RESTCLOUD Fishing Landing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle, Fishing net Freshwater for Kids Men Women, Extend to 40-63 Inches

*update 4/2/25- the seller contacted me after I submitted my original review and offered a refund AND upgraded replacement. I didn’t contact this seller nor plan on reaching out for any type of refund or compensation. For this, I’m giving a 5 star review. Great customer service! And I’m excited for my son to try out his new net. Net appeared to be sturdy and I bought this since it was compact and could easily be carried in my son’s fishing bag. Unfortunately, it snapped in half the first time he used it. I’m giving 3 stars because he hooked an 8 lb trout and I believe under different circumstances this net would have been just fine (smaller fish). I don’t regret the purchase, but will be looking for something more sturdy to replace this one.

Customer service reached out concerning the broken net. I had already purchased another one, same Restclould Net as I was hoping I just had bad luck. Customer service sent me the stronger net, which is the same great design but a lot stronger materials. The new net is much better for my son, he is having a ball catching frogs and fish... even a snapping turtle. I've had no issues with the net I purchased as a replacement but he prefers the stronger built net. I would recommend either but spend a couple dollars more for the stronger version, you won't regret it. Great company to deal with. Old review I have to admit.... I’m disappointed. Perhaps I received a dud but the top pole for the net broke after a day. I really liked the design and that the net was so portable. Bought it for my 11 year old to catch frogs at the pond. Nothing big or heavy. He had the pole extended all the way and it snapped at the connection for the telescoping. Very light weight and great design. Just needs to be a bit stronger. The broken net ended our fun.

It's a great design and it's very compact and easy to travel with. The net also doesn't tangle. The pole itself is hollow but feels sturdy enough for small to medium fish. It also extends and retracts as needed. I caught some bass while swimming under water with it but unfortunately I had the pole fully extended for one of them and since it wasn't designed to be used under water the pole snapped in half.

I purchased this item to skim algae off of the top of our horse trough. FIRST USE, skimmed algae, lifted-and the handle snapped completely into two pieces. The metal handle is paper thin and flimsy. Does not have the ability to bear any weight whatsoever. Terrible product all around.

Used to catch a little kitten that was running around outside my building. The net was strong enough and didn’t snap or break, and I’m so glad I had this to rescue the kitten!! I’m sure it is also great for fishing, would buy this again.

This net is great for packing into a backpack. It does not hold up very well. I had mine for about a month and used it on maybe a dozen fish. The first issue I had was with the mechanism that holds the net open. The clip that slides into place to hold the net open started getting really difficult to disengage to fold the net back up. I had to start hitting it with a stick or rock to get the net folded. Very soon after that, the glue that holds the aluminum and plastic fittings together failed at one joint. What finally killed it was trying to land an 8 pound catfish. I didn't lift the fish all the way out of the water but the maller shaft near the net failed and kinked. We all know that there is no bending aluminum back into place. It is good for storage and light duty but if you are going to be using it often or with medium to heavy fish then it is not the right product.

Reading the bad reviews and looking at the review pics makes one thing perfectly clear: people are misusing this net. They cheaped out and bought a lightweight net meant for smaller fish and claim it's bad because they should have bought a larger net. In other words, it's all user error. This is a great net at a great price. It's sturdy and well built, and most importantly -- it's meant for small fish. Three pounder trout? Yeah, excellent. 15 pound fish? Nope, go buy something bigger. Bank fishing? Yeah, this works great. You can pull out fish easily with it, especially if you're on a dock or other spot that puts a railing in front of you. It's easy to adjust the length and the net is nice and wide to scoop up a fish. If you need a net for your boat, this isn't it. Don't buy this. Go buy a bigger net.

The net is pretty sturdy. However the handle broke upon first use. Update. The vendor addressing the issue immediately. I'm giving it another try.

Muy útil y práctica, buen material; se ahorra mucho espacio ya que puede doblarse.

Good for the price. As described. Good experience.

Light net for small fish

Super kauft es Einwandfrei wen man fest Zieht ^^ Griff und das Netzt ist super und echt Langlebiger als gedacht also hält echt viel Gewicht aus

Bei der ersten Benutzung gleich kaputt gegangen. Sah bei der Lieferung schon etwas billig aus aber das hat manchmal ja nichts zu heißen. Dieses Produkt hätte man trzd einfach zurückschicken sollen. Hält absolut nichts aus und ist sofort in Zwei gebrochen. Ärgerlich…
