Fly fishing honors tradition — but the tools fly fishers and adventurous anglers carry haven’t always kept pace with the way we fish today. For most of the sport’s history, landing nets were knotted fiber baskets tied to wooden hoops. Later, synthetic mesh and rubber netting improved fish handling, but the design stayed the same: a single‑purpose hoop‑and‑handle.

Meanwhile, fly fishers traditionally navigated rugged terrain with a few primary tools: a rod, a landing net, measuring device and a wading staff. Past attempts to combine tools were heavy, rigid, and far from compact. They didn’t fold. They didn’t collapse. They didn’t pack or travel well.

NETrekk does it all.

A system built for the trail, the shore, the current, the catch, and the release

NETrekk 's design didn’t start with the net — it started with the adventure. The trail. The rocky bank. The current. The reach. The release.

From that perspective, the solution became clear: one tool should support the entire journey.

NETrekk engineered a system that:

Hikes the trail
Traverses steep riverbanks
Reaches over rocky shores
Maintains a third point of contact for stability
Deploys instantly to land fish
Measures the catch
Collapses to its smallest format for packing or belt carry
Travels anywhere without bulk or hassle

This isn’t a net. This isn’t a staff. This isn’t a measuring stick.

It’s a compact, lightweight, folding, telescopic system — built for the way anglers' fish today.

The staff: stability, reach, and confidence in motion

The telescopic wading staff is engineered for real terrain:

Lightweight aircraft‑grade aluminum
Solid aluminum cam locks
Rubber tips for quiet footing
Tungsten carbide tip with replaceable rubber feet
Mud skirt for soft riverbeds
Multiple attachment points for secure carry

It’s a true third point of contact — the foundation of safe, confident movement.

And when it’s time to land a fish? It transforms.

The net: compact, folding, rubber, and ready for any angler

NETrekk’s folding rubber nets are built for versatility:

Four net depths for every species and style
Collapsing handles for packability
Folding frames for easy carry
Soft rubber netting for safe releases
Integrated measurement scales
Name‑tag ID decals
Compact formats for travel, backpacks, or belt carry

Backpackers, hikers, waders, floaters, and boaters all find their perfect fit — and if they’re unsure, the NETrekk Net Selector Wizard guides them to their perfect net in seconds.

The breakthrough: one system that does it all

This is the moment anglers feel the WOW factor.

Once they get NETrekk in their hands, they realize:

It's a wading staff
It's a landing net
It's a measuring stick
its solid & secure
It reduces the bulk, the juggling, the hassle

It’s the first compact, folding, lightweight system that truly works for the entire adventure — not just the final photo.

That’s why fly fishers and anglers of all styles coast to coast say… WOW.

Goat Grip Accessory: ergonomic reach, quiet footing, and confidence in motion

The NETrekk system becomes even more capable with the Goat Grip accessory — a purpose‑built ergonomic hand grip and hoof‑style wading tip designed to enhance both reach and stability.

As an ergonomic hand grip, Goat Grip gives anglers a natural, secure hold when extending the staff to land a fish. The contoured shape aligns the wrist and fingers for comfortable, controlled reach — especially when leaning over current, boulders, or brush.

As a wading and hiking tip, the urethane hoof profile provides quiet, confident contact on rocky bottoms and uneven terrain. It reduces the sharp clatter of metal tips and grips naturally, helping anglers move with more intention and stability.

And because the hoof profile mirrors a natural footprint, it becomes a practical hook‑retrieval tool. With the staff fully extended to 60 inches, anglers can reach a snagged fly or lure above or below without climbing or risking an off balance retrieval.

Goat Grip is an optional accessory. — a thoughtful upgrade for fly fishers and adventurous anglers who want even more capability from their NETrekk system.
