The present disclosure generally relates to a folding landing net that can be folded into a stow position for compact storage. In general, the net comprises a handle, a slide lock, and hoop. The slide lock can be slid on the handle in order to rotate the hoop arms, thereby rotating the hoops, either upward into a stow position or outward into an open position.

A folding dip net fixed with two fulcrums comprises a net rod and a net rack. A connecting part and a lock catch are disposed at a front end of the net rod. A tail end of the net rack is mounted on two sides of the connecting part through rotating shafts. The lock catch is slidably connected to the net rod and locks the tail end of the net rack when the net rack is unfolded. Clamping grooves are formed in the two sides of the connecting part and are communicated with a bottom surface of the connecting part. The clamping grooves are of an arc structure and become narrower gradually from bottom to top. Support parts are disposed on the two sides of the connecting part and are located above the clamping grooves. Protrusions are disposed on the net rack and are located on the two sides of the connecting part. When the net rack is unfolded, the protrusions are located in the clamping grooves in the corresponding sides, and tops of the protrusions contact bottoms of the support parts on the corresponding sides, so that two fulcrums are formed at the tail end of the net rack. This structure can prevent the net rack from inclining, so the net rack is more stable in the fish scooping process, and the tail end of the net rack will not get rid of the restriction of the lock catch, which may otherwise lead to an escape of fishes in a string bag.

A collapsible fishing net apparatus includes a handle including a grip portion, and a rim piece that is configured to couple and decouple from the handle. When the rim piece is coupled to the handle, the rim piece and handle together form a continuous loop. The apparatus further includes a net that is configured to couple to both the handle and the rim piece and enclose the continuous loop.

A dip net, which has a net assembly, a handle assembly connected to the net assembly, and a retaining frame securing the net assembly to the handle assembly. The net assembly has a net frame with respective distal ends and a net. The handle assembly has a handle having first and second ends, a neck, and first and second flat sides. The retaining frame has first and second walls connected by a bend. The retaining frame is U-shaped. The retaining frame is removably connected to the handle assembly. The first wall is attached to the first flat side and the second wall is attached to the second flat side. The net frame and the handle are secured by the retaining frame defining a predetermined angle. The predetermined angle is adjustable.

An ice fishing net apparatus that may be utilized to lift fish out of an ice fishing hole. The ice fishing net of the invention includes a hoop and net that is actuatable between a landing position and a netting position. The hoop has a round shape when viewed from the xy plane of an xyz coordinate system and further includes additional bends as viewed from the xz and yz planes such that the hoop conforms to a cylindrical sidewall of an ice fishing hole when oriented in either a landing or netting position. The ice fishing apparatus is particularly useful for netting fish from an ice hole while the user remains in an upright, standing position.

A fishing assembly includes a fishing pole and a housing coupled to the fishing pole. The housing defines a cavity sized to receive a collapsible net assembly therein. The fishing assembly further includes a net release mechanism for releasing the net assembly from the cavity. The net release mechanism is configured to engage the housing and is selectively releasable to disengage with the housing to allow the net assembly to be removed from the housing.

An angler landing net is disclosed comprising a handle and a two-part net support, the two parts pivotally connected about two pivot points to allow opening and closing of the net. The pivot point near the handle has a locking mechanism with an elongate locking pin movable from a housing in the handle to pass through aligned apertures in the ends of the net support parts to lock them in the open position, and movable back into the handle to fold the net. After opening the net, the user rotates a protrusion on the elongate locking pin to lock it into a channel

A line guided fish landing net apparatus is affixed to a fishing line upon hooking a fish and placed in the water wherein nets are automatically deployed as the apparatus travels down the line. Once the net apparatus reaches the fish it wraps and entangles it thereby significantly diminishing its ability to thrash about making it much easier to land a large fish on a sport fishing vessel. An upper net section has a top peripheral edge thereof configured to be positively buoyant to spread to a deployed position, and a lower net section has a bottom peripheral edge configured to be negatively buoyant to spread to a deployed position.
