Abstract
A retractable net is disclosed having a handle and a flexible band forming net hoop. A slide moves essentially from one end of the handle to the other, and contains the ends of the flexible band. A spreader assembly at the net end of the handle shapes the band as it is extended and retracted into a substantially bilaterally symmetrical configuration from a maximum opening to a minimum opening. In addition, a lock having a cam action type toggle mechanism is provided interiorly of the spreader. A paddle bag is formed to fit over the net in its small or retracted configuration thereby securing the netting from falling and sagging, and serving as a paddle for the boat in which the fisherman may be using the net in its fishing configuration.
