YakAttack Leverage Landing Net: Pros, Cons & Full Review

If you fish by yourself a lot, you've probably noticed that it can be tricky sometimes to use a landing net to land fish.
You've got the rod with a fish on in one hand, and a big net in the other, and it can get a little hairy if you're not careful.
In hopes of solving the problem of using nets one-handed, YakAttack came out with the Leverage Landing Net.
It's a net that has a cupped piece to make it easier to use with one arm and in this video, I'm going to share my thoughts on it.
There a lot of things to like about it, but it's not perfect, so I'll share both the pros and cons.
You'll learn:
- whether or not it can handle large fish
- how the design makes it useful for anglers to land fish by themselves
- how much it costs
- what to watch out for when using this net
- and much more
Also, we're not sponsored by YakAttack or any other company, so you can be sure this review is 100% unbiased.
Have you used this net before?

I’ve been using mine for a couple of months and it’s been great. I’ve seen some wrap a piece of pool noodle around the shaft. I used spray foam in the handle, floats like a bobber now. 👍🏼

[@Teango]

Could you please explain what did you do to get the spray foam in the handle? I would really like to try that method.

[@thelizardshaman7004]

@@Teango it's in an can that has a little straw that the foam comes out

I own the 12 X20 and it is the best net I ever owned! No regrets. I use it for Blue Crabbing and fishing from my Kayak. Money well spent in my book.
Nice video!

[@markciminelli5457]

Nice to find an unbiased review of this net! Thanks!

I’ve had mine for almost 4 yrs and love it. Foam extension version fits in a rod holder perfectly.

[@davidwolf7351]

Been using the foam extension version for over a year and it has worked great. It Is well built and shows no signs of giving up the ghost. I like the spray foam idea noted below to add floatation. I bought a second one for my wife and she likes it too.

I’ve had this net for a couple of seasons. It’s great from the kayak ... the extra leverage makes landing a fish very easy. It’s very well made. But it’s big and the bend/arm brace create challenges for where you can lay it down. I tend to keep it in a rear rod holder. I have the same feeling about this net as my fly fishing net ... nice when you need one but a PITA the rest of the time.

[@daghow1]

I agree with you on the price point issue Tony. Is there any way that you can possibly drill a hole into the handle and spray a foam into it? I think at it’s price point this should have been done, however if I am going to spend $80+ on the product I don’t want it to sink into Davey Jones locker either!

[@jelly_fishing]

Nice video. Saw when you closed it up was unsure how easy it would be to store since the endpoint of the closed net is not a pole?

[@MartinMartinez]

Review the Frabill trophy haul bearclaw. That landing net looks solid

[@crazykajun914]

I definitely need a net

[@Mr._L30.]

Seen it on LoJo’s channel. They are cool.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Good review. I'm mostly fishing for table fish so this looks way too big. Thoughts?

[@Saltstrong]

[@AlanMolstad]

[@johnsamothrakis4621]
