Frabill Conservation Net 17x19 MG 36" Slide Handle Tangle Free 16" Deep

The Frabill Conservation Net with 17x19 MG hoop and 36" slide handle is purpose-built for anglers who practice catch-and-release fishing. Whether you're working a trout stream, farm pond, or shallow flats, this net prioritizes fish safety without sacrificing durability or ease of use. The knotless mesh design eliminates the sharp knots found on traditional nets—a critical feature that reduces injury to delicate fish during landing.

Landing a fish is only half the battle; getting it safely into and back out of the net matters just as much. The 16" deep basket gives you plenty of room to secure your catch while the flat, linear bottom prevents fish from rolling and distributes weight evenly across the net. The tangle-free coating keeps hooks from snagging the mesh, which speeds up the release process and keeps both you and the fish calmer during the critical moment. MeshGuard™ hoops add real longevity to the hoop itself, protecting against the wear that comes from repeated use in rocks, sand, and brush.

The 36" slide handle extends your reach without the bulk of a traditional telescoping design, making it nimble enough for tight bankside work. The Pow'R Lok™ yoke connection is built to handle the stress of landing fish without flex or failure, and the premium rubber grip keeps your purchase even in wet conditions. This is a net that earns its place in your vest or boat—not through flashy marketing, but through thoughtful engineering that respects both the fish and your time on the water.
