Frabill Conservation Net 17x19 TD 36" Slide Handle Clear Rubber 11" Deep

The Frabill Conservation Net 17x19 TD with 36" slide handle is purpose-built for anglers who want to land fish safely and release them in good condition. With a 17" × 19" teardrop hoop and clear rubber netting, this net lets you land your catch while minimizing stress on the fish—critical for catch-and-release fishing where fish health matters.

Clear rubber netting is the standout here. Unlike traditional dark mesh that spooks fish, the transparency keeps your underwater movements less visible, giving you a cleaner approach and better hook-up rates. The knotless construction protects the fish's protective slime coat, which is essential if you're practicing true conservation and want released fish to survive and thrive.

The 36" slide handle gives you reach and control from the bank or boat without forcing you into awkward positions. The flat-bottom design—a thoughtful detail—actually supports the full length and weight of the fish during the net, reducing the injury risk that comes with fish thrashing in a curved net. Combined with the ultra-durable Pow'R Lok yoke and premium rubber grip, this net is built to handle years of regular use. At 11" deep, it's proportioned to secure fish firmly once netted, whether you're working a slow river or a shallow lake.

If you're serious about catch-and-release or fish conservation, this is the net designed for your ethic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is clear rubber netting better for catch-and-release fishing?

Clear netting keeps your movements underwater less visible to fish, which means fewer spooks during approach and a cleaner landing. Combined with the knotless design that protects the fish's protective slime coat, it's designed to reduce overall stress and injury on the catch.

What does the flat-bottom net design do?

The flat bottom supports the full length and weight of the fish once netted, distributing pressure more evenly and reducing thrashing injury compared to curved-bottom nets that bunch the fish into a tight pocket.

Is the 36" handle long enough for boat and bank fishing?

The 36" slide handle provides reach for most boat and bank situations. The sliding design lets you extend or retract as needed, making it versatile for different water heights and positions.

What is the Pow'R Lok yoke?

The Pow'R Lok yoke is Frabill's ultra-durable connection between the handle and hoop, engineered for strength and longevity during repeated use and the stress of fighting and landing fish.
