Sert Rubnet LR2 Foldable Landing Net – 50x45cm

Sert Rubnet LR2 Foldable Landing Net – 50x45cm

Land your catches safely and confidently with the Sert Rubnet LR2 Foldable Landing Net. Meticulously engineered for the mobile predator, roving river, and light-sea angler, this premium 50x45cm landing net strikes the ultimate balance between compact portability and fish-friendly performance. Whether you are walking miles of canal towpath searching for specimen perch, wading a rapid river for wild trout, or drop-netting a quality bass off a low rock ledge, the Rubnet LR2 is built to make the critical final moments of the fight entirely stress-free.

The absolute standout feature of this net is its advanced, rubber-coated mesh. Unlike traditional nylon nets that strip away a fish’s protective slime and snag hooks instantly, the smooth rubber coating glides over the fish safely, drastically minimizing scale damage and recovery times. Additionally, the folding frame mechanism allows you to collapse the net head down into a streamlined, ultra-portable profile with a single click, making it the perfect companion for the angler who likes to stay on the move.

Where to Use This Product

• Lure Fishing & Canal Towpaths: The compact folding design allows you to clip the net comfortably to your luggage or a belt loop while walking miles stalking urban perch and zander.

• River Roving & Wading: Perfect for roving river anglers targeting wild trout, grayling, or chub. The rubber mesh won’t absorb water or hold a heavy current, keeping the net light when scooping fish out of fast flows.

• Saltwater Rock & Pier Marks: Excellent for light-sea spinning applications. The telescopic handle gives you the crucial extra reach required to scoop up a hard-fighting bass or pollack over steep rock edges or off low pier steps.

• Weedy Commercial Margins: The rigid aluminum frame provides the structural strength needed to push through thick bankside reeds or surface weed to cleanly net a fish.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: “For any lure angler, a rubber-coated net like the Sert Rubnet LR2 is worth its weight in gold—and not just for fish welfare. Traditional nylon nets are an absolute nightmare for catching treble hooks; one head-shake from a fish and your lures are tangled into a bird’s nest that takes 10 minutes to cut free. Trebles slide right out of this rubber mesh in seconds, getting you back in the water instantly. To make it the ultimate roving setup, pair it with a magnetic net release clipped to the back of your fishing vest. One quick tug and you’re ready to net a specimen.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the rubber mesh smell after a session?

No, that is one of the greatest hidden benefits of rubberized netting. Traditional nylon fibers absorb fish slime, water, and river debris, which creates a terrible smell when left in the car boot or garage. The non-porous rubber coating on the LR2 repels water and slime completely—give it a quick shake on the bank, and it dries almost instantly and remains entirely odour-free.

How far does the telescopic handle extend?

The handle features a smooth telescopic locking system that adds crucial reach when you are faced with high canal banks, steep concrete walls, or deep river margins. It collapses down neatly into the frame profile to ensure it doesn’t get caught in low briars and bushes while you are walking.

Is this net large enough for big pike?

The 50x45cm frame is the ultimate versatile size for standard UK predators like perch, zander, trout, and bass. It will comfortably accommodate jack pike up to around 8–10lbs. However, if you are explicitly targeting specimen double-figure pike or large river barbel, we would recommend looking at a larger, dedicated specimen landing net.
