I fish small mountain creeks here in Colorado, and the Brookie is exactly the net I wanted for them. It's light, it's the right size, and it looks even better in person than in the photos. You can tell JD built it by hand, and Bailly made the whole thing easy from the first email. Thank you both. This one's coming with me everywhere next season.

Great looking net, fast shipping, and a local business what more could one ask for! Going to be perfect for those high elevation brookies.
beautiful little rod. plan on using it on the Bitterroot. took it out for a few casts today. can’t wait to feel a fish on the other end.
Got an amazing net from Hellbender! It's light in hand but super durable!!! Also it's easy on the eyes!
Blue Line w/ Tether - 11x19" Hoop - Bamboo Fly Fishing Landing Net/Hand Net
Amazing hat! Fits perfectly and it has been my go to hat! Thanks again✌🏻
I am building myself a Brookie Fly Rod and the rattan handle adds a part of the spice to the rod. I hope to make it an unusual piece, part art and part unique but definitely a fly-fishing rod.
Better than I could make myself. Classy and functional grip.
This net is awesome, first chance was in boat, 17” walleye. My buddy denis landed his fish by himself. 24” handle on a 19” hoop, UPSTREAM model. Denis thinks it belongs on his wall up north. Color is great. Doug
Amazing net! Thank you for supporting the Women’s Tenkara Gathering as well.
I rarely write reviews before actually having an opportunity to really test out a new piece of gear. That being said I just could not help myself, I had to get this out! Hands down the most beautiful net I have seen to date! I just got my Pocketwater, Long Handle, Rubber Coated Mesh, net in and holy smokes! It is lightweight, great balance, and an absolute work of art. I am beyind thrilled and love the idea of the rubber coated mesh potentially being more durable and the smaller holes for the small fish up in the Appalachian creeks near me are perfect.
Cling makes some awesome products and just when I thought they couldn't get much better I found these with the Helbender logo in the middle of the tray and I think it is the perfect touch! Absolutely love the design!
Great craftsmanship, extremely light weight, and the perfect size. A great compliment to my bamboo rods. Love it.
I love this net! It's lightweight, feels great in hand and is just beautiful. Can't believe I was debating a fishpond instead of this awesome net!
Fast shipping and great addition to the net for storing on back when wading
Can't wait! In two weeks I'll be on the Metolius river. And the new Blue Line will be on my back. I might even get to sneak out to the N. Santiam this week. Great net!!
Great looking and well built. Customer service and shipping were excellent. Fantastic net…fantastic company. Highly recommend.
Love the grip! It really accents the bamboo rod. JD was a super help in picking the correct grip and even did a bit of bore sizing, which was above and beyond. Every fly rod I make going forward will use this grip from Hellbender.
These rattan wrapped cork grips are wonderful On my bamboo builds and the grip is awsome
Best net ever, it’s craftsmanship is second to none and customer service is A+. Great people to deal with. Will be buying another soon.
Awesome people to deal with and high quality rod build. This thing feels better than my $1000 sage r8 rod I have. Super excited about fishing creeks with this setup and having some future builds coming their way soon!
This is my second Hellbender net and I love this one as much as the first. The Speck is perfect for pursuing Brook Trout in Catskill and Adirondack Mountain headwaters. Excellent quality, distinctive looks, light and strong.
Outstanding product. Very strong magnetic and really well made. It is the best net magnet I have ever purchased.
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.
Excellent looking net, better than I had imagined.
This little net is first class! Love the fit and finish. They are very quick to ship and you can tell they take pride in their product. Can’t wait to wet a line and put this little guy in service.
Incredible customer service and an even better product. The craftsmanship and detail are so beautiful!
As a repeat customer, I purchased a 2nd well-designed net tender for my various landing nets. Thanks again!!!
Wow, what a gorgeous net. I’m impressed with the rubberized nylon basket and how light and beautiful this flamed net is. The customer service was fantastic, as I tried to figure out the handle and basket size, it felt like I was part of the process. I already have my eye on another Hellbender net purchase.
Awesome quality, best looking net I’ve ever seen. Quick delivery which meant the world to me. Really into the company.
Love it, exactly what I was looking for!
Wow the craftsmanship on this net is superb. Cant wait to get it wet. And thanks for the bonus goodies.
This is one of the nicest nets I have ever owned. Well made and so unique. Love how it looks and so do my fishing buddies. Thanks for such a great service and a outstanding net.
Very cool net! I replaced a 15 year old net with this stylish, well built net made of light but super strong bamboo. The only improvement would be to add a quick release mechanism in order to easily remove the net from my pack without fiddling with the key ring thingies. Outside of that minor issue it is great.
Requested a longer handle on the upstream and got immediate response of we can do. Net was made and shipped in 3 days. I can't tell you how beautiful it is. It is amazingly light weight. Can't wait to get on the stream with it. It will see lots of action in AZ, NM and Colorado. Thanks for the quick response and beautiful craftmanship. This one was ordered as a gift, but will be ordering one for me soon!!!
Incredible net! Stoked to put this one to use at my local spots here in Colorado. Thanks!
This net is exactly what I was looking for. I was able to request the handle length, and the bamboo feels great in hand. This net feels like quality but is also light weight. I am very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend.
I have two of there nets and I absolutely love them! I love the craftsmanship that goes in the all of the nets and they are beautiful and the best part are MADE IN THE USA!!!
Beautiful, well made and functional. Outstanding customer service.
My second net from them. Great quality net. No issues at all .
