Reach and Land Fish Alongside Your Boat with More Control
When a fish is beside the boat but still out of comfortable reach, a longer landing net can make the final moments of the fight easier to manage. The Broken Twig Extra Long Full Strength Landing Net – True Stick combines an extended carbon fiber handle, a large rubber basket, and a recycled True hockey stick design for anglers who want additional reach when landing fish.
Built for Extended Reach and Practical Fish Handling
- ✅ Extended 40-inch handle provides additional reach when guiding fish into the net from a boat or elevated fishing position.
- ✅ Large, deep rubber basket provides room to receive and contain fish during the landing process.
- ✅ Lightweight carbon fiber handle makes the extended-length design easier to maneuver without relying on a conventional heavy handle.
- ✅ Floating construction helps keep the landing net at the surface if it is accidentally dropped into the water.
- ✅ Powder-coated aluminum hoop provides the basket with a rigid supporting frame.
- ✅ Recycled True hockey stick construction gives a broken stick a second purpose as functional fishing equipment.
- ✅ Integrated hockey puck and one-piece rubber butt end complete the distinctive Broken Twig handle design.
PLEASE NOTE — RECYCLED HOCKEY STICK: Paint chips and other cosmetic flaws are a normal part of a hockey stick and do not affect performance.

Real-World Performance
When a hooked fish makes its final run beside the boat, the extended handle lets the angler position the hoop farther from the gunwale without reaching as far over the side. Guide the fish toward the opening, bring the rubber basket underneath it, and lift once the fish is contained. The deep basket provides room to manage the fish after the scoop.

Make the True Stick Extra Long Full Strength your go-to net when your fishing setup calls for a larger basket and additional reach at the end of the fight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Extra Long and standard Full Strength landing nets?
The Extra Long version is designed for anglers who want an extended handle. This True Stick model has a 40-inch handle; compare the published dimensions of the standard Full Strength model when deciding which length best fits your boat and landing position.
Is the True Stick landing net made from an actual hockey stick?
Yes. Broken Twig manufactures this landing net using a recycled broken True hockey stick, giving the original hockey equipment a new purpose as a fishing net handle.
Can this landing net be used from a fishing kayak?
It can be considered for kayak fishing where additional landing reach is useful, but the 40-inch handle and large hoop require adequate room to maneuver and store the net. Check the available space and your preferred landing position before choosing this size.
Will scratches or paint chips on the hockey stick affect the net?
Broken Twig states that paint chips and other cosmetic imperfections are normal characteristics of recycled hockey sticks and do not affect product performance. The appearance of individual handles may vary.
Does the Extra Long Full Strength True Stick net float?
Yes. Broken Twig specifically identifies floating construction as a feature of this model, which is useful if the net is accidentally dropped overboard.
