"Well made."

If you want a actual bait net it's twice the amount of money. A larger net would make it tough to get junk out of the small spaces. I usually use small Shad so it works perfect. Very pleased with the quality materials. Way better than having to go to the store to buy only one at the same price. I can easily clean out all the debris and just add a little water when needed. I didn't think she would even notice them, but she also likes to play with them.

"Works great!"

I wanted one to clean an outside solar fountain. Exactly what I needed for my 5 gallon vertical tank that contains 5 male guppies. If your using anything over 4-5 inches might want to look into a actual bait net. But it should be shipped in something that will protect it better. Our tank is small, so this was perfect for maneuvering in the tight space. At least it has a decent depth to hold fish vertically. These nets work great and I have only needed the one so far.
