Mid Lakes Retractable Landing Net 22x27

The Mid Lakes Retractable Landing Net 22x27 is a compact, space-saving net designed for anglers who need reliable fish handling without the bulk. Whether you're wade fishing small streams, working from a kayak, or storing gear in a tight boat locker, a retractable landing net keeps your hands free and your catch secure—and this Mid-Lakes option collapses down for easy transport and storage.

A 22x27 net opening gives you room to land panfish, trout, smallmouth, and light saltwater species without oversizing your kit. Retractable nets are built around the idea that you only deploy what you need: extend when you're ready to net, collapse when you're on the move or stowing gear. It's the practical choice for anglers who value efficiency and don't want a full-sized net taking up precious space.

Mid-Lakes Nets has been making landing nets for working anglers for decades. Their reputation rests on straightforward, durable construction—no flashy marketing, just nets that perform. This retractable model fits that tradition: engineered for function, built to handle repeated use, and designed to get out of your way when you're hiking to the next pool or organizing your deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fish can I land with a 22x27 net?

The 22x27 opening is well-suited for panfish, trout, smallmouth bass, and similar species. It's also practical for light saltwater applications. For larger catfish, pike, or musky, you'd want to step up to a bigger net—but for general freshwater fishing and wade situations, this size handles the job.

How does a retractable net help when I'm hiking to a fishing spot?

Retractable nets collapse down to a fraction of their extended size, so you can pack it compactly in your bag or clip it to your gear without it catching on brush or taking up space. When you're ready to fish, you simply extend it and you're ready to net.

Is this net made for saltwater or freshwater?

The 22x27 Mid Lakes net is primarily engineered for freshwater fishing and light saltwater use. For heavy saltwater applications or large species, check with our team for a net better suited to that environment.
