Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile lure anglers. The folding design and clip make it easier to carry as you move between swims and cover water.
- Pike and general predator anglers. The 60cm opening and 2.1m reach offer a useful middle ground for normal predator fishing.
Maybe skip if
- Dedicated big-pike specialists. A larger 70cm net may give more confidence when the target is consistently serious lumps.
- Ultra-light roving anglers. Even a folding predator net takes up more room than a tiny perch or trout-style net.

- 60cm net diameter, making this the medium Warrior model.

Quick verdict
A cracking all-round predator net
The Fox Rage Warrior Medium Predator Net gets the important stuff right: a 60cm opening, rubberised mesh, shaped arms and a handle that extends to 2.1m. That gives lure anglers a capable landing net for pike, zander and other bigger predators without turning every fish fight into a wrestling match.
It’s not the smallest net for roving light, and the medium size won’t suit every monster-pike specialist. For general predator fishing, though, it looks a bob-on balance of reach, fish care and easy handling.

It offers the features most predator anglers actually need, though big-fish specialists may need to spend more on a larger net.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Warrior Medium Predator Net
A decent landing net is one of those bits of predator kit you don’t really think about until a proper fish rolls at your feet. Then, suddenly, it’s the most important thing in the world. The Fox Rage Warrior Medium Predator Net is built for exactly that moment, giving lure anglers a sensible all-rounder with a 60cm opening and a handle that reaches 2.1m.
That puts it slap bang in the middle of the Warrior range. There’s a smaller 50cm version and a bigger 70cm model, but this medium option should suit a lot of everyday pike and general predator fishing. It’s big enough to deal with a decent fish, without automatically feeling like you’re lugging a monster boat net around every swim.
The first thing that stands out is the rubberised mesh. For predator work, that’s a much more sensible choice than a rough, narrow mesh that grabs every treble hook going. Rubberised material is kinder to fish and is designed to reduce lure hooking, which means less faff when a pike is thrashing and your lure is already somewhere near the net.
That doesn’t mean you can just bosh the fish in and forget about it, mind. A pike still needs proper support, wet hands and sensible unhooking gear ready to go. The net simply gives you a more fish-friendly place to get things under control before you deal with the lure and move on to the important bit: getting the fish back safely.
The shaped arms are another useful touch. They provide a larger netting area, so the 60cm figure doesn’t tell the whole story about how much room you’ve got when the net is open. That extra shape can make a difference when a fish isn’t playing ball and decides to slide in sideways, or when you’re trying to net from a high, snaggy margin.
Then there’s the reach. A maximum handle extension of 2.1m gives you a decent chance of reaching down to the water from high banks, steep edges and awkward canal swims. It’s also handy when you’re fishing alone and need a bit more control over where the net goes. Nobody wants to be doing a one-legged balancing act while a stunner is sulking in the edge.
The easy-fold construction should appeal to roving anglers, too. Predator fishing often means walking, casting, moving, repeating. A net that folds down rather than staying permanently open is simply less of a nuisance between swims. The included clip lets you hang it while moving, which is a small detail but a proper handy one when your hands are already full of rod, lure box and unhooking kit.
The matt black premium finish gives it a smart look, while the robust construction suggests it’s made for regular use rather than occasional fair-weather wanders. There’s no confirmed weight figure here, so it’s not sensible to pretend this is feather-light. The key point is that the foldable format and carry clip should help keep the whole setup manageable on the move.
On the bank, the best way to use a net like this is to have it ready before the bite-time starts. Set the handle to suit the swim, keep the mesh wet, and position yourself so you’re not trying to reach through weed or around a snag at the last second. With the rods off and a fish ready to come in, the 60cm Warrior should offer a reassuringly forgiving target.
Overall, this looks like a cracking middle-ground predator net. The 60cm size covers a wide range of lure fishing, the 2.1m reach adds versatility, and the rubberised mesh tackles the two big concerns: fish care and lure tangles. If your fishing is mostly mobile pike and general predator work, it’s a very sensible bit of kit to have clipped on and ready.

Our take
Why this net makes sense for lure fishing
The real selling point here is the combination of a fish-friendly rubberised mesh and an easy-fold design. You get a proper landing net rather than a tiny perch scoop, but it should still be manageable when you’re walking pegs and covering water.
The shaped arms increase the usable netting area, while the design aims to reduce lures hooking into the mesh. That matters when a treble or two is buried in a lively pike’s mouth and you’re trying to keep everything calm at the side of the water.
The kit
A practical predator net without the faff
The Warrior Medium uses a 60cm net diameter with a handle extending to 2.1m. That’s a useful combination for canals, reservoirs, rivers and high-sided pegs where a short net can leave you stretching at exactly the wrong moment.
Its rubberised mesh is aimed at better fish care and reduced lure hooking. The shaped arms also create a larger netting area, giving a fish a bit more room to settle once it’s in.
The easy-fold build makes it more practical for anglers who keep moving. There’s also a clip for hanging it while walking, so it doesn’t have to swing around your knees or get caught up with the rest of your gear.
Worth knowing. The 60cm version is the medium Warrior model. If your usual target is a seriously big pike, compare it with the 70cm option before buying. For general predator fishing, the medium size is the more versatile compromise.
On the bank
Built for mobile lure anglers
This net makes most sense for lure anglers who cover water and need something that can be carried between swims. The folding construction and hanging clip keep it from becoming a constant nuisance while you’re searching for a bite.
The 2.1m reach is useful from high banks, steep margins and awkward urban spots. Before you start casting, set up the net so you know how it opens and where the handle locks. That little bit of prep can save a proper panic when a fish finally turns up.
It’s also a good fit for anglers targeting a mixed bag of predators. Pike are the obvious match, but the generous opening and rubberised mesh make it a sensible choice when zander, perch or other decent fish could show.
Worth knowing. Keep forceps, an unhooking mat or suitable fish-care gear close by. A good net helps you land the fish, but safe unhooking still depends on having the rest of the predator setup ready.
Quick answers
What you need to know before buying
Is 60cm enough for pike? For everyday pike fishing, it offers a useful amount of room and is a reasonable middle-ground size. If you specifically target very large fish or fish waters known for big pike, the 70cm Warrior may give you more breathing space.
Will the mesh snag lures? The rubberised mesh and design are intended to reduce lure hooking compared with a more traditional mesh. No net can make trebles magically harmless, so keep the fish calm and remove the lure carefully.
Is the handle long enough for awkward swims? It extends to a maximum of 2.1m, which should cover plenty of bankside situations. Your exact reach will still depend on the peg, water level and how safely you can position yourself.
Worth knowing. The Warrior range comes in 50cm, 60cm and 70cm sizes. The medium NLN021 sits between the compact roving option and the larger specialist choice.
