EGO makes some of the best fishing nets available to anglers today. I am paraphrasing here, but according to their website – about 15-years ago they came up with a mission to create the best landing nets possible and fix the performance issues most anglers were experiencing with their landing nets.
EGO released the EGO S1 Genesis fishing net line and the EGO S2 Slider Fishing net line during that time, and you can still consider these two lines of fishing nets to be the best fishing nets EGO offers – and some of the best overall landing nets you can buy!
So here they are, the best EGO fishing nets reviewed and listed for you – making it really easy for you to pick the option that is going to be best for your fishing adventures!

EGO S1 Genesis Fishing Nets
The premier fishing net line from EGO really is the EGO S1 Genesis Fishing Net line. Starting with the basics, this fishing net has an aluminum handle that is hexagonal in shape, is lightweight, and is detachable.
This detachable handle allows this fishing net to be stored easily, but there are also numerous attachments that can be bought and attached to the handle as well. These attachments include things like a deck mop, deck brush, lure retriever, gaff hook, and other things that anglers will find very valuable.
Also, these fishing nets can float…so you don’t have to worry about dropping your net overboard and never seeing it again! I can think of a time or two when this would have been very valuable.
The other great thing about this line of nets is the selection. There are numerous hoop sizes, handle sizes, and mesh materials that help create that perfect net option for your fishing trips.
Here are the S1 Genesis Small Fishing Net options which have 13-inch handles and 14″ x 16″ hoop sizes. They come in a variety of different mesh types.
| EGO Net Name | Hoop Size | Hoop Material | Net Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| EGO S1 Genesis Small Nylon Net | 14" x 16" | Nylon | 20" |
| EGO S1 Genesis Small Rubber Net | 14" x 16" | Rubber | 11" Flat Bottom |
| EGO S1 Genesis Small Clear Rubber Net | 14" x 16" | Clear Rubber | 11" Flat Bottom |
Here are the S1 Genesis Medium Fishing Net options. These nets will have 25-inch handles with a 17″ x 19″ hoop size. There are a number of different mesh choices to pick from.
| EGO Net Name With Link | Hoop Size | Net Material | Net Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 Genesis Medium Nylon Net | 17" x 19" | Nylon Mesh | 28" |
| S1 Genesis Medium Rubber Coated Nylon Net | 17" x 19" | Rubber Coated Nylon | 28" |
| S1 Genesis Medium PVC Coated Net | 17" x 19" | PVC Coated Mesh | 16" Flat Bottom |
| S1 Genesis Medium Rubber Net | 17" x 19" | Rubber | 15" Flat Bottom |
| S1 Genesis Medium Clear Rubber Net | 17" x 19" | Clear Rubber | 15" Flat Bottom |
Here are the S1 Genesis Large Fishing Net options. These nets have a 31-inch handle with a 19″ x 21″ – and they also have some great mesh material choices!
| EGO Net Name with Link | Hoop Size | Hoop Material | Net Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 Genesis Large Nylon Net | 19" x 21" | Nylon Mesh | 31" |
| S1 Genesis Large Rubber Coated Nylon Net | 19" x 21" | Rubber Coated Nylon | 31" |
| S1 Genesis Large PVC Coated Net | 19" x 21" | PVC Coated Mesh | 31" |
| S1 Genesis Large Rubber Net | 19" x 21" | Rubber | 15" Flat Bottom |
| S1 Genesis Clear Rubber Net | 19" x 21" | Clear Rubber | 11" Flat Bottom |
You can see why these nets are so good with all the special features, the ability to float, and the numerous different options to pick from. And the price is awesome as well – normally around $75 at the high end depending on the model you select. We should also mention that these fishing nets were so good that we had to include them on our list of the best overall walleye fishing nets!
EGO S2 Slider Fishing Nets
There are a lot of similarities between these EGO S2 Slider Fishing nets and the S1 net line listed above; but there are also some major differences.
For example, these fishing nets also have handles where the hoop can be disconnected for easy storage, but you also have those 30+ different accessories that can be attached to them. These nets also have an amazing selection of different mesh materials and lengths to provide you with a fishing net that will be perfect for your fishing situation. They also come with a 2-year limited warranty showing you how durable these nets are!
The big difference is going to be that these nets are a slider style net vs. a fixed handle length. With a push of a button and a pulling of the handle, these net handles will extend in length to give you that little extra reach you made need!
And don’t worry about strength. Most of these nets can handle about 30-pounds when they are fully retracted and about 20-pounds when fully extended. This will handle most species – but wouldn’t be the best choice for northern pike or musky fishing! You probably want to check out our list of the best northern pike fishing nets if you are more interested in that.
Here are your S2 Slider Compact net options with a handle length of 18-inches that will extend to 36-inches. We consider these a great crappie fishing net and you can find them on our list of the best crappie fishing nets.
| EGO Net Name | Hoop Size | Net Material | Net Depth |

| EGO S2 Slider Compact Nylon Net | 17" x 19" | Nylon | 28" |

| EGO S2 Slider Rubber Net | 17" x 19" | Rubber | 15" Flat Bottom |
| EGO S2 Slider Clear Rubber Net | 17" x 19" | Clear Rubber | 15" Flat Bottom |
If you want a reach that is a little longer, you also have the S2 Slider Medium Nets which will extend from 29″ to 60.”

| S2 Slider - Medium Rubber | 17" x 19" | 15" Flat Bottom | Rubber |

For those that need a little bigger hoop size, you have the S2 slider Large Nets that will also extend from 29″ to 60″ – but most have a larger 19″ x 21″ hoop size (there are a few with an even bigger hoop size than that). Those options are listed here:

Basically, what this means is EGO took those great fishing net lines and gave them this amazing “Kryptek” color scheme. It has a beautiful blue/camo look that blends right into the water – and if you are like my grandpa – he always thought that fish got scared when they saw the net coming at them. I’m not sure if that is true or not – but this fishing net eliminates that worry for you.
