Aluminium Alloy Single Section Triangular Folding Dip Net for Fly Fishermen, 80cm Total Length, Portable Red Net

This single section triangular folding dip net is built for fly fishermen who need a reliable, portable net that won't weigh down their kit. The aluminium alloy frame keeps the net light enough to carry all day, while the viscose mesh is kind to fish, making catch-and-release simpler and safer. The triangular shape offers a wide 37cm port opening that scoops effectively, yet the whole net collapses to just 47cm in length and roughly 10cm in width for tucking into a bag or vest pocket. Whether you're wading a river or bank fishing a stillwater, this net provides a practical solution without the bulk of traditional fixed-frame nets.

Features and Construction

Designed with the mobile angler in mind, this dip net combines a sturdy alloy frame with a soft viscose mesh. The single-section folding mechanism means it sets up quickly without complicated hinges or joints.

Material and Build

The frame is made from aluminium alloy, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust. The netting uses viscose, a smooth synthetic fibre that reduces friction against fish scales, helping prevent damage during handling. The connection points between frame and mesh are securely sewn to withstand regular use.

Size and Practical Fit

With an overall length of 80cm, the net gives good reach from the bank or while wading. The net port measures 37cm wide and 33cm deep, suitable for landing typical freshwater game fish. When broken down for travel, the net shrinks to 47cm in length and roughly 10cm in width, fitting neatly into most daypacks or fishing holdalls.

Uses and Placement

This folding net is designed for fly fishing and general freshwater angling where portability is critical. Its compact folded size and lightweight build make it a natural companion for roving anglers.

Event or Professional Use

Guided fishing trips and competitive events often require moving between spots quickly. This net packs down small enough to clip onto a vest or stash in a gear bag, letting you stay mobile without leaving your landing net behind.

Everyday Home Use

For the weekend angler or those fishing local stillwaters, the net's easy deployment and fold-away storage mean less hassle before and after sessions. It can be kept in the car boot or shed without taking up excessive space.

Benefits and Buying Value

The main advantage of this net is its combination of a wide, functional opening with a genuinely compact folded size. This makes it a cost-effective tool for anglers who prioritise ease of transport.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Both the aluminium frame and viscose mesh are simple to clean with fresh water after use. The materials resist corrosion and rot when properly dried, so the net can serve many seasons with basic care.

Why Choose This Product

Instead of a bulky fixed-frame net, this folding alternative offers equivalent landing capacity in a fraction of the stowed volume. It satisfies the need for a practical, durable net that fits into a mobile fishing lifestyle.
