Mid Lakes Bait Dealer Net 9" x6" Aluminum 18" Handle

The Mid-Lakes Bait Dealer Net is a compact, purpose-built tool for anglers who need reliable, efficient bait handling at the water's edge. Built with an aluminum frame and 18-inch handle, this net gives you the control and durability to safely land, transfer, and manage live bait without the bulk of a full-sized landing net. Whether you're running a bait station, preparing live shiners for saltwater fishing, or simply need a quick, sturdy way to net and sort live forage, this aluminum net handles the job with minimal fuss.

The 9-by-6-inch mesh opening is sized for dealer-scale bait handling—big enough to scoop a healthy handful of live baits, small enough to manage precision placement and prevent escapees. The aluminum construction resists corrosion and weighs far less than comparable steel nets, making repeated lifts and transfers less tiring over a long day on the water. An 18-inch handle strikes a practical balance between reach and control, letting you work comfortably from the dock, boat gunwale, or shoreline without overextending.

This is the kind of net that finds its way into your routine and stays there—not flashy, not oversized, just honest aluminum and mesh that work. If you spend time with live bait and value a net that doesn't quit, the Mid-Lakes Bait Dealer Net earns its place in your tackle rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size bait can this net handle?

The 9-by-6-inch opening is designed for live bait handling—shiners, mullet, small herring, and similar forage fish. The mesh size is tight enough to contain small baits while allowing water to drain freely.

Is the aluminum frame saltwater-safe?

Aluminum naturally resists corrosion and is commonly used in saltwater fishing gear. Rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater to extend the life of the net.

Can I use this as a regular landing net?

While the net is sturdy, it's optimized for bait handling rather than landing fish. The compact size and shallow depth make it better suited for bait transfer than for netting and lifting larger gamefish.
