Fox Rage Street Fighter 2.4m Carbon Net

Fox Rage Street Fighter 2.4m Carbon Net – The All-Rounder for Mobile Predator Anglers

The Fox Rage Street Fighter 2.4m Carbon Net is the “Goldilocks” of the range—offering the perfect balance of reach and portability. While its bigger brothers are built for extreme heights, the 2.4m model is designed for the roving angler who needs a reliable, fast-deploying net for standard canal banks, low towpaths, and river roving.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we find this to be the most popular choice for the everyday street fisher. It’s short enough to be completely unobtrusive on your belt or back, but has just enough “reach” to ensure you aren’t over-stretching when that specimen perch or zander is ready to be landed. With its lightning-fast extension and super-light carbon handle, it’s built for the high-intensity world of modern lure fishing.

Key Features & Performance

• The Perfect All-Rounder: A 2.4m reach that handles 90% of bankside situations with ease.

• Lightning-Fast Deployment: Features the fast-flip extension handle and upgraded quick-release spreader block. When you’re solo and a fish is thrashing, you can deploy this net with one hand in a heartbeat.

• Featherweight Carbon Strength: The high-grade carbon handle is exceptionally stiff and light, meaning no “sag” when you’re trying to net a moving fish at full extension.

• Premium Mesh Care: The 50cm x 60cm head uses a black and grey rubberised, fish-friendly mesh. It’s gentle on the fish’s scales and—crucially—doesn’t let lure trebles get hopelessly tangled.

• Floating Security: The net head is designed to float, so if you’re navigating a tricky bank and it slips from your hand, it won’t be lost to the depths.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use This Net

• Canal Roving: Perfect for standard towpaths and low canal walls where a 3m+ net would be overkill but a short net is too risky.

• River Banks: The ideal length for navigating through reeds or landing fish from slightly elevated grass banks.

• Small Commercials: If you’re lure fishing for perch or small pike on commercial waters, this net provides professional-level fish care in a compact package.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

Even though this is the shorter telescopic model, the golden rule of carbon handles still applies: once the fish is safely in the mesh, retract the handle vertically rather than lifting it like a lever. This keeps the pressure on the strongest part of the carbon joints and ensures your net lasts for years of hard use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How compact is it when folded?

The handle folds neatly over the 50cm x 60cm net head, making it incredibly flat. It sits flush against your back or hip, meaning it won’t snag on branches while you’re trekking to your next spot.

Does the rubber mesh smell?

That’s the beauty of rubberised mesh—it doesn’t absorb the fish’s slime or water. Give it a quick “swish” in the water and a shake, and it’ll be dry and odour-free by the time you get back to the car.

Can I use a magnet with this model?

Absolutely. It features a built-in D-ring on the handle specifically designed to pair with the Fox Rage 5kg Net Magnet. It’s the best way to carry this net for a “rip-and-land” workflow.
