EGO Fishing Net, Kayaking & Wading Design, Floating Net, Salt & Freshwater, Non-Slip Grip, Kayak Tool, Aluminum Clip on Tether, Warranty

Bought the 17”x19” rubber net with long handle first. This is a miss IMO; depth of the rubber basket is only 6” or so, which is too shallow for a net of this size. Lost my first coho this year because he flopped right out of it. The rubber material is also too thick and heavy, makes the net hard to balance and use with one hand while landing a big fish solo. I like the design and shape of the hoop though, and once you break off the useless red handle part it is incredibly light for its size. I have bought a 14”x16” nylon mesh net for my kayak and wade fishing as this is a more appropriate size for most of the fishing I do. The deeper mesh basket should keep 4lb-8lb salmon in the net better despite the smaller circumference hoop, I just keep the mesh tucked to the handle with a rubber band when not in use to prevent snags.The nice thing about EGO nets compared to no-name internet brands is the availability of parts, which are interchangeable between nets. Because I have 2 EGO nets now, I can swap heads between handles to suit my needs.

Great net, a little on the pricey side but the rubber netting does not get hopelessly entangled with my treble hook lures, so worth the extra money. My only complaint is the handle is very short for my kayak. Looking at the reviews this was expected so I too extended the handle using 1in PVC and grip tape. For the price, it would've been nice to have a telescoping handle.

The net arrived broken. The handle is bent. The packaging was in good condition so it appears EGO sent it out already bent. I was hoping to use it this weekend but now I have to keep it “new” to be able to return it. Really disappointed. The net itself looks nice but this is unacceptable.The price of this item has now gone up by $8, I should be able to purchase it again for the same price I paid this first time.

After using a few times, this fell out of my kayak and sunk in the ocean. Be careful to connect to a strap, as it doesn't float!!!

I’m an avid steelhead and trout fishermen and tried multiple nets to carry while wading. Nothing has compared to the EGO for it’s sturdiness. The rubber netting is great for catch and released fish with no harm and I’ve landed a bunch of 8 + lb brown trout and steelhead with this net.

I took this net out on a trip after receiving it a couple of days ago. The net itself performed well. The only problem is that I no longer have it as the bungee cord that attaches it to my belt failed and the net was lost in the surf. If you purchase this net (and I think I will have to do this again), the first thing you should do is remove the bungee that is included and replace it with a length of paracord. I plan on drilling a hole in the handle and running the cord through the hole. The net was a good value at $32. Now that I am effectively paying $65 for it, not so much.

This is a great net and I use it wade fishing, but all the straps fail at some point. It is a design flaw by Ego. In 1 case my friend lost the net entirely. I have bought several now for myself and friends.

This net is the right size for wadeing the Texas gulf coast. Basket is not real deep, so for a large fish it might be an issue..Otherwise, good quality. The part that could be improved is the float. It seems like an afterthought. It's a hard plastic bulb right on the handle up to the hoop. Works ok, but I could see this being cracked and leaking eventually. It also just looks sorta out of place. Same net with a foam float around the handle or hoop would make more sense to me.
