A.E.S. – Bags and Hoops – Aquatic Nets – Australian Made
A complete net consists of a handle, hoop and bag. Below are the individual aquatic net bags and hoops that are available.
Please note that we also have complete aquatic nets packages available. These popular net packages consist of commonly requested combinations, which may be helpful if the list below is overwhelming or confusing.
Construction
The handles and hoops are constructed from aluminium tubing. They are lightweight and strong and will hold up to standard work procedure. All hoops, handle and nets are Australian made.
The bags are manufactured from either polyester, polyganza or micron mesh plankton material.
To obtain a complete net one must choose the required hoop and bag that matches with each other (e.g. the 456mm hoop with the 456mm bag), plus a handle to suit.
All of the handles (with the exception of E24) are of one fixed length (e.g. E25 is 119cm).
The E24 handle is a collapsible handle. The extended length of this handle is also 119cm but it collapses down to a length of 73cm.
An optional extra for the handles is either the E560 or E561 aluminium extension. These extensions will fit all handles. You can use multiple number of extensions to all handles.
