Extendable Professional Dipping Net (First section)
The extendable dipping net uses the same frame and net as our standard large professional dipping net, but the handle can be created in almost any length by adding removable sections. This means you can have a really long net for specific purposes, but still reduce it down small enough to fit in the boot of the car.
The net bag is 2-3mm which is ideal for GCN and other amphibian surveys. A 1mm net bag for inverterbrate sampling can be purchased separately.
The product listed here is just the first section which includes the frame, net and short section of handle. The additional sections shown in the images are for information only and should be purchased separately.
