Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile lure anglers. The light build and clip-on cord make it easy to carry while covering plenty of water.
- Catch-and-release predator anglers. The rubberised mesh and deep bag are geared towards landing and handling fish with care.
Maybe skip if
- Carp anglers. This isn’t a big carp net with a wide spreader block and long bank-stick setup.
- Anglers targeting only very large predators. The Large gives more room, but anglers chasing truly oversized fish may want a specialist extra-large predator net.

Quick verdict
A cracking net for lure anglers
The Savage Gear Pro Finezze Rubber Mesh Net keeps things simple: it’s light, floats, has a deep rubber mesh bag and clips onto your kit for wading. That’s exactly the sort of setup you want when you’re moving swims and casting lures all day.
Pick the Medium for smaller waters and general predator fishing, or step up to the Large when pike and bigger fish are the target. It’s not a carp net replacement, but for lure work it looks properly bob on.

The floating build, rubberised mesh and deep bag give it a thoughtfully put-together feel for lure fishing.
Its light construction, floating frame and deep bag are well matched to mobile bank and wading work.
It won’t catch fish for you, but it should make landing and handling predators more controlled and less stressful.
The low weight and clip-on cord make it straightforward to carry, grab and deploy when a fish is ready.
For anglers wanting a purpose-built lure net rather than a general-purpose compromise, the feature set looks strong.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Savage Gear Pro Finezze Rubber Mesh Net
A landing net can make or break a predator session. You’ve walked half a mile along the river, worked a lure through a juicy crease and finally got the rod hooped over. The fish is at your boots. That’s when you really don’t want to be wrestling with a huge, soggy net or watching one sink into the drink.
The Savage Gear Pro Finezze Rubber Mesh Net is built for that more mobile style of fishing. It’s aimed squarely at lure anglers and catch-and-release predator work, with a super-light construction that won’t have your shoulder moaning after a day of covering water. Less kit to carry means more time casting, simple as that.
Its clever bit is the floating frame and handle. Drop it while you’re wading and it should stay on the surface rather than disappearing into the depths. That doesn’t mean you can be careless, mind, but it gives you a bit more breathing space when a lively pike decides to have one last thrash at the net.
The mesh is rubberised and fish-friendly, with a deep bag. That’s a sensible combination for predator fishing. A deep net helps keep a fish contained while you sort the lure and get your hands in the right place, while rubberised mesh is generally much less of a faff around trebles than fine traditional netting.
That matters with lure fishing because hooks seem to find everything. Fingers, sleeves, net mesh — you name it. A rubber mesh bag won’t make bad unhooking practice magically safe, but it’s a much more sensible partner for hard lures, spinnerbaits and other terminal tackle carrying multiple hooks.
There are two sizes in the range. The Medium measures 40 x 50 x 50cm, while the Large comes in at 46 x 56 x 65cm. The Medium is the neat, easy-carry choice for general predator work and smaller venues. The Large gives you a bit more wriggle room when pike are the main event or the fish in your water run chunky.
The included clip-on cord is another properly useful touch. Keep the net attached to your wading belt, pack or other suitable point, then let it hang behind you while you fish. When the rods are off and a fish is ready to come in, it’s close at hand rather than three swims back on the bank.
It’s worth remembering what this net is — and what it isn’t. This is a lure-fishing net, not a carp landing net. You won’t be using it for a twenty-pound mirror in a snaggy margin. It’s about keeping things compact and manageable while stalking predators from the bank, boat or wading position.
For catch and release, the usual good habits still apply. Have your unhooking mat or suitable wet landing area ready, wet the mesh before use, and keep the fish supported while you deal with the lure. The net is there to make the process easier, not to replace careful handling.
Overall, the Savage Gear Pro Finezze Rubber Mesh Net looks like a cracking bit of kit for anglers who want a light, fish-friendly net that fits the way they actually fish. Pick the size around your target species and venue, clip it on, and get back to finding the next bite-time opportunity.

Our take
Lightweight, fish-friendly and ready for the wading game
The big selling point here is convenience. A floating frame and handle mean less panic if the net takes an accidental dip, while the rubberised mesh is kinder to fish and less likely to turn into a soggy, tangled faff than traditional netting.
The clip-on cord is a dead handy touch for wading. Keep it attached to your pack or belt, cast with the net out of the way, then have it ready when a screaming take turns into a chunky predator at your feet.
What you’re buying
A tidy net for the mobile predator angler
The Pro Finezze combines a floating frame and handle with a deep rubber mesh bag. That gives you a useful mix of security, fish care and easy carrying. It’s light enough to keep with you while moving between swims, rather than leaving it somewhere behind and hoping the next fish isn’t the one that needs it.
The rubberised mesh is particularly suited to lure fishing, where trebles can make ordinary netting a right pain. The deep bag helps contain the fish while you get organised, and the floating construction is reassuring when fishing from the bank or wading.
Worth knowing. The clip-on cord is more than a tiny extra. Attach it to suitable wading or carrying kit and the net stays close without constantly flapping around in front of your casts.
Match the net to your fishing
Choose your size around the venue and target
The Medium, at 40 x 50 x 50cm, is the compact option. It makes sense for general lure fishing, smaller rivers, canals and waters where you’re likely to meet modest-sized predators. It’s also the one to look at if keeping your loadout light is top of the list.
The Large, at 46 x 56 x 65cm, offers more room for pike and bigger fish. That extra size can make the final part of a tense landing less rushed, especially when a fish is lively or carrying a bit of weight.
Neither size is aimed at carp fishing or extreme specimen work. For those jobs, you’ll want a dedicated net with the spread, handle length and capacity to match. For lure anglers working the margins, drop-offs and river features, though, this setup is much more in its lane.
Quick answers before you buy
The useful bits, without the waffle
Does it float? Yes. The frame and handle are floating, which is handy insurance around water. You should still keep hold of your kit where possible, but a dropped net shouldn’t instantly become a lost net.
Is rubber mesh better for lures? It’s a very sensible choice. Rubberised mesh is fish-friendly and tends to be less troublesome around hooks than conventional knotted mesh. Always unhook carefully, particularly with big trebles and toothy predators.
Worth knowing. Before the first cast, sort your unhooking gear, cutters and net position. When a pike rolls at your feet, you want a smooth landing routine — not a last-minute rummage through the rucksack.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Super-light construction for mobile lure fishing.
- Floating frame and handle are reassuring around deep or fast-moving water.
- Rubberised mesh is fish-friendly and less prone to hook tangles than many standard nets.
- Clip-on cord is properly useful when wading or moving between swims.
- Two sizes cover smaller general fishing and larger predator work.
Worth knowing
- The Medium may feel restrictive when targeting bigger pike or carrying bulky fish.
- A deep rubber bag still needs sensible fish handling and shouldn’t be dragged over rough ground.
- It’s designed around lure and predator fishing, so it won’t replace a proper carp landing net.
