The Brunken Bait Well Net with 18" aluminum handle is a purpose-built net for anglers who need reliable, durable equipment for catching and handling live bait. Whether you're working a bait well on a charter boat, stocking a live well, or chasing minnows and crawfish in shallow water, this net combines classic design with materials proven over decades in commercial and recreational use.
Built from 7-gauge wire and fitted with an 18-inch aluminum handle, this net strikes the balance between portability and reach. The D-shaped hoop measures 8.5 inches wide, sized to scoop efficiently without excessive bulk, while the 10-inch-deep nylon mesh (1/8" openings) retains small baitfish and crustaceans while allowing water to drain quickly. At 26 inches overall length, it's compact enough for wade fishing yet substantial enough for boat-based bait operations.
Brunken Nets are trusted by charter captains and commercial bait shops for good reason: straightforward construction, materials that stand up to saltwater and freshwater use, and a design that hasn't changed because it works. If you've ever spent a childhood afternoon netting shiners or crawdads, you likely recognize this net—it's the same workhorse tool that's been doing the job for generations.

Yes. The aluminum handle resists corrosion in saltwater environments, and the 7-gauge wire hoop and nylon mesh are suitable for both saltwater and freshwater use. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to extend service life.
The D-shaped hoop is designed to scoop efficiently along the edges of wells, shorelines, and shallow water without catching corners on the boat or bank. It's easier to maneuver in tight spaces and against vertical surfaces.
Yes. The 26-inch overall length and aluminum handle make it well-suited for reaching into live wells, bait buckets, and boat wells. The fast-draining mesh minimizes water loss when transferring bait.
