From our friends at Nets That Honor the Fish comes the coolest net wrangling solution on the market!
From the maker himself:
"I like the rugged traditional look of leather and wanted an elegant way of hanging my net on my vest. After seeing a dome shaped rare earth magnet the ideas came together. The perfect carrier for a custom landing net.
The uniquely cut harness leather strap loops around the net frame attaching the magnet and allowing your net to hang in balance off your fishing vest. A handy edition to your fishing kit."
This magnetic net tether features two rare earth magnets. One is round which makes it super easy to get your fishing net right back where it needs to be when you're done landing the fish.
The leather that Keep and Release uses for this net keeper is a great compliment to the bamboo and copper that we use to build our fishing nets.

Got to use it today , definitely a game changer. Excellent magnetic strength, does not fall off on its own. A perfect complement to my hellbender net. Quality products.

Hey Bryan, sounds like you had a great day! We're super glad that you decided to add a Hellbender to your growing gear pile, and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and photos. Fish on!
High quality, the magnets (one flat surface and one rounded joining surface) are more user friendly than those on other teathers where both surfaces are flat.
What a unique handmade net. So beautiful and balanced. Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect size for the eastern sierra streams I fish in. I will be placing another order for Christmas gifts soon to surprise friends and family members. The teather is a perfect match for the net and make access to it very simple. I love this product.
My second net just delivered is as nice as my first net. Great
Craftsmanship and quality. Love the lightness of the net.
Great company and people to deal with.

I've tried several ways to tether my net out in the river. This setup is the best! The magnet is very strong, and the hemispheric design makes attaching it a breeze. Great product!
Hellbender Nets are not only functional, they are a work of Art - flamed (my preference) or natural unflamed bamboo with copper wire lacing to hold the bag on. Very beautiful work. You also have a choice of 4 bags to choose from. I can’t wait to take a photo of my first fish in it, yes, I’ll share it you. Also, their Rare Earth Tether is Awesome. Be sure to check out all their models and options at Hellbendernets.com. Also, feel free to email me with any questions
Without it, I lost an expensive net. Snagged a tree on a hike in Alaska and pulled right out of my sling without me knowing 🤦🏻♂️. With it, I haven’t lost an expensive net 🤣
Seriously though, the cost of this magnet is much less than your lost equipment. Get one.

Nice catch, Jeff!!! Thank you so much for sharing. We always like seeing the adventures these nets get to go on.
What a convenient way to store my net! The magnet is really powerful, and the rounded surface makes it really easy to find when I got to reset the net on my back / off my waders. Great product!
I love this company. I purchased the brookie net, which I have put through the ringer. Great net and very cool looking. Super light and very well constructed. Just purchased the net tether, which I will put to use come Spring. And their stickers are super cool. Great company and made in the USA!
