The nets have been weight tested at over 20 pounds. So, the net can handle any size fish that will actually fit into the net.

The net has a patented design with a spring loaded actuator and locking mechanism. To operate the unit, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the net is in the loaded position (net in line with main shaft).
2. Catch fish and reel up to hole
3. Insert net, weight first, into the hole
4. Lower the net completely below fish
5. When the red line on the ruler is below the fish, squeeze the handle to actuate
6. Allow the net to snap up at 90 degrees and lock into place
7. Slowly pull net up out of hole allowing the fish to fill into the net
8. Remove fish from net
9. Reset net by squeezing handle and simultaneously rotating net 90 degrees to the locked position
10. Set aside until the next fish is caught

The nets are sized to accommodate the associated auger size. For example, a 7.5” net works for all 7.5” augers and larger.

The nets are virtually maintenance free but it is important to allow the net to hang dry prior to storage. The nets can be hand washed with warm water and a mild detergent. Store in a dry place.

ICELANDER nets are made with freeze and hook resistant rubber.

The best way to verify this is to see what auger size you have. For example, an 8” net will work with an 8” auger (or larger) but will not work for a 7.5” auger.

Keep in mind, some resorts have switched to using 7.5” augers.
