Fox Rage Street Fighter 5.5m Carbon Net

Fox Rage Street Fighter 5.5m Carbon Net – The Ultimate Long-Reach Predator Net

When you’re fishing high canal walls, steep river banks, or urban “canyons,” standard nets simply won’t reach. Enter the Fox Rage Street Fighter 5.5m Carbon Net. This is the longest model in the upgraded Street Fighter range, specifically engineered for the mobile predator angler who refuses to let a high vantage point stand between them and a trophy fish.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we’ve seen plenty of “long” nets, but few manage to balance this much reach with such a lightweight, manageable feel. The carbon construction ensures that even at full extension, you have the control needed to glide the mesh under a lungeing pike or zander. With its “lightning-fast” deployment, it’s a game-changer for solo anglers fishing in challenging environments.

Key Features & Performance

• Unrivalled Reach: The 5.5m telescopic handle allows you to land fish from heights that were previously impossible, making it the king of urban street fishing gear.

• One-Handed Operation: Features a fast-flip extension and an upgraded quick-release spreader block. When you’ve got a rod in one hand, this net can be deployed and locked in seconds with the other.

• Carbon Strength: The high-modulus carbon handle is incredibly stiff and strong, yet light enough to carry all day without fatigue.

• Fish-Friendly Mesh: The black and grey rubberised mesh is designed to protect the fish’s slime layer and prevent lure hooks from getting snagged—a must for catch-and-release angling.

• Smart Portability: The handle folds over the frame to reduce its transport size, while the built-in belt clip and D-ring make it easy to carry on your back or hip.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use This Net

• Urban Canals & Docklands: Perfect for “street fishing” where you are often several metres above the water level on concrete walls or piers.

• Steep River Banks: Ideal for flooded rivers or high-banked areas where getting down to the water’s edge is dangerous or impossible.

• Piers & Jetties: The 5.5m reach makes this a fantastic crossover net for light saltwater lure work from high structures.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

To get the most out of a 5.5m net, we highly recommend pairing it with the Fox Rage 5kg Net Magnet. Attach the magnet to the D-ring and your bag; it keeps the net out of the way while you’re walking but allows for a “rip-and-go” deployment the second you hook into a fish. Also, always extend the handle vertically if possible to reduce leverage stress when lifting a heavy fish!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 5.5m net heavy to carry while walking?

Surprisingly, no. Because the handle is made of carbon rather than heavy fibreglass, it remains very portable. The belt clip helps distribute the weight effectively on your hip.

Can I use this for big Pike?

The 50cm x 60cm head is perfect for large Perch, Zander, and average-sized Pike. If you are specifically targeting “crocodiles” over 20lb, you may find the frame size a bit tight, but for general predator roving, it’s the ideal size.

Does the mesh dry quickly?

Yes. The rubberised coating doesn’t absorb water or fish odours like traditional nylon nets. A quick shake and it’s mostly dry, which is a massive plus for your car boot on the way home!
