Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile lure anglers. The folding build and hanging clip make it easy to carry while working a stretch of river, canal or lake.
- Pike and predator anglers who care about fish handling. The rubberised mesh is designed to reduce lure hooking and provide a more fish-friendly landing surface.
Maybe skip if
- Specimen carp anglers. It isn’t a deep, long-handle carp net designed for repeated work with big, heavy fish.
- Anglers fishing very tight swims. The bigger models offer more room, but their longer handles can be a bit much when there’s hardly any space behind you.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Fox Rage Warrior Net is a cracking all-round predator net for lure anglers. The rubberised mesh is kinder to fish and much less likely to grab your trebles, while the folding design makes it easy to carry from swim to swim.
Pick the size to match your target species and the waters you fish. The 50cm is a neat roving option, while the 60cm and 70cm versions give you more room for bigger pike and awkward bankside landings.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Warrior Net
If you’re wandering the bank with a lure rod, the last thing you want is a massive, awkward net getting in the way. You need something you can carry, deploy quickly and trust when a proper lump follows the lure right into the margins. That’s where the Fox Rage Warrior Net comes in.
It’s made for predator anglers rather than traditional carp work. Think pike, perch and zander sessions where you’re covering water, changing spots and keeping the kit fairly lean. The Warrior Net folds down easily, clips on while you’re mobile and is ready when a bite-time fish finally commits.
There are three versions in the range: 50cm, 60cm and 70cm diameter. That gives you a decent choice without making things needlessly confusing. The 50cm is the neatest option for general roving. The 60cm adds a bit more landing space. The 70cm is the one to look at when bigger pike are the main target.
Handle reach changes with the net size, too. The 50cm model extends to 2m, the 60cm reaches 2.1m and the 70cm stretches to 2.4m. That extra length can be a real bonus from high banks, steep edges or swims where getting down to water level is a bit of a faff.
The mesh is rubberised, which is a big tick for predator fishing. Treble hooks and ordinary mesh can become a proper nightmare when a fish rolls. Rubberised mesh helps reduce lure hooking, so you’re less likely to spend ages wrestling your plug out of the net instead of getting the fish safely unhooked.
It’s also designed with fish care in mind. A net is only one part of the job, of course. You still need a suitable unhooking mat or padded area, forceps and decent cutters within reach. But a rubberised landing net gives you a much better starting point than rough, knotty mesh.
The shaped arms help create a larger usable netting area. That matters when a pike turns sideways at the net or a perch gives you one last cheeky wriggle. You want enough room to guide the fish in without stabbing at it or trying to scoop too aggressively.
The folding construction suits the way lure anglers fish. Clip it on, walk the stretch, cast to likely cover and keep your hands free. When the rods are off and a fish is ready to come aboard, the net should be a quick movement rather than a full kit rearrangement.
Build-wise, Fox Rage has gone for a robust construction with a matt-black premium finish. It looks smart without being shouty, and the design feels aimed at anglers who want a dependable bit of kit rather than a flimsy emergency net.
The choice comes down to your usual fish and swims. For general predator work, the 50cm or 60cm versions should cover plenty of situations. If you’re targeting bigger pike, fishing awkward banks or simply want more margin for error, the 70cm gives you a more forgiving landing area. Either way, it’s a practical bit of kit that keeps the bank walk moving and the fish-handling job nice and simple.

Our take
A net that keeps the mobile angler moving
The big selling point here is how well the Warrior Net fits proper lure fishing. You can clip it on, move along the bank and get it out quickly when a screaming take turns into a fish at your feet.
It’s not trying to be a fancy specimen carp net. It’s a practical predator tool: robust, fish-friendly and designed to make landing a good fish less of a faff.
What you’re buying
A folding net with predator-friendly mesh
The Fox Rage Warrior Net combines an easy-fold frame, shaped arms and rubberised mesh. That’s a useful mix for lure fishing, where you may be walking a long way between casts and need the net close without carrying a bulky frame open all session.
The rubberised mesh is the main feature to focus on. It helps reduce lure hooking and is designed to support better fish care. That means less faffing with trebles and a calmer landing process when a pike or perch is twisting about.
A hanging clip adds to the mobile setup. Clip the net to your bag, waders or clothing, then keep moving until you find the fish. The matt-black finish and robust construction round off a design that’s practical rather than overcomplicated.
Worth knowing. The longer handle comes with the larger sizes: 2m on the 50cm, 2.1m on the 60cm and 2.4m on the 70cm. That extra reach is useful on steep or high banks, but think about transport and swim space before automatically choosing the biggest model.
On the bank
Pick the size around your fishing
The 50cm model is the compact roving option. It suits anglers covering canals, rivers and smaller stillwaters where perch and average-sized pike are the target. It’s easier to carry and less likely to catch on every bush behind you.
The 60cm version is the middle ground. It gives a bit more room when a fish comes in awkwardly, without going fully large. For many predator anglers, that balance will be bob on for everyday sessions.
The 70cm model is the safer shout for bigger pike and demanding banks. The wider landing area and 2.4m reach give you more help when the water is below your feet or the fish needs guiding away from snags.
Whichever size you choose, have your unhooking kit ready before the first cast. Net the fish smoothly, keep it low and wet, and don’t leave a predator dangling while you search for forceps. Good kit makes the job easier, but good habits finish it properly.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
The Warrior Net is best viewed as a dedicated predator landing net. Its folding build and rubberised mesh make sense for lure fishing, especially when you’re moving around rather than sitting behind static rods.
It can work across a mix of predator waters, but the ideal size depends on access. A long handle is handy from a high bank, yet can be annoying in a tight swim. A wider net gives more confidence with a big pike, but it also takes more room when packed.
For fish care, pair it with a proper unhooking setup. Get the net wet first where possible, keep the fish supported and deal with hooks quickly. The rubberised mesh helps, but it’s not a substitute for sharp cutters and calm handling.
Worth knowing. If your fishing is mostly carp, this isn’t the net to buy instead of a deep carp landing net. If your sessions are about following the lure, covering water and landing predators cleanly, the Warrior Net is much more in its element.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Rubberised mesh is kinder to predator fish and reduces lure snagging.
- Three size options cover everything from compact roving work to larger pike.
- Easy-fold construction is handy when you’re moving between swims.
- Shaped arms create a useful netting area without making the whole thing feel needlessly cumbersome.
- The hanging clip is dead handy when you’re fishing light and mobile.
Worth knowing
- The larger 70cm version will take up more room when carrying tight to the bank.
- A folding predator net still needs a bit of practice to position smoothly with a lively fish.
- The range is focused on lure fishing, so it won’t replace a deep carp net for big-water specimen work.
