Frabill Net Bait Dealer 12"x10" D Hoop 26" Alum Handle
The Frabill Net Bait Dealer is a 12"x10" D-shaped hoop net built for anglers who need quick, reliable access to live bait during a day on the water. With a 26-inch aluminum handle, this bait net strikes the right balance between reach and maneuverability—long enough to dip into livewells or keep tanks without overextending, compact enough to stow easily in a boat or tackle bag. Whether you're running shiners, shad, or other live offerings, a dedicated bait net keeps your hands out of the water and your bait in good condition.
The D-shaped hoop is a proven design for scooping and controlling live bait in confined spaces. The aluminum handle won't corrode or add unnecessary weight, and the 26-inch length gives you working room without making the net unwieldy. This is the kind of straightforward tool that serious live-bait anglers reach for because it works, not because it's trendy.
Frabill has been making fishing nets for generations, and this bait net reflects that heritage: honest construction focused on doing one job well. If you run live bait regularly—whether for catfish, pike, musky, or saltwater species—having a dedicated bait net beats fumbling with a multipurpose landing net and risks to your bait's condition.

What is this net designed for?
The Frabill Net Bait Dealer is purpose-built for scooping and transferring live bait. The D-shaped hoop works well in livewells, bait tanks, and confined spaces where a traditional round net might be awkward.

No. The 26-inch aluminum handle is corrosion-resistant and won't degrade from freshwater, saltwater, or regular use. It's a durable, low-maintenance choice for boat and shore fishing.
