Fox Rage Street Fighter 3.7m Carbon Net

Fox Rage Street Fighter 3.7m Carbon Net – The Versatile Reach Predator Net

The Fox Rage Street Fighter 3.7m Carbon Net is widely considered the “sweet spot” of the Street Fighter range. Offering a significant reach advantage over standard nets without the extreme length of the 5.5m version, this net is a essential tool for the mobile lure angler who encounters varying bank heights.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend the 3.7m model for anglers who need that extra security when fishing from elevated towpaths or steeper river banks. It combines the extreme lightness of a high-modulus carbon handle with a lightning-fast deployment system, ensuring that when that specimen perch or zander hits the surface, your net is ready before they have a chance to dive.

Key Features & Performance

• Optimal Reach: At 3.7 metres, this net bridges the gap between standard roving nets and specialized high-wall gear, giving you confidence on almost any bankside.

• Fast-Flip Extension: Designed for high-pressure moments, the handle features a rapid extension mechanism and an upgraded quick-release spreader block for seamless, one-handed operation.

• Carbon Strength & Weight: The handle is crafted from high-grade carbon, providing the rigidity needed to net fish at distance while remaining light enough to carry on your belt all day.

• Premium Fish Care: The 50cm x 60cm head features a black and grey rubberised mesh. This not only protects the fish’s scales but also prevents treble hooks from tangling, allowing for a faster release.

• Floating Mesh Design: The net head is designed to float, a massive advantage if you accidentally drop it while navigating tricky terrain.

Where to Use This Net

• Canal Towpaths: Ideal for canals where you may be fishing from a path slightly above the water level, especially near locks or bridges.

• Steep Natural Banks: Perfect for rivers where the water’s edge is obscured by reeds or where the bank has eroded, creating a drop.

• Small Piers & Jetties: Provides more than enough reach for most wooden jetties or small stone piers found in urban docklands.

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

To ensure the longevity of your carbon handle, never “crane” a heavy fish out of the water horizontally at full extension. Once the fish is in the mesh, retract the telescopic sections vertically. This puts the weight onto the strongest part of the carbon and prevents unnecessary leverage stress on the joints!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the handle stiff enough at full extension?

Yes. Because it is made from carbon rather than composite or fibreglass, the 3.7m Street Fighter handle remains remarkably stiff, giving you better “point-and-aim” accuracy when netting a moving fish.

Does it come with a shoulder strap?

It doesn’t include a strap, but it features a very sturdy built-in belt clip. It also has a D-ring specifically designed to be used with a net magnet for “on-the-back” carrying.

Will lure hooks get stuck in this mesh?

The rubberised coating is specifically designed to be “hook-resistant.” Unlike traditional hex-mesh, trebles usually slide right out, saving you time and frustration during a busy session
