Manufactured with an aluminium handle and frame, and fitted with a plastic grip, this net is designed to withstand the rigours of saltwater fishing. The net’s mesh is made from a soft plastic material that is kind to fish’s scales if destined for release. It is also nice and deep to prevent your catch from jumping out into the water or, worse still, spiking the netter or the angler. With its wide mouth, the Dragonfly net is suitable for snapper and trout-sized fish.
