Retractable Drop Net – Crayfish, Shrimp & Crab Fishing Trap

Retractable Drop Net for Crayfish, Shrimp, Crab & More

Whether you're fishing from the shore, a dock, or a tank edge, this versatile drop fishing net makes catching crayfish, shrimp, crabs, eels, and small fish effortless. Crafted from durable nylon mesh in a classic army green finish, it collapses for easy transport and opens fully for a wide, effective catch area.

The clever retractable design means you can gather the net in one hand while securing your catch with the other — no complicated folding needed. Use it vertically from the shoreline for best results, and attach a float with rope so the net stays upright without startling nearby fish or shrimp.
