NETrekk Flex System of Build‑Your‑Own Nets Debuts at Fly Fest 2026 — The Future of Modular Landing Tools Has Arrived

NETrekk is proud to introduce the Flex System of Build‑Your‑Own Nets, the world’s first interchangeable telescopic wading staff, handle, and folding rubber net platform. This patent‑pending innovation delivers unmatched safety, flexibility, and fish‑friendly performance for fly fishers and adventurous anglers who demand gear that adapts instantly to their environment.

The Flex System isn’t just a new product line—it’s a fully modular ecosystem that lets anglers build the exact landing tool they need for any species, any water, any style.

A Platform Built for Every Adventure

The Flex Series allows anglers to convert their folding rubber FlexNet for hiking, wading, tube floating, canoeing, drift floating, backpacking, boating, kayaking, and even minimalist Tenkara fishing. With four folding rubber net depths and three Flex Series handles, anglers can configure the perfect landing system for any mission. Each net folds compactly and includes a shoulder bag for easy stowage in luggage, watercraft compartments, or backpacking kits.

FlexStaff — Telescopic Strength, Safety & 75”+ Landing Reach

The FlexStaff is the flagship of the Flex System: a rugged telescopic wading staff built from aircraft‑grade aluminum for stability in fast water, steep terrain, and unpredictable river conditions. Collapsed: 32 inches. Extended: 60 inches. With a flip of the wrist, the FlexStaff opens the folding rubber net and delivers 75”+ of extended landing reach—giving anglers unmatched control when wading deep or landing fish at distance. No other system integrates this level of safety, stability, and functional reach.

FlexReach — The Watercraft Advantage

For kayakers, float tubers, canoe anglers, and boaters, the FlexReach telescopic handle delivers compact portability with extended reach. Folded net + compressed handle: 24 inches. Extended handle + net: 48 inches. A flip of the wrist transforms this compact tool into a long‑reach landing system—ideal for low‑seat watercraft where stability and center‑of‑gravity matter.

Build Your Own Flex System

The Flex System follows a simple, intuitive three‑step process:

1. Select a handle — Fixed, telescopic, or wading staff

2. Choose your net depth — Small, Medium, Large, or XL folding rubber net depths

3. Accessorize — Shoulder bags, ID tags, Goat Grip, mag releases, carabiners, hemostats, and more

This modularity gives anglers a conservation‑forward, fish‑friendly landing solution for trout, warmwater species, alpine lakes, backcountry creeks, multi‑species adventures, and the minimalist precision of Tenkara fishing.
