Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile lure anglers. The folding design, hanging clip and long handle suit roving sessions where you’re covering plenty of bank.
- Pike and larger-predator anglers. The 70cm net and shaped arms give you a decent opening when a better fish is ready to come in.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers targeting tiny perch in tight urban swims. The full-size frame may be more net than you need when space and fish size are both limited.
- Anyone wanting the smallest possible carry system. It folds, but a 2.4m predator net still takes up more room than a compact short-handled option.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Warrior 2 Net
A landing net can look like a boring bit of kit right up until a proper predator is wallowing beside the bank. Then it suddenly becomes the most important thing in your hand. The Fox Rage Warrior 2 Net is built for that exact moment, with a long handle, a wide opening and predator-friendly rubberised mesh.
This is the 2.4m version, with a 70cm net diameter. That’s a useful combination for lure anglers who spend the day on the move and don’t always know what sort of bank they’ll be landing from. High towpaths, steep canal edges and awkward river swims all become a bit less stressful when you’ve got extra reach.
The handle is the headline feature. At full extension, 2.4m gives you a much better chance of getting the net under a fish without leaning too far over the edge or doing a daft balancing act. You’ll still need to get your feet sorted and guide the fish properly, mind. No landing net magically fixes a bad position.
The 70cm frame is another big tick for predator work. It gives a decent opening for a pike, zander or chunky perch, rather than forcing you to be overly precise with the scoop. The shaped arms are designed to create a larger netting area too, so there’s more room for the fish once it’s in the bag.
Then there’s the rubberised mesh. For lure anglers, this is proper handy stuff. It helps protect the fish, while also reducing the chance of your lure and treble hooks becoming welded into the net. That can turn a frantic landing into a much calmer unhooking job, especially when a pike is rolling about and the lure’s still in the scissors.
It’s also an easy-fold design, which matters when you’re hopping between spots. Predator fishing is often about covering water, not sitting still with the kettle on. A net that can be folded down and clipped on while you move is much easier to live with than one that’s forever catching on brambles, railings or your jacket.
The included clip is a small touch, but a useful one. Hang the net where you can grab it quickly, rather than leaving it on the ground or wedged behind your rucksack. When you get a screaming take from the far margin, you want the net to be part of the plan, not buried under spare lures and a packet of jig heads.
The matt-black premium finish gives it a smart, understated look. More importantly, the overall build is aimed at being robust enough for regular mobile lure fishing. This isn’t a delicate little perch net; it’s made for anglers who want a proper landing tool ready for a surprise lump.
There are limits, naturally. A 2.4m net with a 70cm frame won’t disappear into a tiny bag, and it can feel like overkill if you’re only flicking for small perch in cramped urban swims. But for general predator work, especially where banks are awkward or fish might be bigger than expected, the reach and room make plenty of sense.
The main thing is to use it properly. Keep the net assembled or clipped somewhere accessible, lead the fish head-first, and avoid chasing it around the margins with the frame. Once the fish is safely in, keep it low and support it during unhooking. Do that and the Warrior 2 gives you a very sensible landing setup for lure fishing, without loads of unnecessary faff.

Our take
The angle
This is all about making landing a big predator less dramatic. The long handle gives you useful reach, while the wide, shaped frame and rubberised mesh are built around fish care and fewer hook-related headaches.
The kit
A wide, long-reach net for predators
The Fox Rage Warrior 2 combines a 2.4m extendable handle with a 70cm net diameter. The shaped arms help provide a larger netting area, giving you a generous opening when a fish is ready to come in. That extra room is especially useful when you’re dealing with a lively pike or a decent river predator close to the edge.
Its rubberised mesh is aimed squarely at lure anglers. It helps protect fish and reduces the amount of snagging from lures and treble hooks. You’ll still want to keep your landing routine tidy, but the mesh should make the unhooking stage less of a tangled-up palaver.
The net has an easy-fold construction and a clip for hanging it while moving. That suits a roving approach: clip it on, walk to the next feature and keep your hands free for the rod and lure box. The matt-black finish also gives it a clean, premium look.
Worth knowing. The 2.4m reach is a genuine advantage on high or awkward banks, but it doesn’t mean you should stretch dangerously over the water. Get your stance sorted first, and use the net to guide the fish rather than chase it.
On the bank
Best for anglers who keep moving
This net makes most sense for mobile lure fishing. If you’re walking a canal, working a river or covering a reservoir edge, the clip and foldable design help keep the carry manageable. It’s ready for a proper fish without turning every move between swims into a full kit shuffle.
It’ll also suit predator anglers fishing steep banks or spots where the water sits well below your feet. A long handle gives you options, particularly when a fish comes in under the near margin and you need to reach down without making a meal of the landing.
Worth knowing. For tiny perch in tight urban swims, this may be more net than necessary. If every inch of carry space matters, a smaller option could be less of a faff. But if a surprise lump is always on the cards, the extra room is reassuring.
Common questions
What you need to know before buying
Does it protect fish? The rubberised mesh is designed to help protect fish, making it a more suitable choice for catch-and-release predator fishing than a rough, traditional mesh. As ever, keep handling quick, wet your hands and have the unhooking gear ready.
Will it cope with lure snags? The rubberised mesh reduces the chance of lures and treble hooks catching in the net. That doesn’t make snags impossible, so keep the fish controlled and avoid waving the net around once the lure is inside it.
Is it easy to carry? It folds and comes with a clip for hanging while you move. The full-size 70cm frame and 2.4m handle still mean it’s a proper predator net, rather than a pocket-sized perch net, but the design keeps the day-to-day faff down.
Worth knowing. Store the net where you can reach it quickly, not buried at the bottom of a bag. A good landing net only earns its keep when it’s ready before the fish is doing its best impression of a torpedo.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Long 2.4m reach is handy from high, snaggy or awkward banks.
- Rubberised mesh is kinder to fish and less likely to grab treble hooks.
- Folds away and has a clip, making it more practical for roving lure sessions.
- The 70cm frame gives you proper room for a decent predator.
Worth knowing
- The larger frame and long handle won’t be as neat to carry as a compact street-fishing net.
- A big landing net can feel like overkill for small perch and short-range work.
- The extra reach is useful, but it still needs sensible positioning and a bit of room to deploy.
