Pier Fishing Landing Net with 31.5 in Carbon Steel Double Rings for Structural Strength

The upper and lower rings of the VEVOR pier fishing landing net are made of carbon steel and measure 31.5 in (800 mm) in diameter. This design maintains the net’s round shape as it is raised vertically from the pier through the water. As the net is pulled up against the weight of the catch and the water’s resistance, the carbon steel construction gives the ring the rigidity it needs to avoid deforming.

The two-ring design is better than single-ring nets because the upper and lower hoops work together to maintain the net’s opening shape in the water and during retrieval, even when it is full of fish. This creates a stable net opening throughout retrieval.

PVC-Coated Black Nylon Netting with 0.25 in Mesh for Multi-Species Capture

With a PVC covering on the nylon mesh that makes up the net body, it offers three benefits at once for better pier fishing. By giving each mesh strand greater structural rigidity, the PVC coating keeps the net from collapsing in on itself as it falls into the water and while it is resting on the bottom, waiting for a catch to come in. Because of this, the net remains fully open even with only a small current, helping it maintain its shape without additional weighting in many fishing conditions.

Target species approaching the bait will not be able to see the net as well, because the black netting blends more naturally into the water. This is an important factor in catching animals, especially shy ones like blue crabs and shrimp that might avoid netting that stands out. The 0.25-inch (6.4-mm) mesh size keeps small fish like minnows, crawfish, and young shrimp inside while letting water flow easily through it during quick retrieval.

18 in Net Depth for Full Containment During Vertical Retrieval from Pier Height

The net is 18 inches (460 mm) deep from the top hoop to the bottom of the capture area. This is deep enough to keep the catch from jumping over the edge during the upward retrieval phase. When pulling a drop net quickly up from under a pier, the catch settles toward the bottom of the net due to inertia. But as the net slows down as it nears the pier rail, the catch can shift toward the opening.

The 18-inch depth ensures the net maintains sufficient capture volume even when it is full of crabs or shrimp. This keeps the base from getting too crowded, which would push some of the catch up toward the edge during a multi-species haul and make containment during the pull more difficult.

Complete Accessory Kit — Bait Bag, Float, Rope, and Storage Bag Included

The pier fishing landing net comes as a complete, ready-to-use set that includes a retrieval rope for lifting and lowering the net, a bait bag for keeping bait inside the net, and a storage bag for easy transport between fishing sessions. With this all-in-one kit, the angler does not need to buy any extra parts before first use, so they can set up the net as soon as they arrive at the fishing spot.

The bait bag places the attractant in the middle of the net floor, bringing target species into the capture zone before the retrieval pull begins. The float provides a visual marker of the net’s position when multiple nets are deployed simultaneously along a pier rail, and the retrieval rope is pre-attached to the upper ring at the correct connection point to ensure a balanced vertical lift that keeps the hoop level during the pull.

Pier Fishing Landing Net with Foldable Design for Compact Transport and Storage

It is easy to fold the VEVOR pier fishing landing net in half by folding the double-ring frame into a small disc. When folded up, the net fits into the storage bag that comes with it. This means you can carry the net in your fishing bag, backpack, or tackle box with your other gear, so the sturdy hoop doesn’t take up too much room on the way to the fishing spot.

At 4.41 lbs (2 kg) total weight and 2.31 lbs (1.05 kg) per single net unit, the assembled weight is light enough for a single angler to carry multiple units to the pier without physical difficulty. This is an important thing to keep in mind when putting up multiple nets along a dock or pier rail at the same time to catch more fish in more places during the same fishing session.

Suitable for Crabs, Shrimp, Crawfish, Minnows, and General Bait Fish Capture

With a 31.5-inch hoop diameter, a 0.25-inch mesh, and an 18-inch depth, this drop net is well-suited for catching a wide range of species typically caught from piers, docks, and other structures along the water. The 31.5-inch capture zone is large enough for blue crabs, Dungeness crabs, snow crabs, and rock crabs, providing ample capture space for larger crab species during retrieval. The 0.25-inch mesh helps retain shrimp, crawfish, minnows, and similar-sized species during retrieval.

You can also use the net to collect live bait by lowering it into areas where minnows or other small baitfish are gathering and quickly pulling it back up to catch them in the hoop before they can swim away. This dual function as both a targeted species trap and a general bait-collection net extends the net’s practical value beyond a single-species application for anglers who prefer to source live bait on-site rather than purchasing it before the fishing session.
