One of the best features of a Rising Fishing net is the interchangeable handle system. Whether you are hiking into a small mountain stream, fishing from a drift boat, or wading a larger river, you can change your handle length to match the day without buying a whole new net. The precision-machined threaded connection lets you remove one handle and install another in seconds while keeping the strength and durability you expect from a Rising net.
Why Change Handles on a Fishing Net?
Different fishing situations call for different tools. The handle that works great on a small creek is rarely the one you want when you are reaching over the side of a drift boat. With a Rising net you match the handle to the water instead of compromising, and you carry one net system instead of several.
Choosing the Right Handle Length
Short handles are lightweight and compact. They are ideal for backpacking, small streams, and any angler who wants a net that stays out of the way.
Medium handles offer a balance of reach and portability, which makes them a strong all-around choice for most fishing days.
Long handles give you extra reach from drift boats, rafts, pontoons, and float tubes, and they help when you are landing larger fish in deeper water.
How to Swap the Handle Step by Step
- Hold the net head steady with one hand and grip the base of the current handle with the other.
- Unscrew the handle by turning it counterclockwise until the threaded connection releases.
- Line up the replacement handle with the threaded insert on the net head.
- Turn the new handle clockwise until it is snug and hand tight. Do not overtighten it.
- Give the handle a gentle wiggle to confirm the connection is secure before you head to the water.

One Net, Every Situation
The interchangeable handle system is what makes a Rising net so versatile. Instead of owning several nets, you keep one net head and a few handles, then swap them to fit the water in front of you. It takes only a few seconds and gives you the right reach every time you fish.
