Kick nets with a collector bottle in the center are great for collecting macro zooplankton and small invertebrates in open water. This net drains collected invertebrates into a 125 ml plastic bottle for simple removal. Use in a sweeping motion like a seine in open water, a big kick net downstream of aquatic weeds, or as a big drift net to collect floating invertebrates.
These kick nets have a sleeve for a handle on each side with grommets to securely attach the net to screw hooks on the hardwood handles. The handles have a wear resistant metal cleat to reduce damage to the bottom of the handle and makes holding the net easier and more secure.
The screen is made of Nitex® bolting cloth with 500µm mesh and is weighted on the bottom. Measures 1m x 1m (40" x 40").
