Fox Rage Street Fighter 2-Piece Carbon Net 1.8m

Fox Rage Street Fighter 1.8m 2-Piece Carbon Net – The Specialist’s Choice for Short-Range Control

The Fox Rage Street Fighter 1.8m 2-Piece Carbon Net is the precision tool of the Street Fighter family. While the longer models focus on extreme height, this 1.8m version is all about speed, strength, and ultimate control at close quarters. Whether you’re fishing from a boat, a low-profile bank, or a kayak, this net offers the perfect balance of reach and manoeuvrability.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we love the two-piece handle design on this model. It provides a level of rigidity that telescopic handles can’t always match, making it a favourite for anglers who frequently target larger predators like pike and zander where a “stiff” net handle is vital for a clean landing.

Key Features & Performance

• Rigid 2-Piece Construction: Unlike telescopic models, the two-piece carbon handle offers maximum stiffness, providing total confidence when guiding a heavy fish into the mesh.

• Compact & Mobile: Despite its 1.8m reach, the handle folds over the frame, making it incredibly easy to clip to your belt or bag while you’re roving between spots.

• Carbon Strength: Built from high-grade carbon, this handle is feather-light for all-day carrying but possesses the backbone to handle the lunge of a double-figure predator.

• Fish-Friendly Rubberised Mesh: The black and grey mesh is designed with a fish-first approach. The rubber coating protects the fish’s scales and ensures your lure’s trebles don’t become a tangled nightmare.

• Floating Framework: The net head is designed to float, ensuring that if you drop it while unhooking a fish in the margins, it stays on the surface for easy retrieval.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use This Net

• Boat & Kayak Fishing: The 1.8m length is the industry standard for boat work—long enough to reach over the gunwales but short enough to handle easily in a cramped deck space.

• Low-Level Canal Banks: Ideal for towpaths where the water is almost level with your feet and you want a net that is lightning-fast to deploy.

• Small Streams & Rivers: Perfect for roving through dense undergrowth where a longer, bulkier net would get snagged on every branch.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

Because this is a 2-piece handle, you can actually use it as a “short” net by just using one section if you’re in an extremely tight spot or on a low boat. To make this the ultimate roving setup, pair it with the Fox Rage 5kg Net Magnet. It allows the net to hang vertically on your back, completely out of the way until the moment you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2-piece handle stronger than the telescopic ones?

Generally, yes. By having fewer joints and a simpler “put-together” or folding design, the 2-piece carbon handle offers a higher degree of rigidity, which many of our regular pike anglers prefer for lifting larger fish.

Does this net fold down small enough for a rucksack?

While it’s designed to be worn on a belt or back using the clip/magnet, the handle folds over the 50cm x 60cm head, making it flat enough to fit into most large carryalls or to be strapped to the outside of a lure bag.

Is the rubber mesh easy to clean?

Absolutely. The rubberised coating doesn’t absorb water or slime. A quick rinse in the canal and a flick of the wrist is usually enough to get it “boot-ready” for the drive home without the dreaded “fishy” smell in the car.
