Waders, kayak anglers, and divers who need a lightweight, packable bag for keeping fish or bait, not a rigid landing net, and who want a 35 x 17.72 inch nylon bag that folds flat when not in use.
Skip if
Anglers who need a rigid frame to scoop a fish out of the water in one motion should skip this. It's a soft nylon keep bag rather than a hooped net, and its 170 review count is the smallest sample of the nets covered here.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Wading a creek or working a kayak, carrying a bulky landing net is not always practical, which is where a foldable keep bag like this one fits in. The Fishing Net Bag Foldable Fishing Keep Net Diving Bag is built from nylon and uses a gillnet style construction rather than a hooped frame, so it packs flat and light.
At 2.86 ounces and $6.99, it is by far the lightest and cheapest option among the nets in this comparison. Sized at 35 x 17.72 inches, it gives enough room to hold a stringer's worth of fish or bait, and the green color blends into water and grass. Being foldable, lightweight, and portable, per the listed features, it is built to disappear into a tackle bag or dive belt until it is needed.
Against the Frabill 2152 ($25.41), Frabill 9510 ($89.99), and 3 1154 ($24.99), all of which are rigid or semi-rigid landing nets, this bag is a different tool for a different job, holding catch rather than scooping it. Its 4.2 star rating across 170 reviews and 50+ bought last month is a smaller sample than any of those three, but the low price makes it a low-risk add-on rather than a primary net.
Pros
- Costs just $6.99, the cheapest net in this comparison by a wide margin
- Weighs only 2.86 ounces, light enough to carry without noticing
- 35 x 17.72 inch nylon bag gives real capacity for its size
- Folds flat for storage, per the listed foldable and portable features
- 4.2 star rating across 170 reviews
- Green color helps it blend into water and bank vegetation
Cons
- 170 reviews is the smallest sample of any net in this comparison
- 50+ bought last month is the lowest reorder signal among these four nets
- Gillnet-style nylon bag has no rigid frame for scooping fish directly
- No brand name is listed, which can make it harder to source replacements
- Lower price often means lighter-duty nylon than the blended or reinforced mesh on pricier nets

Performance notes
The specs here point to a soft, packable design rather than a structural one. At 2.86 ounces, the bag adds almost no weight to a tackle bag or wading belt, and the nylon gillnet construction means it compresses down small when not in use. The 35 x 17.72 inch size gives enough length and width to hold multiple fish or a supply of bait without needing a rigid hoop to keep it open, which is the tradeoff for the light weight. Being described as foldable, lightweight, and portable suggests the intended use is storage and transport rather than active scooping, more of a keep bag for a stringer or dive catch than a net for lifting a fish straight from the water. The green color is a practical choice for blending in against grass banks or murky water rather than a purely cosmetic one.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star rating across 170 reviews is a respectable pattern for a $6.99 accessory, though it sits below the 4.3 to 4.6 star range seen on the pricier nets in this comparison and with a far smaller review base. The 50+ bought last month figure is modest next to the 100+ to 700+ figures on other nets here, which fits a low-cost, lower-visibility product rather than a best seller. Still, a rating holding above 4.2 stars at this price point, combined with InStock availability, suggests buyers are generally getting a bag that folds and holds catch as described, even if it has not built up the review volume of the more established nets in this set.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a rigid landing net or a soft keep bag?
It's a soft nylon bag built with gillnet-style construction, not a rigid hooped net. At 2.86 ounces and 35 x 17.72 inches, it's meant for holding fish or bait rather than scooping a catch straight out of the water like a framed landing net does.
How much does it weigh and does it fold down?
It weighs 2.86 ounces and is listed as foldable, lightweight, and portable, which means it packs down small enough for a tackle bag, wading belt, or dive gear. That makes it easier to carry as a backup than the heavier framed nets in this comparison.
How does it compare in price to other fishing nets?
At $6.99, it's far cheaper than the Frabill 2152 ($25.41), the 3 1154 net ($24.99), or the Frabill 9510 ($89.99). Those three are rigid or semi-rigid landing nets, so the price gap reflects a different design as much as a lower cost.
