Telescopic XQ-LL-AT-013 Fishing Net Review
Our verdict
The Telescopic XQ-LL-AT-013 Fishing Net earns its spot at $12.99 mostly on demand: 200+ units bought last month and 568 reviews averaging 4.1 stars show it moves fast in a crowded net category. It will not out-build the pricier Frabill nets, but at this price point it is a reasonable grab-and-go option for casual anglers.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want a cheap, disposable-feeling net for occasional bank fishing or kids' outings, and who care more about price than the sturdier build of the pricier Frabill options in this category.
Skip if
Skip it if you fish often enough that net durability matters more than upfront cost. The $89.99 Frabill 9510 and $25.41 Frabill 2152 both carry higher average ratings and may hold up better over time.

Overview
A landing net is one of those items anglers grab last and regret not buying sooner, especially when a good fish finally comes over the side of the boat or bank. The Telescopic XQ-LL-AT-013 Fishing Net sits at the budget end of that decision, priced at $12.99.
At that price, the XQ-LL-AT-013 is roughly half of what the Frabill 2152 ($25.41) or the 3 1154 ($24.99) cost, and a fraction of the Frabill 9510's $89.99 price tag. Its own numbers back up steady demand: a 4.1 star average across 568 reviews and 200+ units bought last month, both signs that a large number of buyers have used it without major complaint, even if the rating trails the 4.3 to 4.5 stars posted by the three Frabill and 3 1154 nets in this same category.
For anglers deciding between a cheap net and a pricier one, the XQ-LL-AT-013 is a fine entry point if budget is the deciding factor. It currently shows as in stock, and the review volume suggests it is a common purchase rather than an obscure listing. Anyone who wants a longer track record or a slightly higher rating should weigh the Frabill options against the savings this net offers.
Pros
- Priced at $12.99, well under the $24.99 to $89.99 range of the Frabill and 3 1154 nets in this comparison.
- 200+ units bought last month, indicating steady ongoing demand.
- 568 reviews is a substantial sample size for gauging consistency.
- 4.1 star average rating reflects generally positive buyer experience.
- Currently listed as in stock and readily available.
Cons
- 4.1 star average trails the 4.3 to 4.5 stars posted by the Frabill 2152, Frabill 9510, and 3 1154.
- No material, weight, or size specs are listed, making it harder to judge build quality against competitors.
- At 568 reviews, it has less than a third of the review volume behind the Frabill 2152's 1,800.
- Bought last month figure of 200+ trails the 3 1154's 400+, suggesting softer recent demand by comparison.
Performance notes
There isn't a detailed spec sheet listed for the XQ-LL-AT-013, so the clearest read on what it delivers comes from price and demand. At $12.99, it sits in the budget tier of the fishing net category, well below the $24.99 to $89.99 range of the Frabill and 3 1154 nets, which do list details like blend or nylon mesh, netting weight, and specific hoop sizes. Buyers shopping by price alone are getting a functional net without much documentation on how it is built. The 4.1 star rating across 568 reviews suggests most buyers get a net that does its basic job of landing a fish, and 200+ units bought last month shows it keeps selling despite the higher-rated competition. Anyone who wants to know exact hoop diameter, handle length, or net material before buying will need to check the listing directly, since none of that is part of the available facts here.
What buyers say
A 4.1 star average across 568 reviews puts the XQ-LL-AT-013 in solid but not standout territory within this net comparison, since the Frabill 2152, Frabill 9510, and 3 1154 all post ratings between 4.3 and 4.5. The volume of reviews, though, points to a wide buyer base rather than a niche pick, and 200+ units bought last month confirms it is still actively selling. That combination, a large review base with a middling-for-the-category rating, typically points to a product that satisfies most buyers on basic function but loses some to complaints that keep the average below the pricier options. It reads as a popular budget choice rather than a top-rated one.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Telescopic XQ-LL-AT-013 Fishing Net a good value at $12.99?
At $12.99, it is priced well below the $24.99 to $89.99 range of the Frabill and 3 1154 nets in this comparison. With a 4.1 star rating across 568 reviews and 200+ bought last month, it appears to satisfy a large share of buyers looking for an affordable option rather than a premium build.
How does this net compare to the Frabill 2152?
The Frabill 2152 costs $25.41, about double the XQ-LL-AT-013's $12.99, and carries a higher 4.3 star rating across 1,800 reviews. The XQ-LL-AT-013 sells for less and still draws 200+ purchases a month, so the choice comes down to whether the higher price and rating of the Frabill justify the cost difference.
Is the XQ-LL-AT-013 currently in stock?
Yes, the listing shows it as in stock. Combined with 200+ units bought last month and 568 existing reviews averaging 4.1 stars, that pattern suggests consistent availability rather than an item prone to running out, being discontinued, or sitting on shelves unsold.
