over time. The nylon covered PVC mesh is well made and the holes in the net are a bit larger than similar collapsible nets. This is a big plus to prevent hooks from getting tangled in the net. The net comes with a storage bag but a more useful and important feature would have been be to include a built in tether on the handle, in order to secure the net on your boat or kayak. Just because a net floats doesnât mean it canât drop into the water unnoticed and float away or get taken away by current. The measuring strip on the bottom of the net is not really functional as once you have a fish in the net itâs difficult to see the measurements. The one major problem with this net is that it is just too small. I was surprised by the smaller size of the hoop and net basket, so I took measurements to compare with the advertised measurements. The width of the net hoop is 16â, not 17â. The depth is accurate at 13â, although a depth of at least 15â would be much better. The length of the net hoop measured closer to 12â, not 16â. I tested the net on the water and netted several fish with it. The net handled fish measuring 17â or less without too much problem but when it came time to net a 24â Redfish, I had to scoop the fish in sideways and it filled the net. Fortunately, the fish was completely worn out and had stopped fighting when I netted it. If the fish had still been thrashing about, as many fish will do, I would have struggled to get it in the net. When catching bigger fish it is critical to have a net large enough, yet still maneuverable, to hopefully capture the fish on the first try. KastKing offers a larger, telescopic version, of this net with an advertised hoop size of 18â-17â-17â, which is a very appropriate size for most freshwater and inshore saltwater use. For anyone that purchases the larger net please take measurements and post a review as to their accuracy. The larger net may very well be a 4 or 5 star net but the best I can rate this net is 3 stars and recommend it only to those that are not targeting larger fish. I hope this unbiased review helps.

Title: Out with the old and in with the KastKing
Review: I decided to get the net because of its floating capabilities and the inner depth of the net area. I already have a net that I use on my small pelican bass boat. The issues that I have were almost losing the net on more than one occasion when it accidentally fell into the water. The shallow net area makes it difficult to land larger bass and I would often get my treble styled lures tangled up in the net, which is a complete pain.The KastKing net solve all of those issues. Iâm impressed with the thick floating mesh that helps prevent it from sinking if you accidentally drop it overboard. Being that non threaded material is used for a majority of the net, removing my lure is a heck of a lot easier now. While measuring your fish while itâs in the net isnât the most practical thing to do, having a measuring scale allows you to get a really close estimate of how long your catch is, which is nice.Although the extended handle is shorter compared to the other net I have, it is very well built and feels solid in my hand. The foam at the end allows for a more secure grip on the net. Locking the extension pole into position is done easily with a few twists. Simply slide the collapsing lever down to easily fold the the net in half for storage in the included storage bag.The fish grips that came with the kit are much larger compared to the one connected to my scale. It has a wider mouth for handling larger fish. I will definitely be swapping out my smaller one for this.Lastly, the included hook remover works as advertised. At first I thought it wasnât working properly when I initially used all four fingers to pull the hand back. I learn that using you lower two fingers for gripping and your upper two finger to pull the trigger works best and itâs actually very easy to pull back.Overall this is a well built bet and is definitely worth the money.Hope my review helps someone out there.
