Attwood Marine Fold-N-Stow Fishing Net, Knot-Free Netting, Flip-Handle Lock

Overview

The Attwood Marine Fold-N-Stow Fishing Net is a folding landing net for anglers who need practical reach at the rail without giving up storage space in a locker, console, or under-seat compartment. The handle flips open and locks the net into place for use, then collapses with a trigger release so it can be stowed between casts, trips, or seasons.

This range is offered in small, medium, and large configurations, with fully extended sizes ranging from 24 inches long on the small model to 81 inches long on the large model. The netting is knot-free, which helps reduce snagging around hooks and makes the net easier to handle when bringing fish aboard from a cockpit, kayak, jon boat, or fishing deck.

Key features

• Folding handle lets the net pack down for storage in tight boat compartments.
• Flip-handle mechanism opens and locks the net into working position quickly.
• Trigger release collapses the net after use for easier stowing on board.
• Knot-free netting helps reduce hook snags and is easier on fish during landing.
• Three size options cover light trout use, general boat fishing, and larger landing jobs.

Variants

The Fold-N-Stow Fishing Net is available in three configurations that vary by size. Each version keeps the same folding concept, handle lock, trigger collapse, and knot-free netting.

The main difference is reach and net opening size, so the right fit depends on the fish being targeted, the height of the boat’s gunwale, and how much storage space is available on board.

• 12772-2: Small. Fully extended size is 24 inches long, 12.5 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. This compact size suits trout and smaller fish, and it stores easily in kayaks, small skiffs, or limited cockpit storage.
• 12773-2: Medium. Fully extended size is 47 inches long, 16 inches wide, and 16 inches deep. This size gives more reach and net area while still staying manageable for everyday use on small to mid-size boats.
• 12774-2: Large. Fully extended size is 81 inches long, 27 inches wide, and 27 inches deep. This larger version gives extra reach from the deck or gunwale and more net capacity for bigger fish.

Use cases on board

This net is a good match for anglers who want a landing net that can stay on the boat without taking over a rod locker or open deck space. The folding handle is especially useful on smaller boats where loose gear can get in the way while casting, trolling, or moving around the cockpit.

The small version fits light freshwater and inshore work where storage matters most. The medium and large versions make more sense when extra reach is needed from a higher gunwale, a wider cockpit, or a fishing position farther from the waterline.

Storage and handling

After landing a fish, the trigger lets the net collapse back down for storage rather than leaving a full-length handle across the deck. Rinse the net after use, especially after saltwater fishing, and let it dry before storing it in a closed compartment.
