Simply flick the net head open and a spring-loaded, sliding nylon collar locates every time into the hinge block, providing a rigid, reliable net frame.. The tubular aluminium handles have strong, nylon belt/D-ring clips, plus non-slip foam grips. The lightweight, tubular aluminium frames support the knotless, rubber coated mesh bag, making these one of the most practical ranges of nets we’ve ever made.

15132/15133 Ranger Bank & Boat Nets
Two larger nets which are ideal for general river or stillwater fishing. The medium size makes a perfect small stillwater or river bank net, while the larger model doubles up as a river sea-trout net, or a perfect stillwater bank/ boat net, with its larger size capable of handling most sizes of fish you are likely to encounter.
Both models have simple ‘twist-lock’ telescopic handles, which can be locked in any position, while the larger model features twin, non-slip foam handle grips and an extra-long telescopic handle for boat fishing.
The large 23”x 19” teardrop frame has a 20” deep, 16mm rubber-coated mesh to prevent hooks tangling and avoid that unpleasant fish smell during storage. The handle has a foam grip plus a stainless steel clip to attach to a belt or D-ring, allowing 'out of the way’ storage whilst fishing, but readily to hand when required. Makes an ideal sea-trout, salmon or reservoir trout net.
Overall Length: 55"
Folded Length: 32"
Frame: 23" x 19" - 20" Deep
Easy as 1, 2, 3... a simple 'flick & twist' action opens and deploys the net
15172 Folding Salmon/Pike Landing Net with Rubber-Mesh
Two years ago we launched the smaller Folding Game Net. It soon became our top-selling landing net as anglers worldwide came to appreciate the simplicity of design. Soon after launch however, we started receiving requests from salmon and pike anglers for a larger model – so here it is! Working on exactly the same principle as its smaller brother – just scaled up, this model makes the perfect salmon or large predator net.
The entire net weighs in at just 915g/32oz. The large 27”x 23” teardrop frame has a 28” deep, 18mm rubber-coated mesh. Twin foam grips on the handle, plus a stainless belt clip, the extended handle provides an overall length of 70” for greater reach from both bank and boat.
The D-section aluminium frame is ultra lightweight yet offers amazing strength and rigidity. Attached is a hexagonal Rubber-Mesh knotless net which has a flat bottom panel for the fish to lie in – ideal for catch & release as this design minimises scale damage. The net comes with two telescopic aluminium handles. The shorter model is only 12” (30cm) when closed, providing an ideal river ‘scoop’ net, particularly for competition fishing. It telescopes out to 18” (46cm) for additional reach and fits within international competition rules for overall length. The second telescopic handle extends from a closed length of 25” (64cm) to a fully extended length of 45” (115cm), providing an ideal river bank or small stillwater net. Both handles are fitted with high-density foam grips.
Our top-selling 3-in-1 Hand Trout Net and Boat Landing Nets use of the latest generation of Rubber Mesh. The fine, hexagonal mesh has a rubber coating, which prevents it from absorbing water, so not only does it prevent the net from smelling of fish, but it completely dries, with just one shake. The rubber coating also prevents hook barbs catching in the mesh, which can be so annoying when you net a fish.
15113 Boat Landing Net
A popular design of landing net for the boat angler. The teardrop shaped frame has a flat front section, to slide quickly under the fish to minimise fish lost at the net.
The D-section aluminium is lightweight but remarkably rigid and strong, which together with the die-cast Y-piece, joins the frame to the handle.
Brass screw joint allows head to be removed when travelling
Telescopic handle with twist-lock mechanism
Twin foam grips for comfort
Handle length can be set at any desired position
Elasticated lanyard with clip to attach to the boat
Makes an ideal salmon /sea-trout net, when a fixed frame is required

Toby Bradshaw, Gowan & Bradshaw Ltd and Irish International
"Snowbee nets have always been designed by anglers for anglers. They are manufactured to standards that never leave the angler ‘wanting’ whether he be a competition fisherman or occasional salmon angler! The nets in the range are comprehensive and are sure to land anything that swims in freshwater. Their design means they are perfectly made to facilitate effective catch and release too."
A stiffened opening, holds the ‘mouth’ open, so getting a landing net in and out with one hand is quick and easy. Available in two sizes to suit different net sizes.
We now also have Rubber Mesh replacement nets available separately. Not only will this allow existing owners of our popular landing nets to up-grade to Rubber-Mesh, but they will also fit most other makes of net.

15120.1 Knotless Net – X-Large – for nets up to 94” circumference (Model 15120)
A unique range featuring the latest USA-style, moulded synthetic rubber mesh for minimal scale damage when fishing ‘catch & release’.
The lightweight, tubular aluminium frame, offers strength and rigidity and this is fixed to a moulded nylon Y-piece, attached to the lightweight ABS plastic handle, with a non-slip, moulded finish. Into the end of the handle is fitted a strong magnetic release, which is in turn fitted to a moulded ring and aluminium carabiner, for convenient and quick release, when required. The 'rubber mesh' is a synthetic rubber, made from the latest, clear, moulded PVC, which is soft, lightweight and clear in the water, so as not to spook fish. Graduated mesh size to reduce water resistance.
Available in a range of 3 popular sizes. The smallest is perfect for small stream & brook trout. The middlesize is a great ‘all-round’ net, whilst the largest will handle big brown trout, plus sea-trout & grilse.
15071 / 15072 Wooden Frame Hand Trout Nets - With Rubber Mesh
Made from laminated Red Meranti wood for strength and light weight. Available in two frame sizes to cover all requirements, from small wild brown trout in moorland streams, up to larger stocked brownies and grayling in the larger rivers. Both models are fitted with a fine 6mm rubber-coated mesh to avoid scale damage for catch and release, and also avoids unpleasant odour and hooks catching in the mesh. Fitted with a handle eye to which an elasticated lanyard and clip is attached.
Our black aluminium hand net with the ingenious ‘Bungee’ through the tubular frame, allows netting of the fish without unclipping the net from your belt. Uses our ¾” knotless nylon net. Very light and compact hand net, ideal for wading.
A simple lanyard and split ring, that allows you to attach your hand landing net to a magnetic net release, by the frame, rather than the handle, so the net handle points down to the side, exactly where you need it.
The smaller model has a magnet strength of 1.5kg, so is ideal for small trout nets worn on your back. The larger model has a magnet strength of an impressive 4kg, so is ideal for larger Sea-Trout or even smaller Salmon nets. Both come with split rings for attachment and an elasticated cord to keep you connected.
