Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Roving and stalking anglers. The folding frame packs down neatly when you’re walking the bank and hopping between likely-looking spots.
- Coarse and commercial fishery anglers. The soft mesh and choice of three sizes cover everything from silverfish and perch to decent carp.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting a ready-to-fish net in one box. There’s no handle included, so you’ll need to pair it with a compatible landing-net pole.
- Big-fish specialists after a very deep, oversized net. Even the 30-inch model is aimed at practical coarse and carp use rather than extreme specimen work.

Anodised aluminium, a reinforced spreader block and fish-friendly mesh give it a properly considered build.
The folding frame, sensible mesh depths and choice of sizes suit a wide range of everyday fishing situations.
It won’t catch fish for you, but the soft mesh and suitable depth help you land and handle them more safely.
It packs down neatly and the retaining tag is handy, though you still need to source and fit a separate pole.
The practical extras and folding design add useful value, provided you already own or budget for a compatible handle.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Korum Folding Spoon Net
A landing net needs to do one job first: get the fish safely from the water into your hands. But if you’re a roving angler, there’s another job too. It needs to be easy to carry. That’s where the Korum Folding Spoon Net comes in, mate.
This is a compact, folding landing-net head designed for anglers who don’t fancy lugging a full, rigid setup around every swim. The frame folds away for transport, so it’s a tidy option for stalking, canal work, river fishing and any session where you’re moving more than you’re sitting still.
You get three sizes to choose from: 22-inch, 26-inch and 30-inch. That gives you a fair bit of room to match the net to the venue and the fish you’re targeting. The 22-inch is a neat general coarse option, while the 30-inch gives you more confidence when a proper lump turns up in the margins.
Mesh depth changes with the frame size as well. The 22-inch version has a 40 cm mesh depth, the 26-inch reaches 50 cm and the 30-inch goes to 65 cm. That extra depth is handy when a fish is thrashing about at the net or you’re dealing with a longer-bodied carp, barbel or tench.
The frame itself is made from anodised 12 × 9 mm aluminium. That keeps the build sensible for mobile fishing without turning the net into a bendy bit of garden furniture. The folding design is the headline feature, but the reinforced spreader block is an important touch too. It gives the net a solid connection point for your landing-net pole.
The mesh is super-soft and fish-friendly, which is exactly what you want around modern coarse and carp fishing. It’s also quick-drying, so you’re not chucking a soaking net into the back of the car after every bite-time flurry. Still give it a rinse where required, of course, especially after fishing silty or weedy venues.
Korum has also included a retaining tag system. That helps keep the folded frame under control when you’re carrying it, rather than letting the whole thing spring open at an awkward moment. It sounds like a small detail, but little bits of design like this can save a fair bit of faff on the bank.
The included nylon stink sleeve is another dead handy extra. Wet landing nets can make the whole tackle bag smell like a canal basin by the time you get home. The sleeve gives you somewhere sensible to contain the net while it dries out, instead of letting it stew next to your bait tubs and spare clothing.
There is one thing to keep clear before you buy: the landing-net pole isn’t included. This is the folding head only, and it’s suitable for Korum landing-net poles. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it does mean you need to budget for a compatible handle if you haven’t already got one. Get the size right, pair it with a decent pole and this becomes a properly useful net for compact, mobile fishing.

Our take
The clever bit is the folding frame
This isn’t just a small net trimmed down for convenience. The spoon-shaped frame folds away, making it far less of a faff when you’re moving between swims or packing a compact tackle bag.
The mesh is soft, quick-drying and kinder around fish, while the nylon stink sleeve helps keep wet net smells away from the rest of your gear. Choose the 30-inch if bigger carp or lumps are on the cards; go smaller for roach, perch, chub and general coarse work.
The folding design
A neat head with the right practical touches
The Korum Folding Spoon Net is all about making landing a fish less of a faff when you’re carrying minimal kit. The frame folds and collapses for transport, then opens out when you reach the swim. That makes a lot of sense for stalking, river fishing, canal sessions and any day when the rods are off and you’re on the move.
Its anodised 12 × 9 mm aluminium frame gives it a sensible balance of strength and portability. The reinforced spreader block is the bit that connects to your pole, while the retaining tag system helps keep the folded net secure. The soft mesh is kinder around fish and dries quickly after the session.
Worth knowing. The package doesn’t include a handle. You’ll need a suitable Korum landing-net pole separately, so check your existing pole and fittings before ordering.
Picking your size
Match the net to your venue and target fish
The 22-inch version is the compact choice for roach, skimmers, perch and general coarse fishing. Its 40 cm mesh depth keeps things manageable when you’re fishing small canals, tight margins or swims where a large net would just get in the way.
The 26-inch model is the middle ground. It gives you a bit more room for tench, chub and commercial carp without becoming a nuisance to carry. The 50 cm mesh depth is a useful step up when fish are lively or your target average is climbing.
For carp, barbel and bigger general coarse fish, the 30-inch is the safer shout. Its 65 cm mesh depth gives a fish more room once it’s in the water. That said, serious specimen anglers chasing very big fish may still want a larger specialist net.
Straight answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
Is the mesh genuinely fish-friendly? Yes, it uses super-soft mesh designed with fish care in mind. Wet it before use, support the fish properly and don’t leave a catch sitting in the net while you sort your mat and camera.
Does quick-drying mean it can go straight back in the bag? Not quite. It should dry faster than a heavy, water-holding mesh, but give it a rinse and air it properly whenever you can. The nylon stink sleeve helps contain the damp net during the journey home.
Is the folding frame reliable for normal coarse fishing? The reinforced spreader block and aluminium frame are designed for regular landing-net use. As with any folding net, keep the joints clean, avoid forcing the frame and make sure it’s fully opened before you bring a fish over the cord.
