Ranger Hooligan Net 22x20 16.5' Mono w/ 3pc Telescopic Handle

Ranger Hooligan Net 22x20 16.5' Mono w/ 3pc Telescopic Handle

Why you need this:

When hooligan season kicks off in Alaska, sometimes the fish are right at your boots… and sometimes they’re frustratingly just beyond reach. The Ranger 18018M Hooligan Net helps close that gap with a massive 16.5 ft overall reach and a durable three-piece telescopic handle setup designed for shoreline dipping and baitfish harvesting.

The mono netting helps reduce water resistance while making the net easier to maneuver in current compared to heavier mesh styles. Combined with the oversized 22" x 20" hoop, this setup is ideal for anglers looking to maximize coverage during busy hooligan and smelt runs.

What’s this good for?

An excellent choice for Alaska baitfish harvesting and shoreline dipping including:

• Hooligan (eulachon) dipping
• Smelt runs
• Baitfish collection
• Riverbank dipping
• Dock and shoreline netting
• Spring hooligan season
• Family fishing outings

What can we say?

Hooligan season in Alaska has a funny way of turning otherwise reasonable adults into people sprinting down muddy riverbanks carrying buckets at six in the morning. We respect it.

Why we love this one:

That extra-long reach is the real game changer here. It helps you reach schools farther from shore while keeping you from having to lean halfway into freezing water trying to scoop fish. The mono netting also moves through current more cleanly than heavier mesh setups.

Features:

• Oversized 22" x 20" hoop
• Mono net design for reduced drag
• 16.5 ft extended reach
• Three-piece telescopic handle
• Lightweight maneuverability
• Great for hooligan and smelt runs
• Designed for shoreline and riverbank dipping

• Net Type: Mono net
• Hoop Size: 22" x 20"

How to use?

Extend the telescopic handle sections to your preferred length and dip through active schools during hooligan or smelt runs. Mono netting works especially well in moving water where reducing drag helps improve control and maneuverability. Always rinse with fresh water after use, especially after fishing silty or saltwater environments.
