Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Match anglers and commercials regulars. It gives you a quick, tidy way to position a keepnet when you’re moving between swims or setting up in a hurry.
- Anglers wanting a simple box-leg fitting. The clasp and hand-wheel keep the fitting straightforward, with less fiddling than a more complicated permanent arrangement.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers with a non-compatible keepnet setup. The arm provides the fixing point, but your net and seatbox arrangement still need to work with it.
- Anyone wanting a complete keepnet system in one pack. This is supplied as one arm, not a full keepnet or a box-load of extra mounting hardware.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Maver Quick Lock - MV-R Keepnet Arm
Keepnet fittings aren’t exactly the glamorous end of fishing tackle. Nobody’s stood on the bank dreaming about a new clamp. But when your net is sitting just where you want it, the mouth is clear, and there’s no wobble every time a fish goes in, you soon remember why the little bits matter. The Maver Quick Lock MV-R Keepnet Arm is built for precisely that job.
This is a straightforward keepnet arm with Maver’s QUICK LOCK fitting. It attaches around a suitable leg, giving you a solid fixing point for your net. No big song and dance. No need to turn your seatbox into a science project. It’s a practical accessory for getting your keepnet positioned neatly beside you, whether you’re fishing a commercial, a canal or a busy match lake.
The main feature is the horizontal hinge clasp. Open it around the leg, bring it back together, and use the push-latch to secure the fitting. That design should feel far more convenient than wrestling a closed clamp over the top of a leg or taking half your box apart just to move a fitting. When bite-time arrives, less faff is always a winner.
Once the clasp is in place, the hand-wheel lets you tighten the arm. That’s the bit that helps keep things stable and restricts unwanted movement. A loose keepnet fitting can be a proper nuisance. The net swings away from the box, the mouth ends up at a daft angle, and suddenly you’re leaning across yourself to get a fish safely in. A decent nip on the hand-wheel should keep the setup behaving.
Maver says the fitting is designed to suit almost all legs in different dimensions. That makes it a useful option for anglers who don’t want to be locked into one very specific leg size. Still, don’t treat “almost all” as “absolutely everything”. Have a quick look at your seatbox or chair leg arrangement before ordering, especially if you’ve got an unusual frame, chunky leg or a non-standard accessory setup.
On the bank, the best use is simple: position the arm so the keepnet mouth is easy to reach without blocking your knees or fouling the pole section. On a commercial, that can mean keeping the net close enough for quick fish handling while leaving your working area clear. On a canal, you’ll want the net sitting securely over the edge and not twisting every time a roach or bream slides down the landing net.
It’s also handy when a swim changes during the day. Maybe the platform is awkward, the margin shelf is tighter than expected, or you’ve shifted your box a few inches to find a better line. A quick-release style fitting means you can loosen the arrangement, reposition it, and get back fishing without a full strip-down. That’s exactly the sort of small convenience that saves time across a long session.
The MV-R isn’t trying to be a do-everything accessory. It’s one arm, supplied each, with a clearly defined job. You’ll still need a suitable keepnet and a compatible setup around it. But if you’re after a neat fixing point rather than a pile of unnecessary extras, the L1404 looks bob on. At an RRP of £12.99, it sits in the sensible, affordable end of the tackle bag too.
The only real caution is to make sure the fitting is properly shut and the hand-wheel is snug before you trust it with a net full of fish. Give it a quick wiggle when setting up. If there’s movement, sort it before the first fish goes in. That tiny check can stop a lot of swearing later, particularly when you’re bagging up and the net is getting plenty of use.

Our take
The angle
This isn’t flashy tackle, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s about getting the keepnet where you want it, keeping the setup tidy and avoiding a load of fiddly faff on the bank.
The real appeal is the QUICK LOCK fitting. You open the clasp around the leg, shut the push-latch, then use the hand-wheel to tighten everything down. That should make moving swims or changing your net position much less of a palaver.
The fitting
A quick, tidy route to a stable keepnet
The MV-R uses Maver’s QUICK LOCK system, centred around a horizontal hinge clasp that sits around the leg. A push-latch secures the clasp, while the hand-wheel tightens the fitting once you’ve chosen the position. It’s a sensible arrangement for anglers who want quick adjustment without loads of faff.
The arm is supplied as one unit and provides the keepnet fixing point. That makes it an accessory rather than a complete net package. Think of it as the bit that helps your existing keepnet sit in the right place beside the box.
Worth knowing. Check the arm, leg and keepnet connection as one setup before fishing. A fitting can be secure on the leg but still leave the net sitting awkwardly if the angle or reach isn’t right.
On the bank
Best for anglers who like a tidy setup
Match anglers, commercial regulars and pleasure anglers using a seatbox or chair with a suitable leg should get the most from it. The quick clasp is useful when you’re changing swims or packing away, while the hand-wheel helps keep the net steady during a busy bite-time.
It also suits anyone replacing a tired or awkward keepnet fitting. Set the mouth where your landing net naturally comes to hand, keep it clear of your knees, and tighten the hand-wheel firmly without going daft. You want stable, not seized solid.
Worth knowing. It’s less suited to anyone expecting a complete keepnet solution in the packet. The L1404 is one arm, so check what your current net and seatbox need before adding it to the basket.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want cleared up
Does it fit every leg? Maver designs the QUICK LOCK fitting to fit almost all legs in different dimensions, but unusual or oversized arrangements can vary. Check your setup rather than assuming every leg is identical.
Will it stop all movement? The hand-wheel is there to tighten the fitting, improve stability and restrict unwanted movement. It still needs to be positioned and tightened correctly, and a quick wiggle check is good bank practice.
Is it good value? With an RRP of £12.99, it’s a reasonably priced accessory for a simple job. If you need a reliable fixing point and it matches your setup, it avoids spending a load more quid on unnecessary complication.
