KastKing Brutus Fishing Net, Foldable Extendable Fish Landing Net, Lightweight & Portable Fishing Net with Soft EVA Foam Handle, Holds up to 44lbs/20KG, Fish-Friendly Mesh for a Safe Release

The media could not be loaded. I bought this net for 50 bucks and it came with a carry case. Ive used it and have some pros and cons. Its a great net and i think its worth the price. Also if your a carp or cat fisherman get one if you can afford it, its not good to take a top predator like a trophy cat out of the ecosystem. So pros for this net would be its easy to get a hook out of it without destroying the net. Its long and can handle a good bit of weight and its got the rubber coating to protect the fish and their slime barrier. It dries out quick and comes with a carry case and it also has a ruler on the handle for easy measuring. Its great. Some cons would be the extension handle on mine just keeps spinning and doesnt lock in place. Its not a big problem but over time i dont know how the extension will hold up. Its really easy to open but it will pinch you if you dont watch your finger. And i wish the bag had a zipper and opened all the way down it. This would make it easier to dry out and easier to put back in but again this really isnt a problem for me. Thats it. I dont have any reason not to give this five stars besides my knit picking. I love it and im glad ive got to use it before old man winter gets here. Cant wait for the spring so i can use this every day. Seriously love it and if your thinking you need one this net is awesome for the price. Now i can safely handle the fish and not feel guilty when i drop one or the leader breaks off in its mouth when i try to wrangle it in. Its made my life way easier and i stay dry. It also gives my wife something to do when i catch a fish she is the official "net guy" now!

It's very heavy but is sturdy and works well!

This net is wonderful for the price. Let me get the negatives out of the way first.The bag that it comes in is cheaply made, doesn't slide on and off easily, and is a bit of a pain to use. I might eventually use it sometime when the net inside it is completely dry and I'm traveling somewhere and the net has to be packed in with other non-fishy stuff. Otherwise, I won't. I can't say that I really care about this, though, as I didn't buy it for the bag. The net was shipped in a massive flat box that was many times larger than the net and there was nothing else in the box. The net clearly bounced around in the box on its way to me, but once it was dusted off there was no damage to it at all due to its very solid construction (more on that later). I also didn't really mind this. Now, for the negative that I did mind. There were some machining marks on the metal hinge mechanism that made folding and unfolding the hoop not quite smooth. It still worked, but took more effort than it should have. These were easy enough to detect and fix with a quick smoothing with a file. I also added a bit of marine grease to make it even smoother while I was fixing this, and now it folds and unfolds really easily and smoothly.Now that I've covered the negatives, let me cover the positives. This net is GREAT, especially for the price. It is very strong, even with the handle fully extended. I generally only extend it enough to get the handle slid all the way out of the hoop since I'm usually fishing on my kayak. Even so, I extended the other section and played around with picking up various heavy items in my garage to amuse myself since it was built so well. I hope I get a chance later this year to lift a big salmon out of the rivers when we're banking fishing. I have no doubt that it will handle it well. It also packs up very small for its full size without compromising hoop strength or being too narrow at one end like most collapsible nets. I used it yesterday out on the kayak fishing and netting well over 20 fish (it was a good day) and it worked great for every one of them.If not for those machining marks that I had to clean up to make it perfect, I would have rated the net five stars for sure. Many people may not have cared about that, but I'm an engineer and always want my gear to work as well as it possibly can. At this price point, there's nothing else on the market that can compare to the quality and value of this net. I know of at least one more of these that has been purchased due to seeing mine. I expect that there will be many more. :)

Bought this for my smaller pond boat. Works great. Appears to be well made. Haven't caught anything big enough yet to need it. I am sure it will hold up just fine based on my experience with my other Kast King products.

I bought the 19\20\18 size net. Let me say it is huge, and I love it. I have the typical Frabil folding extendable mesh net like most. The issue with that net is because it is mesh it takes forever to get hooks out of it. I dreaded landing fish with it if using anything with treble hooks. Additionally, it was pretty rough on any fish that were landed. So I buy the Kastking Brutus net and let me tell you once again...this thing is huge. I wanted a larger net anyway and this did not dissapoint. I also love that the mesh is coated in PVS so easier to remove hooked fish and easier on the fish itself. Now the fish grips and the hook remover that come with it are just cheap freebies really...I gave those to my son...and really any one who buys this set could gift those items to someone else as well. What you pay and what you get makes this deal a positive for the consumer. I must say I got this at a discount as a Prime deal so what I paid may not be what you paid but trust me the competition is almost double the cost. I have looked and I have been in multiple Bass Pros and Cabela's trying to find a large PVC coated extendable net at an affordable price and this is the only one I could find. Buy with confidence on this one!! I may add the silicone net as well at a later date!!

I was concerned about the folding, but i was able unfold it one handed while fighting a 28 inch red grouper. The grouper was hoping it would be a little more difficult.

This combo is a great addition to my bass fishing gear. I primarily ordered it for the net. The hook remover and accessory for holding fish aren't so applicable for me since I primary fish LMB, so I will focus on the net. First of all, because it folds and has a bag, it is very portable for bringing to ponds. The net itself appears to be of a high quality silicone. The frame is metal and the folding hinge looks to be a fiber reinforced plastic. All of this leads to it feeling sturdy and durable. The only minus point is the telescopic handle as I wish it could be locked in place once extended. I recommend this product.

Hallo,Sehr stabil und lässt sich wirklich schnell zusammenklappen aber das beste ist er durch das gummibeschichtete Netz Ruck zuck trocken ist und die angeltasche im inneren trocken lässt wirklich zu empfehlen.

This is a excellent quality fishing net, perfect for trout, carp etc. The extending feature makes it easier to land fish from the side of the loch too. Been using it now since start of the summer and had plenty of fish through it. Still looks like new, no holes etc in netting, and the provided storage bag makes it easy to carry. It's also light so again easy to carry with the rest of the gear...

Great fishing landing net, arguably the best I have owned over the years. Compact, sturdy, good for medium/large size fish.

The fish net is of good quality, but a little heavy
