Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Mobile pike and zander lure anglers. The folding frame, carrying clip and long handle make it practical when you’re hopping between swims.
- Anglers fishing canals, rivers and high-sided pegs. The 2.4m reach gives you more options when the water’s below you or the margins are awkward.
Maybe skip if
- Perch anglers carrying a tiny lure bag. The Large frame and long handle may be more net than you need for smaller fish.
- Anglers wanting a fully enclosed wet-kit solution. There’s no separate storage bag specified, so you’ll need your own way of carrying or drying it.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Fox Rage Warrior Net Large looks like a very sensible choice for predator anglers. The 70cm net diameter gives you plenty of room for a decent pike or zander, while the 2.4m extending handle helps when you’re dropping into deep margins or fishing from awkward pegs.
The rubberised mesh, folding frame and hanging clip keep things simple on the bank. It’s not the lightest or smallest net around, and there’s no separate storage bag listed, but for lure fishing and mobile predator work, it’s a proper useful bit of kit.

Robust construction, shaped arms, an easy-fold frame and a smart matt black finish give it a properly purposeful feel.
The 70cm opening and 2.4m handle cover a wide range of predator swims and landing situations.
The rubberised mesh is designed to reduce lure hooking and support better fish care during landing.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Rage Warrior Net Large
If you’re roaming around with a lure rod, the last thing you want is a landing net that turns every fish into a full-blown performance. You’ve got the rod, the lure box, the unhooking gear and probably a rucksack stuffed with more soft plastics than any sane person needs. The Fox Rage Warrior Net Large is built to keep the landing bit straightforward.
This is the Large version, with a 70cm net diameter. That’s a proper useful size for predator fishing. It gives you enough room for a good pike or a broad-backed zander without making the frame so enormous that you’re wrestling it through every bit of bankside scrub. For general lure work, it’s a sensible middle ground.
The handle extends to 2.4m, which is the sort of feature you really appreciate when the fish is ready but the bank isn’t playing ball. Canal towpaths, high riverbanks, concrete edges and steep margins can all make netting a fish a bit spicy. Extra reach lets you stay in control instead of leaning out like a prat.
The shaped arms provide a larger netting area, too. That matters with pike in particular. A lively fish can look a lot bigger once it’s thrashing at the surface, and trying to scoop a decent lump into a tight little net is asking for trouble. Get the head in first, keep the net low and let the fish slide over the frame.
Fox Rage has used rubberised mesh here, which is a big plus for predator anglers. It’s intended to be kinder to fish and to reduce lure hooks catching in the netting. You’ll still need to keep the net under control around treble hooks, but anything that cuts down the usual tangle of lure, mesh and angry pike is bob on.
It also makes sense from a fish-care point of view. Pike have a protective slime coat, and a proper predator net should help you handle them calmly and quickly. Keep the mesh wet, get your unhooking gear ready before you cast and don’t leave the fish flapping on the bank while you hunt for the forceps. The net can only do its bit; the rest is down to you.
The frame has an easy-fold construction, so packing it away between swims shouldn’t become a massive faff. There’s also a clip for hanging the net while you’re moving. That’s dead handy when you’re leapfrogging along a river or canal and want the net close without carrying it by the handle all day.
The matt black premium finish gives it a smart look, while the robust construction suits the rough-and-ready side of predator fishing. This is gear for proper bank use, not something that needs wrapping in cotton wool. Just remember that the Large format is still a sizeable bit of kit, and no separate storage bag is specified. Let it dry properly after a wet session and it should stay much less grim.
Overall, the Warrior Net Large is aimed squarely at anglers who want a dependable landing net for mobile lure fishing. It’s generous, fish-friendly and long enough for awkward swims. If your usual fishing is small-perch hunting in tight urban spots, it may be a bit of a beast. For mixed predator work, though, it looks like a cracking bit of tackle that gets the important stuff right.

Our take
The angle
Predator nets need to be big enough for a chunky fish but not such a faff that you leave them in the car. The Warrior Large sits nicely in that middle ground: generous netting, a long handle and an easy-fold design for moving between swims.
Its rubberised mesh is the real talking point. It’s designed to reduce hooks catching in the net and to be kinder to the fish, which matters when a pike has already had a face full of trebles and is rolling around in the landing net.
Closer look
A big, practical net for predator work
The 70cm diameter gives the net plenty of room for pike and zander, while the shaped arms help open up the netting area. That makes scooping a fish less frantic, especially when it’s turning broadside at the edge.
The 2.4m extending handle is useful on high banks, canals and steep margins. You can keep your feet planted and guide the fish into the net rather than stretching out over the water.
Rubberised mesh is designed to be kinder to the fish and less likely to snag lure hooks. With predator fishing, that means less faffing around when you’ve got a pike attached to a lure with multiple trebles.
Worth knowing. There’s no separate storage bag specified for this model. Have a plan for carrying wet mesh, and let the net dry properly after your session.
Who it suits
Best for mobile lure anglers
This net makes most sense for anglers who move between swims and need gear that folds down without becoming a nuisance. The hanging clip is handy when you’re carrying a rod and lure bag through bankside cover.
It’s also a strong fit for venues where the bank sits above the water. The long handle gives you extra reach without needing to climb down or put yourself in a daft position for the netting shot.
For tiny perch venues, it could be more net than you need. But if pike, zander or mixed predators are on the cards, the extra opening and rubberised mesh are reassuring features.
Worth knowing. Get the unhooking mat or cradle, forceps and cutters ready before you cast. A good net makes landing safer, but preparation is what keeps a predator calm once it’s in.
FAQs in full
The bits anglers usually ask about
The Large version has a 70cm net diameter and a handle that extends to 2.4m. That combination gives you a generous landing area with useful reach for awkward swims.
The mesh is rubberised rather than standard soft netting. It’s intended to improve fish care and reduce the chance of hooks catching in the mesh, although trebles still need careful handling.
Current Warrior range listings show product code NLN022, while an older maker listing uses NLN011. If you’re matching it to a retailer listing, check the dimensions and Large designation as well as the code.
