GEAR KEEPER LOCKING NET RETRACTOR

Enjoy full, unrestricted reach when landing fish and never worry about losing your net down-river again with the Gear Aid Landing Net Retractor. This Standard Force model is perfectly calibrated to hold mid-sized wading nets weighing up to 12 ounces flat against your back. Its smooth, high-extension cord allows you to reach out completely to scoop a fish without any resistance, and the moment you let go, it automatically zips the net back up out of the way. Built for rugged outdoor environments, this retractor features an integrated locking mechanism that manually clicks into place to hold your net tightly against your pack or vest, keeping it from snagging or dragging while hiking through dense backcountry brush.

• Rocky Mountain Willow-Bashing & Backcountry Access: Accessing premium trout water in Wyoming—like the tight canyons of the Encampment River or the creek systems in the Bridger-Teton National Forest—frequently requires hiking through thick, dense stands of willows and mountain brush. Standard magnetic net releases can easily get bumped loose, dropping your expensive net on the trail without you noticing. The Gear Aid Retractor solves this with its mechanical slide lock, which tightly freezes the retractor cord in place. This anchors your net completely flat to your pack for a snag-free hike, allowing you to easily unlock it with one hand the moment you step into the river.
