We offer a variety of Stainless Steel Hand Nets.
These can come in either 10” x 7” rectangular fry nets or 12” x 9” ‘D’ shape frame hand nets. Both are available with a stainless steel frame which has protection around it.
The 10” x 7” nets are made using Fry II mesh and come with a smooth 19mm handle.
The 12” x 9” nets are made using Fryma mesh. They are available with a 19mm or 34mm handle. This can either come in smooth or ribbed. They come as a ‘D’ shape.
Replacement nets are available.

Hand nets are built for precision work. They offer smaller hoop sizes, shorter handles, and finer mesh options for fry, juveniles, or broodstock inspection. Dip nets are for power and speed. Hand nets are for accuracy and gentle handling.
Use soft knotless micromesh. It prevents gill-cover abrasions and reduces fin tears. Finer mesh holds small fish securely while keeping water flow steady. Coated meshes are often chosen when nets see repetitive tank work.
Yes. Stainless steel stands up to constant disinfection, high humidity, and repeated daily handling. Because they keep their shape, operators get consistent net behaviour, which improves fish welfare and reduces escapes.
Short handles maximise control in tanks and troughs. Medium handles work for shallow raceways or ponds. Longer handles reach across wide tanks, but they reduce precision. Choose based on water depth and how close you can safely get to the fish.
Cheaper nets deform and wear out quickly during daily use. Stainless frames hold tension, resist twisting, and maintain net shape. This improves capture success and reduces handling stress.
