## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is diameter of  holes in net**
A: They are small like the same as any other net you would use to net large fish. It won’t work for netting minnows. I would say 1 inch by 1 inch

**Q: Is this good for catching frogs, bull frogs in particular? Thanks**
A: it is a very deep fishing net, yet I think it would be good for catching frogs

**Q: Does this net move through water fast? I am trying to net some of my pond fish out, most nets drag too slow.**
A: Hi. This is a good net it can be dragged easily in ponds.

**Q: Would the classic net work for catching blue crab? Is the rubber netting strong enough to prevent the crabs from just snapping it with their claws?**
A: Funny you should ask! Last weekend my husband use it for just that. He was chicken neck crabbing and I didn't see anything wrong with the net... And believe if there was he would have said so.

    Works Well in my Koi Pond
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020*

Occasionally one of the Koi fish succumbs to a problem.  In the past I have used to use two smaller nylon nets to help remove a fish that died. But both were needed due to the size and weight of the fish.  Recently one of my old nets  broke due to the age of the netting.  These Koi are well over 22 inches long, and are heavy.  One of the 15 year old fish recently developed a problem and I was treating the water to help it survive.  But I knew I would need a new net to help reach the bottom of the pond if the fish died.  No sooner than this Wakeman Fishing Retractor landing net arrived, the fish in trouble was motionless at the bottom of the pond. Fearing it had parasites, I used the remaining old net to maneuver the non-moving fish through some rocks, and into the large opening of the Wakeman rubber net.  Much easier than trying to use two smaller nets to do the extraction. The new net is sturdy and I was easily able to remove the fish.

    Caught a cat perfectly
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023*

I bought this to catch a feral cat who would let me feed him but not get close enough to touch him.  He took up residence under a shipping container. Trapping him wasn't an option since I have five other cats who would interfere. He stayed thin after many weeks so I needed to apply a topical flea/tick/worm killer on him.  When he was within six feet or so, I put the net over him. He jumped around but the rubber net was strong as I held the pole to the ground.  I was then able to clamp down on his neck without fear because the net is quite thick. The net has holes large enough for me to expose the back of his neck where I applied the topical.  That was two weeks ago.  He seems less afraid of me now since I caught him and let him go. I can almost boop/touch his nose as he looks out from under the container.

    Nice net, cheap price.
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018*

Really nice net especially for the price. The only thing I didnt like was when i got mine, the rubber net was pinched between the aluminum where the handle hooks up and had caused that strand to break. Not a huge deal, just a bit of a nuisance. Still holds fish!
