Loon Magnetic Net Release

Keep your landing net completely secure, out of the way, and ready to deploy at a moment's notice with the Loon Magnetic Net Release, available now at the Ugly Bug Fly Shop! Precision-engineered to eliminate the frustration of dropping or losing your net on the river trail, this technical wading accessory has been completely upgraded with premium, ultra-strong magnets that lock together with absolute authority. To maximize your rigging versatility, Loon integrated a heavy-duty hook-and-loop strap that gives you the option to anchor your net by the top hoop rather than the handle—keeping the handle oriented downward for a faster, more natural draw when a trophy fish surfaces. The entire kit features completely reworked, heavy-duty clips, a durable high-stretch bungee tether cord, and split rings that anchor flawlessly to any technical wading vest, sling pack, or wading belt.

Bank-wading through the high-volume current and scrambling over slippery granite gravel bars along the Miracle Mile and Grey Reef stretches of the North Platte River right here in Casper places massive physical strain on your gear. Flimsy competitor magnets will easily give way when your net catches on dense willow brush or river reeds, sending your expensive landing net floating down the river. Local guides rely heavily on the Loon Magnetic Net Release because those upgraded, high-strength magnets refuse to release until you give them a firm, intentional downward tug. Utilize the heavy-duty hook-and-loop strap to mount the magnet to the top of your net hoop, and clip the split ring to the upper D-ring of your Simms Access Tech Fishing Belt or technical pack. This keeps the handle pointing down at your hip, allowing you to instantly clear line tangles and net a wild, hard-running 24-inch tailwater rainbow single-handedly.
