Let customers speak for us
The guys at Rising are great, And the build quality on the stubby lunker net is bulletproof, This net will last 2 lifetimes.
Get one now if you appreciate tough made in USA gear.
Looking for a durable, lightweight, travel friendly, and made in USA net for landing that tank? Look no further, this is your net! I use this net while wading and it still feels comfortable carrying given the size. Very nice for netting larger fish in big/fast moving water.
They give you great control without harming the fish, as well as keep the teeth away from your fingers. They are easy to carry and easy to use. If I let friends or family try them, they want their own; they make great gifts.
Great net! I typically use the Stubby Lunker when chasing big trout on big rivers, but this is my go-to for small stream fishing. I also take this as a back-up net on the big rivers and it will still land a 20"+ trout in a pinch. I got it in pink, which makes me smile when I land a rainbow in it. I like the knurled handle and the measurements along the side, although I use those more on the Stubby Lunker than I do on the Brookie. Both nets are very durable and I like them much better than other "top nets" on the market. This company is great to work with as well. I don't see myself buying another other net in the future.
Amazing net! I much prefer this to the other "popular" nets out there. I got mine with a deep bag, which has been crucial in keeping large trout from flopping out at the critical moment. It is not the lightest net out there, but it is light enough that I don't notice it on my back. I use a leash from the top of my vest and have magnet to connect the handle there and then another magnet to connect the hoop to my belt as well. This keeps the net from bouncing all over the place when I walk/wade. I like the knurled handle and haven't had an issue with slippage. I have, on the other hand, had the handle freeze to my glove when was about 6 degrees out. I love the measurements on the side of the hoop and found that you can use other "landmarks" along the handle to measure those beasts that exceed 21". Overall, I've been very happy with this net and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one when the need arises. Also, a word on Rising's customer service - it is awesome! I'm very happy with this company.
These are my go-to hemostats. Nice and lightweight. I like that towards the tip is flat and then the other portion has the "grabbing ridges." The spring and locking mechanism function perfectly. Grip is solid and comfortable. The only thing I didn't like was the eye clearing spike. I had the misfortune of catching some flesh in that thing and as you can imaging, that was quite unpleasant. I just cut it off and filed it down flush. If I lost these on the river, or elsewhere, I would buy again without hesitation.
These things are huge! They work well for what they are and the eye clearing needle comes in handy at times.
Small (in a good way) and lightweight. I'll admit that I don't use as much as I probably should, but when I need it, it gets the job done very well.
The greatest way to use scrape metal. Absolutely love mine. Definitely a head turner.
I have used these to tie everything from 12" synthetic striper flies to size 20 midges and can say they are the best scissors I have used. Very comfortable and friendly to my hand, and have had no issues cutting any material with them. Bigger synthetic fibers tend to dull scissors quickly, but the ability to adjust these blades has made them last much longer than any other pair I have used. Would Highly recommend.
I was never a fan of the larger lumbar packs until I had the ability to try this one. The multiple straps make this extremely comfortable, and easy to slide around my waist if I need to access the pouch when Im standing waist deep in the river. I tend to take longer hikes into deeper sections of river and need something that I can pack food, water, camera, rain shell and of course way too many boxes in. This pack fits all of my needs and has been durable and comfortable in the most remote situations.
Absolutely love my brookie net. When hiking deep into the backwoods of Maine searching for big brookies, this thing has been the perfect combination of size and weight to get the job done. Not too long to get caught on branches, but big enough to net fish without snapping the tip of your rod off. The hoop size is perfect for just about any trout species and the flat end of the hoop makes netting fish in shallower water so much easier. Not to mention, the color combinations on these are just badass!
Hands down one of the most epic pieces of gear on the market for the traveling fly angler. By removing 1 screw this thing packs down and will easily fit in any piece of luggage or carry on bag. It’s built like a tank, and easily accepts the extension handle for some added length which came in handy while fishing pyramid lake and from a drift boat on the white river. Ordering was easy, shipping was fast, and the anodized finish and laser etching are all top notch. I can’t recommend this net enough!
Simply the best scissors I have come across in 25 years of tying. Super comfortable and perfect for use when tying midges.
