If you want the largest, most versatile, collapsible travel snake hook configuration on the market, the Ultimate Expedition Model uses your choice of either the Neewer 23-66.5" Camera Monopod or the Manbily 22-65” Hiking Pole as the multi-functional mount.
Compact enough for a carry-on or putting in a hiking pack, yet capable of extending into a full-sized field hook, these poles also function as sturdy camera monopods and adjustable hiking poles. Both models lock securely at nearly any length within their range, giving you precise control and confidence in the field. When purchased through us, each mount also includes an upgraded hook-to-pole interface piece for improved durability and functionality.
Compact. Versatile. Durable. With a Wandering Hook atop the one of these premium Hiking Monopods, you’re not just carrying a snake hook — you’re carrying the best large travel hook currently available.

Lightweight, modular, and field-ready, the Wandering Net is a compact net system designed for explorers, herpetologists, and field photographers who value versatility on the go. It connects to any pole or handle with a ¼"-20 threaded adapter—the same universal mount used by most camera systems—making it easy to swap between your camera gear and field tools without missing a beat.
The Wandering Net - Bug Edition is built for modularity in a range of field situations, allowing for bringing a sturdy bug net along while taking up minimal packing space.
The Wandering Net pairs perfectly with the Wandering Hook, creating a stable 90-degree offset setup that makes scooping and collecting easier in tight or awkward spaces. It is compatible with a variety of poles the 7–19" XSories Pivot-Top Pole, which is our recommended mount for this particular net. For extra reach and flexibility, the XSories mount can be combined with other compatible extensions.
Each Wandering Net is handcrafted in the USA by our veteran-owned & operated two-person team. Compact, durable, and travel-friendly, it’s an excellent option for those traveling without checked baggage who want a discreet, reliable net for fieldwork or spontaneous exploration.
If you would like a specific color net or pole, please reach out and we'll let you know if we have one in stock. If the custom color you would like is not in stock, we can make you a custom order, however the cost increases as we'll have to do a rush order to craft it, and the processing time will increase as well due to component purchase time.

What People Are Saying
“I can’t say enough good things about this hook. I like that you can take the hook part off and use it as a hiking stick and then put the hook back on when you need it. It’s lightweight and sturdy. The company was very helpful sending me private messages helping me decide which one to go with. I highly recommend.”
— Marissa, Arizona“This hook setup is amazing! I've used it for three months now with a variety of species, including elapids, vipers, and colubrids. It is very sturdy and sizes up and down very easily and quite reliably. I've had no issues, and I've found I like this far more than any of the hooks I've used in the past. Furthermore, the shop owner is great! He helped me choose the best setup for my situation and was always kind throughout the process. If I ever had to get another hook, I can safely say it would be from Wandering Scales. The prices, quality, features, and customer service experience really set it apart, and I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you so much!”
