A robustly constructed net for sampling rivers and wetlands. The polyester mesh is fine enough to retain all the Waterbugs of interest in The National Waterbug Blitz.

The collapsible handle option is the same in all respects but has a two piece, telescopic aluminium handle, making it easier to store and transport.

The fixed length handle is more robust and probably a better option for energetic folk who like to really get stuck into a creek edge and really fill the net bag full of leaf litter before emptying it.

For convenience of travelling, I use a collapsible net myself.
