Product Description

A must have for your fishing gear! Grab your net, use it, then let it go... It retracts back every time! When fishing, the 42" extension and 12oz retraction force provides arms reach and gentle retention of the net.

The Quick connect II is user-friendly and allows you to easily connect and disconnect your network. You don't have to worry about storing it like magnetic holders. If you cross through brush, you can secure the unit with the locking mechanism.

Questions & Answers

The hook and loop version and the snap clip version differ in what way?

In hook and loop, the strap is attached to the item by velcro instead of a snap It's really a matter of preference, but depending on the length of the velcro, you might end up with a larger diameter attachment point. It is a good clip Besides rings and belt loops, there are many other accessories.

What if I want to attach this loop gear keeper loop to a 2 inch wide wading belt? In other words, is it long enough to attach to a 2 inch wide wading belt?

That seems to be the case. With its clips, you can attach any type of ring to it.

Can you give me an idea of the length of the piece in inches? Is Payne there?

I measured mine and it looks more like 36 inches rather than 42 inches as stated in the product description.

It sometimes happens that my net (Frabill 13x18) gets snatched several feet downstream when wading waist-deep in stronger currents. What a pain! How can this be fixed?

In the video I attached my net, I don't know if you use a sling bag, vest, or whatever. As long as the net is attached to the retractor at the midpoint, plenty of pull will be available to net a fish and the net will be pulled out of the water, thereby reducing the This should be of some help

We'll design and make a well made product just as we expected

5/5

As I was looking at magnet retentions for a Trout net, I came across this one and decided to buy it. Your net is easier to put away if you remove it first. There is no difference between Orvis and Peregrine's except for the label, but Orvis sells their version for two bucks more The rest is the same. Despite its size, the cord is strong enough to handle 12 ounces. In addition to the vest, I can hang the hanger clip from a belt if I do not want to wear.

The retractor is very strong

4/5

In the past, I've used magnetic net holders, but decided to rehabilitate the way I set up my fly outfit this year. In order to keep the net out of the way, I mounted the retractor high on my rear bag. This allowed the net to stay out of the way for most of the walk into the river and while Unlike elastic net keepers required with a magnetic holder, the retractor cord did not get in the way when landing fish. Likewise, the net was easily accessible when landing fish, and the cord was out of the way and out of the current. As soon as I released the fish, the net quickly retracted and was in its original position. I haven't used it long enough to comment on durability, but I hope I'll have it for a while.

An excellent piece of equipment

5/5

It basically consists of a lot of ups and downs This is a heavy duty zinger made by PZ, but it is the best one I have Magnets are so much worse for the environment You can also use wading staff connectors or netkeepers of this style.

A practical approach

5/5

Whenever I have needed a bungy net tender, I have used one. My only regret is that I never found the hammerhead sooner! With the net hanging from a loop in my jacket, I keep it tucked away at the back of my backpack. Here is my fishing line, which has plenty of length to catch a fish if I need it.

Having trouble with my Internet? I've solved it! I used this to attach my fishing net to my fly-fishing rod A great device for attaching my net to my fishing vest

5/5

I couldn't find a good way to attach my net before this one. I believe this is the same as the Orvis version but at a lower price.

I have tried lots of different ways to carry landing nets and keep them from getting lost while wading and fishing

5/5

This is the most effective way I have come across. You can fly fish. I've found that this is the quickest and most effective way to do it.
