Easy to assemble and easy to break down for storage. Just what I wanted.

Added an extendable paint rod to it. Allows us to stay back away from the minnows. When they are on it, pull. Easy to use.

I live on a small lake and use an umbrella net 3 or more times per week to obtain fish bait and for food for my pet turtles. I only bought this product because I wanted the net part. I already had a metal frame from a Ranger umbrella net that I had bought previously. The Frabill net part will do, but it is not that great because the mesh is wider than I would like, as well as stiff. As for the Frabill frame, no instructions were provided, so I don’t know what was missing from the box but, there is no way that the frame of a functional drop net could be constructed from what I received. Further, the struts of the frame are thin and flimsy. This is the third brand of 42” umbrella net that I have used. The Promar was the worst, as its frame design caused the net to slip off, making the entire rig spring apart in a spectacular spray of water. After modifying it, I still use the Promar net part. The best was the Ranger net which, at this writing, Amazon no longer offers. I have had three of them and wore them out with heavy use (and storage outside) at a rate of about one every 2 years. With the Ranger, I have caught hundreds of bait fish, dozens of turtles (not on purpose and released), 2 eating size-catfish and 1 bass (also released), and 2 water snakes. I can’t recommend the Frabill umbrella net to anyone who doesn’t already have a functional umbrella net frame.

Open this up yesterday and it's missing the top where the metal arms connect and the rope ties too. My 7yr old she was pretty upset too.

Shocked and saddened it was made by Frabill. After putting it together and trying to use it. Metal arms slide out of the top middle piece as the arms don't clip or clamp to it. Just slides in and slides out which happened immediately as the metal arms aren't thick enough and bend really easy. Tiny hole in center of top center piece that you could barely fit twine through never mind any kind of rope and you can't tie rope to the center piece as then you'll lose the whole net and arms from it sliding out of center piece as nothing is attached to center piece except sling arms. The mesh material was the only good thing about this product except large loops on corners where you attach it to arms which slide off the poles and make the net sag even more. Add in the flexible arms bending and you get the picture. Shame Frabill. At least take it off the market (still seen it in stores) or improve on it. Trust me, don't buy this product.
