Keeping your baitfish fresh, highly active, and in pristine structural condition is the secret weapon of any successful predator angler. The Kinetic Floating Keep Net is a highly innovative, dual-purpose containment system engineered to perform flawlessly whether you are deployed on a steep bankside or fishing from a drifting boat.
The standout feature of this net is its integrated, high-buoyancy flotation ring built directly into the collar. Unlike traditional nets that sink or collapse under heavy currents and shifting waves, this system stays pinned perfectly at the water surfaceeven when loaded with a substantial capacity of live bait. Measuring a generous 50cm in diameter with a deep 110cm mesh drop, it provides a spacious, highly oxygenated underwater sanctuary that keeps your localized bait supply swimming naturally and completely free from stress all day long.
Design: High-buoyancy floating collar assembly
Diameter: 50cm
Depth / Length: 110cm
Mesh Type: Soft, fish-friendly, high-flow water exchange mesh
Application: Live bait fish storage, boat fishing, and bankside predator angling
Portability: Collapsible rings for flat, low-profile packing
Offshore and Estuary Boat Drifting: The prime application for boat anglers. Simply tether the floating net to your vessels gunwale or cleat. The integrated floatation ring ensures the net rides the choppy swell and boat wakes smoothly without dragging or crushing your bait against the hull.
Bankside Live-Baiting Sessions: Perfect for pinning next to your river or stillwater station. The deep 110cm drop allows your baitfish to descend into cooler, more stable thermal layers of water during hot summer days, maximizing their longevity.
Mobile Predator Scouting: An exceptional tool for pike, perch, or saltwater bass anglers who need a central, highly secure holding station for their caught bait while focusing on casting.
Pro Tip from the Gerrys Fishing Team
When tethering your Kinetic Floating Net to the side of a boat or a bankside bankstick in heavy tidal rivers, always attach your securing cord to the net using a quick-release locking carabiner or a reliable marine knot like a round turn and two half-hitches.
Because this net features a deep 110cm mesh column, a heavy river current or tidal race can create substantial hydrodynamic drag against the mesh. To prevent your baitfish from being pushed together and exhausted by the current at the bottom of the net, drop a very light, smooth 2oz lead weight inside the bottom ring. This light weight tethers the bottom floor down vertically against the flow, keeping the cylinder perfectly open and maximizing the swimming area so your baits stay in peak, hard-slimming condition.
Will the net collapse if a large wave or boat wake hits it?
No. The heavy-duty flotation collar is packed with premium, low-density buoyant foam that naturally forces the mouth of the net back to the surface instantly. It is engineered to maintain its shape and buoyancy profile even under a heavy load of bait or in turbulent water conditions.
Is the mesh safe for delicate scales on fish like herring or roach?
Yes, absolutely. Kinetic has manufactured this net using an ultra-soft, fine-gauge, fish-friendly mesh fabric. It allows for a rapid, continuous exchange of fresh, oxygenated water while preventing the baitfish from damaging their noses, fins, or stripping their protective slime layers against the mesh.
How does the net pack down for transport?
The net utilizes a traditional, highly flexible internal spring-ring chassis. This allows the entire 110cm length to collapse completely flat into a neat, low-profile disc that takes up virtually zero space in your carryall, barrow bag, or boat locker.
Can this net be used in saltwater environments?
Yes. All components, including the internal rings and mesh stitching, are fully treated to withstand the corrosive nature of marine environments. For absolute optimum longevity, we always recommend giving the net a quick rinse in fresh water at the end of your saltwater trips to prevent salt crystallization.
