McLean Weigh-Net Hinged Telescopic (Model 130)
The McLean Weigh-Net Hinged Telescopic (Model 130) is a professional-grade fly fishing landing net that combines three essential tools in one—an oversized landing net, an integrated mechanical scale and a telescopic hinged handle. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, it is the ideal choice for anglers fishing large rivers, reservoirs, lakes or high riverbanks where additional reach can make all the difference.
A built-in mechanical scale, discreetly integrated into the handle, allows you to weigh fish up to 6.5 kg (14 lb) without carrying a separate scale. The telescopic handle extends to 135 cm, while the hinged mechanism folds neatly for easy transport and convenient one-handed operation. A non-slip rubber grip ensures a secure hold even in wet conditions, and the soft woven knotless mesh protects the fish's natural slime coating, making the net an excellent choice for responsible catch-and-release fishing.
