The Rising Fishing Travel Net is built for anglers who need maximum portability without giving up the performance and durability of a full-size landing net. Its two-piece hoop design lets the net pack down small for travel, then assemble quickly and securely when you are ready to fish. Whether you are hiking into the backcountry, flying to a destination, or simply packing light, putting your Travel Net together takes only a few minutes.

Why Choose a Travel Net?

A travel net solves the biggest problem with carrying a landing net on the go, which is size. The two-piece hoop breaks down so the net fits in a pack, a duffel, or a carry-on, then comes back together into a full-size net at the water. You get real landing performance without a bulky hoop strapped to the outside of your bag.

What You Need Before You Start

Lay out the two hoop sections, the net handle or yoke, and the mesh bag on a clean flat surface. Having everything in front of you makes assembly faster and helps you keep the mesh untwisted as you work.

How to Assemble Your Travel Net Step by Step

  1. Join the two hoop sections together at the connection point until they seat fully and lock into place.
  2. Attach the assembled hoop to the handle or yoke so the frame is solid and does not flex at the joint.
  3. Work the mesh bag onto the hoop, starting at one point and moving evenly around the frame.
  4. Seat the bag all the way around so it is held securely and hangs straight without any twists.
  5. Give the whole net a firm check to confirm the hoop, handle, and bag are locked in before you fish.

Ready Wherever You Fish

The Travel Net gives you a packable landing net that is ready in minutes, so you never have to leave your net behind on a trip. Assemble it once and the process becomes second nature. When your day is done, it breaks back down just as quickly for the trip home.
