NETrekk is an outdoor‑gear company focused exclusively on fishing equipment and landing‑net innovation. We design compact, lightweight, durable, and eco‑conscious landing nets for anglers of every style — fly fishers, hike & wade anglers, kayak anglers, float‑tubers, guides, outfitters, and anyone who values safe wading and safe catch‑and‑release.
NETrekk features a patent‑pending design built for real water, real fish, and real anglers.
As an industry partner of Fly Fishers International (FFI), NETrekk proudly supports the global community of anglers who value conservation, education, and responsible fishing practices.
A Folding Landing‑Net System Designed for the Way Anglers Actually Fish
Traditional nets are bulky, awkward, and often made from materials that don’t align with modern sustainability values. NETrekk takes a different approach — one rooted in packability, safety, and responsible design.
Our folding landing‑net system is built around three core principles.
1. Compact & Lightweight for Every Adventure
Whether you hike miles into the backcountry, wade long stretches of river, or fish from a kayak or float tube, NETrekk stays out of your way until the moment you need it.
- Collapsible, folding net frame
- Slim, streamlined profile
- Lightweight construction
- Easy to carry on packs, belts, kayaks, and vests
This is gear designed for anglers who are on the move.
2. Eco‑Friendly Materials for a More Sustainable Future
NETrekk prioritizes eco‑friendly, recyclable materials, including:
- Recyclable aircraft‑grade aluminum for handles and staffs
- Rubber, fish‑friendly net baskets that protect slime and scales
- Durable components that reduce waste over time
Unlike carbon‑fiber nets — which require energy‑intensive manufacturing and create a significantly larger carbon footprint — aluminum can be recycled repeatedly without degrading.
For anglers who care about the waters they fish, this matters.
3. Safety for Anglers and Safety for Fish
NETrekk is built to protect both sides of the catch‑and‑release relationship.
Angler Safety
- Telescopic Wading Staff provides stability in fast water
- Helps prevent slips, falls, and twisted ankles
- Offers confidence for aging anglers or anyone navigating uneven riverbeds
- Extends reach for safer landing in deep or swift currents
Fish Safety
- Rubberized, knotless net baskets protect fish slime
- Smooth frame geometry prevents fin damage
- Quick‑drain design reduces handling time
- Supports ethical, responsible catch & release
A safer angler and a safer fish — that’s the NETrekk promise.
Two Purpose‑Built Systems for Different Styles of Angling
Anglers don’t all fish the same way — and they don’t all need the same tool. NETrekk offers two distinct, purpose‑built options, each designed to support a different style of fishing.
1. The Telescopic Wading Staff: Stability, Confidence & Safe Wading
For fly fishers and wade anglers who move through fast currents or uneven riverbeds, the Telescopic Wading Staff provides:
- Stability
- Balance
- Confidence
- Extended reach
- Safer wading posture
It’s especially valuable for senior anglers, guides, and anyone who wants more secure footing in moving water.
2. The Compact Telescopic Handle: Lightweight, Packable & Perfect for Kayaks, Float Tubes, and Boats
For anglers who don’t need a wading staff, NETrekk offers a pure telescopic handle that is:
- Compact
- Lightweight
- Collapsible
- Easy to stow on kayak decks, float tube aprons, or boat compartments
Paired with the folding net frame, it creates a streamlined, packable landing‑net system ideal for mobile anglers.
Built for Fly Fishers, Kayakers, Waders, Guides & Everyday Adventurous Anglers
NETrekk was designed for versatility — not as a buzzword, but as a real solution to the way anglers fish today.
- Fly fishers appreciate the compact carry and fish‑friendly rubber nets.
- Kayakers and float‑tubers love the lightweight telescopic handle and collapsible frame.
- Wade anglers rely on the telescopic staff for stability and extended reach.
- Guides and outfitters trust the durability and reliability.
- Senior anglers gain confidence from the added support and balance.
- Traveling anglers appreciate the packability and light weight.
NETrekk adapts to the angler — not the other way around.
Personalized Lost‑and‑Found ID: Because Every Net Has a Story
Every NETrekk net includes a personalized owner ID decal, giving anglers peace of mind.
If your net is ever lost on the trail, left on a riverbank, or forgotten at a launch, your contact information makes recovery far more likely.
