Urban Anglers River Rats Net:
We are constantly finding random sporting equipment in the river. Basketballs, baseballs, bats, volleyballs, bowling balls, etc. You name it, we have found it. There must be a community center somewhere upstream that is missing everything the amount of equipment we have found made a lightbulb go off, and we are happy to offer repurposed tennis rackets as Urban Anglers USA River Rat fishing nets. Our “River Rats” are legit tennis rackets re-threaded to hold quality rubber netting. The fiberglass frames usually are only found in high price fishing nets. Using old equipment that would typically end up as trash can offer superior strength and quality at a lower price.
