FAQs
What type of fish is this net best suited for?
The Agitator Folding Predator Net is specifically designed for aggressive freshwater predatory fish such as pike, zander, and perch.
How do I clean the rubberised mesh?
Rinse the mesh thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What are the dimensions of the net heads?
This specific model has a net head measuring 51 x 45cm. A larger model, Q8529, is available with a 71 x 58cm net head.
Is the handle length adjustable?
Yes, the net features a two-piece adjustable telescopic handle with a secure twist-lock adjustment for customizable length.
Can this net be used in saltwater?
While the aluminium frame is corrosion-resistant, the net is engineered and primarily recommended for freshwater predatory fish. Extended or heavy use in saltwater may affect longevity.
How easy is it to transport?
The net features an easy-fold mechanism, allowing it to be folded compactly for convenient transport and storage, making it ideal for roving anglers.
What material is the frame made from?
The frame is manufactured from high-grade 6061T6 aluminium, ensuring it is both lightweight and robust.
Troubleshooting
Net handle won't extend or lock
Ensure the twist-lock mechanism is fully loosened by turning it counter-clockwise. Clean any debris from the telescoping sections and re-test. If the issue persists, check for damage to the lock.
Folding mechanism is stiff
Gently clean the folding joints with fresh water and a soft brush. Ensure no debris is trapped in the mechanism. Allow to dry thoroughly before attempting to fold or unfold.
Mesh is snagged or torn
Carefully attempt to free any snags. For minor tears, specialized mesh repair kits may be used. Significant tears may require replacement of the mesh section if possible, or replacement of the entire net.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the net frame until it locks into place. Extend the telescopic handle by twisting the lock counter-clockwise, pulling the handle to the desired length, and twisting the lock clockwise to secure it. The net is now ready for use.
Compatibility: This net is designed for freshwater predatory fish. While the mesh is robust, it is not intended for abrasive saltwater environments or very large, deep-bodied saltwater species.
Care: After each use, rinse the mesh and frame with fresh water to remove any dirt, debris, or salt residue. Allow the net to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before folding and storing to prevent mildew and prolong the life of the mesh and handle.
- Periodically check the twist-lock mechanism on the handle for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, clean it with fresh water and allow it to dry.
