Triangular Fishing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle, Fishing Landing Net Review
Our verdict
The Triangular Fishing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle is a budget landing net at $9.99, and its 300+ bought last month figure shows steady demand despite only 11 reviews. At less than half the price of the Frabill 2152, it works as a low-risk pickup for anglers who just need a net that scoops fish, not a showpiece.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want a cheap, packable net for casual trips, kids just starting out, or anyone who keeps a spare net around for when the primary net breaks or gets left at home.
Skip if
Skip it if you fish often enough that a net failure mid-trip would cost you a good catch, since 11 reviews is a thin sample compared to the 1,800 reviews backing the Frabill 2152 at a similar price point.

11 owner reviews, fewer than most models 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
Picture wading up to a stream bank with a rod in one hand and no net because the one you own does not collapse small enough to carry. The Triangular Fishing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle solves that specific problem at $9.99, a price low enough that losing or breaking it does not sting.
Amazon lists no material or weight specs for this net beyond the name itself, which describes a triangular hoop and a telescoping pole handle, the two features that matter most for portability. Compare that to the Frabill 2152 at $25.41, which has 1,800 reviews and a documented Seine Net technique, or the 3 1154 at $24.99 with a Nylon build and Wade Fishing technique. This net undercuts both on price by more than half.
With a 4.0 star rating across 11 reviews and 300+ units bought last month, the demand signal outpaces the review count, meaning plenty of buyers have not left feedback yet. That gap makes this net a reasonable low-cost option, but not one to lean on for high-stakes fishing where the better-documented Frabill or 3 1154 nets carry more of a track record.
Pros
- Priced at $9.99, less than half of the $24.99 to $25.41 range for the two closest alternatives
- 300+ bought last month signals strong recent demand for a budget net
- Telescoping pole handle collapses for easy storage in a tackle bag or truck
- Triangular hoop shape is built for scooping fish boatside or bankside
- 4.0 star rating holds up even at a fraction of competitor pricing
Cons
- Only 11 reviews, a tiny sample next to the Frabill 2152's 1,800
- No material or weight specs listed, so build quality is hard to verify against the alternatives
- 4.0 stars trails the 4.3 to 4.5 range of the three Frabill and 3 1154 alternatives
- Generic listing with no established brand name backing it, unlike Frabill's two documented models
Performance notes
A telescoping pole handle is the detail that decides whether a net earns a permanent spot in a tackle bag or gets left behind. On this net, that handle extends for reach at the bank and collapses back down for transport, which matters more for anglers who walk to their spots than for boat fishing, where a fixed-handle net like the Frabill 9510, sized at 20 by 23 inches, has room to spare. The triangular hoop shape trades some scooping width for a lighter, more packable frame, the opposite tradeoff made by the Frabill 2152's Seine Net design built for wider coverage. At $9.99, this net is priced for anglers who want a functional backup or starter net rather than a primary tool for landing larger or harder fighting fish, a role better suited to the heavier builds of the pricier alternatives in this comparison.
What buyers say
A 4.0 star average sitting on just 11 reviews is a small enough sample that the number could shift meaningfully with the next handful of ratings, unlike the Frabill 2152's 4.3 stars across 1,800 reviews, which is essentially locked in. What stands out is the 300+ bought last month figure, purchase volume three times higher than either Frabill model's 100+ and comparable to the 3 1154's 400+. That combination, high recent purchases against a thin review base, suggests a lot of buyers are picking this net up cheaply and simply have not gotten around to reviewing it yet, which is common for low-price accessories rather than a red flag on its own.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Triangular Fishing Net with Telescoping Pole Handle good for boat fishing?
No detailed size specs are listed for this net, unlike the Frabill 9510's documented 20 by 23 inch hoop built for boat use. At $9.99, this net reads more as a bank or kayak fishing accessory sized for portability than a dedicated boat net, so anglers landing larger fish from a boat may want a bigger, better-documented option.
How does this net compare to the Frabill 2152 at $25.41?
The Frabill 2152 costs about two and a half times more but backs that price with 1,800 reviews at 4.3 stars and a documented Seine Net technique. This net costs $9.99 with a thinner 11 review sample at 4.0 stars, making it the cheaper, less proven pick of the two.
Does the telescoping handle affect durability?
No independent durability data is listed beyond the 4.0 star rating across 11 reviews. Telescoping handles generally add a collapsible joint that fixed-handle nets like the Frabill 9510 do not have, which can be a wear point over time, though there is not enough review volume here yet to confirm how it holds up.
