RESTCLOUD Bait Net and Fishing Landing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle Extends to 59 inches

Broke within 10 minutes of putting it together and all we were using it for was to catch minnows. The handle broke in 2 places just swooping the net thru water. At best, the most the thin flimsy handle could hold up to would be a butterfly catcher - - - and only if the butterfly was little. A total waste of money. I contacted the seller to give them a chance to rectify the crappy product they are selling, but never heard back. My advice: STAY AWAY!!

the handle is sturdy and well constructed, but the ring of metal at the net is cheap and hollow—it bent right away and eventually snapped. The net material was flimsy and tore. This net did not make it through a single fishing trip. I would have returned it, but we ended up beating the crap out of it just trying to make the best of it for the rest of the day. Complete garbage, Amazon-to-landfill in a day.

I purchased this net for my 7 year old daughter who loves to catch anything that moves in the water at our pond. She puts on her waders and uses this net daily. The features that make this net perfect is that it is tough and doesn’t bend out of shape like she has done with so many other nets. She is extremely rough with nets. She also does like to let anything get away and this net has very small mesh, like a minnow bucket dipping net. This net was everything she wanted especially the extendable handle with the awesome grip. I searched for a long time to find a net this perfect for my daughter.

I haven't fished for decades so I didn't buy this bait net for fishing. I bought it for bat-snatching! I learned how to catch a bat after a fews, one at a time, got into my house. A friend suggested using his bait net which worked in snatching but the holes were so large that a bat could escape, sometimes before I got it out of the house to free it. But my problem was solved when I found this net. The mesh is tiny so no bat invader can escape inside. Besides it's the most gorgeous neon green, beautiful. I love it and recommend it.

There is nothing bad I can say about this net. For the price, it's really got the competitors beat!This net has a nice telescoping (old radio antenna-style) pole. It really shortens down to a nice compact size which fits nicely in a hiking pack kit.This also has the ability to lock in place, so the pole becomes very rigid and can stand up on it's own. Some of the other styles of telescoping poles seem to not want to lock into place well, and become unstable, but because of this pole being of a thicker diameter, it easily locks and becomes a decent weight to hold a good amount of payload. Could probably hold up to 6 lbs. or more, though I have not tried. It's definitely supple enough.The basket material is also durable, and nicely made. Seems like it would be simple to replace should it get torn.Overall Rating: A++

I used this recently to catch blue crabs. The handle bends so much in the water when trying to scoop them up. I feel like its only a matter of time before it snaps.Edit: I’m bumping up my review of this net because of the customer service this company provides. After writing my first review, the company refunded my purchase without me even reaching out to them. The net is flimsy, but it’s an excellent price. If it does happen to break on you, know that this manufacturer has your back.

I bought these for my kids- ages 7 and 12 to go play in the river and lake by our house. They love to catch fish without using a traditional fishing pole with hook. I purchased another brand but the poles were really short and net wasn’t that deep- needless to say they had difficulty. I purchased these because the pole extends and the net is larger. They have had a great time with these and have caught a lot of fish. One con- the part that you grip has a strong rubber smell that transfers to your hands but for the price this is not a big deal.

I was really looking for a net with a wooden handle for the sturdiness but was unable to find one and saw this with a telescoping handle. This seems like a great idea because the net is for a child to use on the beach so the thought of different handle lengths is appealing. The only drawback is that I have difficulty making the telescoping feature work. It might just be me but the telescoping feature seems harder to use than it should be. I fear once sand and water get on it that the telescoping feature will not work at all so time will tell.
