When you’re feeding hay off the flatbed, the last thing you want is net wrap flying down the road. That’s why we built the Catch All net sack — a rugged, rubber-coated solution that keeps hay bale netting and feed sacks secure during transport. No more plastic mess in the ditch. No more wasted time. Just simple, smart gear designed for real-life ranching.
In this post, we’ll break down what a net sack is, why it matters, and how the Catch All helps ranchers stay cleaner, safer, and more efficient. If you’ve ever wrestled with feed wrap in 30mph wind, this one’s for you.
What Is a Net Sack?
A net sack is a heavy-duty mesh bag mounted to the side of your flatbed truck, feed wagon, or cake feeder. It’s made to catch hay bale netting, twine, plastic feed sacks, and other debris you generate while feeding cattle. Think of it as a catch-all for everything that usually ends up tangled in your axle or blowing across the pasture.
Not all net sacks are created equal. Many folks have rigged up DIY versions with wire baskets, tarp straps, or even trash cans. But those break, fall off, or don’t hold enough. The Catch All net sack was designed by real ranchers who knew there had to be a better way.
It features woven nylon netting with a rubber coating for durability, strong magnets for no-drill installation, and a low-profile design that fits most cake boxes and flatbeds. Assembled in the U.S., it’s made to handle rough roads and tough conditions.
Why Does a Net Sack Matter?
It might seem like a small thing, but keeping hay bale netting secure is a big deal on the ranch. Loose net wrap isn’t just messy — it can be dangerous. Stray plastic can wrap around your axle or driveline, blow into fence lines or waterways, litter the neighbor’s property, harm livestock if ingested, or even cause accidents on rural roads.
Aside from the safety and cleanup concerns, there’s also a question of efficiency. Every minute spent chasing down net wrap is a minute not spent getting real work done. When you’re feeding in the dark, in the wind, or on a tight schedule, having a reliable way to contain your waste matters. It’s one of those things that seems small until you don’t have it.
The Catch All doesn’t stop at netting either. You can use it for empty mineral sacks, feed bags, calf blankets, cattle prods, or rope and tools. It’s one of those flatbed accessories you’ll end up using for more than you thought. Many customers have even said it becomes a go-to spot for miscellaneous tools or supplies during calving or fencing season.
Built to Withstand Ranch Life
We didn’t just guess at what would work. We tested it in the field. From cold mornings in Oklahoma to dusty days in Texas, the Catch All is built to last.
The net is made of woven nylon with a rubber coating, so it won’t fray or rot like rope or bungee cords. It’s UV-resistant and flexible enough to stuff with all kinds of materials. Three powerful magnets hold it firm on steel cake boxes and flatbed rails, with no drilling or extra hardware needed. It’s easy to move, remove, or clean, and it stays put even on rough terrain.
While not 100% American-made like our gauge wheels, the Catch All is assembled here in the States and reflects the same values: practicality, quality, and field-tested performance.
This isn’t a gimmick or a gadget. It’s a tough, no-nonsense solution to a problem every rancher has dealt with at some point. Whether you’re on paved roads or pasture trails, you can trust it to hold up and keep your truck clean.
Installation: Simple, Secure, and Fast
Installing the Catch All takes less than five minutes. Just unpack and unroll the net sack, line it up along your flatbed, cake feeder, or feed truck, and place the magnets. You can start stuffing net wrap after your first bale. There are no tools or clamps needed, and it stays put even at 70 mph on a gravel road.
This kind of plug-and-play install makes it perfect for seasonal setups or part-time rigs. Don’t want it on all year? Pop it off and hang it in the barn. Need to move it between trucks? Easy. The magnets are strong enough to hold firm, but forgiving enough to let you reposition if needed.
It’s the kind of tool you install once and never think about again — until you realize just how much time and hassle it’s saved.
Where and How to Use the Catch All
If you feed hay on the go, you need this net sack. Mount it to the side of a cake feeder, on the headache rack of a flatbed truck, along a feed wagon or utility trailer, or even inside a calving barn or equipment shed. As long as there’s a steel surface, the Catch All will mount there.
Farmers have even used them in non-traditional setups, like storing supplies in grain trucks or keeping gloves and tools organized in equipment sheds. Some have mounted them to the inside walls of their barns to create a central place for used feed sacks or daily trash.
Designed for Real-World Use
We know what it’s like to have equipment that looks good on paper but doesn’t hold up in the field. That’s why the Catch All was designed with real-world use in mind. It can handle the weight of wet net wrap, the sharp edges of plastic sacks, and the stress of bouncing down rough terrain.
We’ve seen ranchers try to make do with trash cans, milk crates, or old fertilizer bags strapped to the side of a truck. That might work in a pinch, but it won’t last long. The Catch All gives you a long-term solution that doesn’t require constant repair or replacement.
In short, it does what it’s supposed to do, every day, in every season.
Why It Belongs on Every Flatbed
The Catch All might be one of the simplest flatbed accessories you add this year, but it’ll be one of the most useful. It reduces cleanup time every day, keeps you safer on the road and in the pasture, improves efficiency during feeding season, and helps you look more professional when pulling into the co-op.
There’s also the matter of respect. Taking care of your operation means taking care of your equipment and your surroundings. Leaving plastic blowing across the road isn’t just bad for your image — it’s bad for the land, your livestock, and your neighbors. A net sack like the Catch All keeps things clean, contained, and under control.
Whether you’re managing hundreds of head or just running a few pastures, this product fits into your workflow without slowing you down.

It’s a low-cost way to improve daily operations, reduce frustration, and show pride in your equipment. You won’t need to hire help or redesign your truck bed to make it work. Just open the box, mount it, and put it to use.
We’re confident that once you try it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get one sooner.
