Frabill Conservation Net 20x23 MG 36" Slide Handle Tangle Free 18" Deep

The Frabill Conservation Net in 20x23 MG with 36" slide handle is purpose-built for anglers who practice catch-and-release fishing. This net prioritizes fish safety without sacrificing durability—a tough balance to strike when you're landing trophy-sized catches. The 18" depth gives you plenty of room to secure your fish during the netting process, while the 20x23 hoop dimensions handle a wide range of freshwater and light saltwater species.

What sets this net apart is its knotless mesh construction. Traditional knotted nets can tear fish scales, damage gills, and tangle hooks—especially frustrating when you're trying to get a healthy fish back in the water quickly. By eliminating those sharp knots entirely, Frabill's design reduces injury to your catch. The flat, linear bottom prevents fish from rolling around inside the net, which helps minimize stress and keeps the entire load supported evenly.

The 36" slide handle gives you reach without excess bulk, and the rubber grip stays comfortable in wet conditions—critical when you're working fast. The tangle-free coating wraps your mesh, so hooks slide off cleanly rather than snagging into the netting itself. MeshGuard™ hoops extend net life by protecting where the mesh connects to the frame, so your investment holds up through season after season of use. The Pow'R Lok™ yoke holds the hoop securely in place, and the ultra-durable construction means this net won't let you down on the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this net good for catch-and-release fishing?

Yes. The Conservation Series was designed specifically with safe catch-and-release in mind. The knotless mesh eliminates the sharp knots that typically cause gill and scale damage, and the tangle-free coating prevents hooks from getting snagged in the netting—both critical for quickly and safely returning fish to the water.

What size fish will this net handle?

The 20x23 hoop with 18" depth is sized for medium-range catches. The flat bottom and even weight distribution support the full body of the fish without rolling, making this a good choice for most freshwater species and light saltwater applications.

How durable is this net?

Very. The MeshGuard™ hoops protect the connection points where mesh meets frame—typically the first place nets wear out. The Pow'R Lok™ yoke keeps the hoop firmly secured, and the overall construction is built to last through repeated seasons of use.

Does the handle adjust?

The 36" slide handle lets you extend and adjust for different water depths and fishing positions while maintaining a secure grip through the premium rubber handle material.
