Got a new net

[jsmoke222000]

I got a call from a friend of mine concerning a net that he bought. I checked it out online & decided to get one. Impulse purchase! LOL

Two stage telescoping handle made from 1-1/4” diameter extruded tube. Extruded ridges for extra strength and slip-free handling.

Hoop made from Oval shaped extruded tube. 100% aluminum yoke.

Hoop is Oval shaped for extra strength.

Hoop and handle are made from 6061 T6 aircraft quality aluminum alloy.

Heavy duty nylon netting with fish-friendly knot-free design. Net Bag is 24″ deep with a specially coated “Guardian™” netting.







I found it online for $119.99 shipped. Here is a link:

Saw something kinda like that at Cabela's on my way home.
Cabela's is half way home from work.
I make a pit stop there to eat and walk around before heading home.
Never leave there without dropping a 100 dollar bill in there.

120 dolla net?? That thing better catch fish on its own!

I have tried several hook resistant nets and all have been very expensive but more importantly they won't scoop , ie they are so heavy you can't net quickly and efficiently when you are on a frantic bite....they won't move thru the water...

The rubber nets are pretty hook resistant, but I don't like them cause they are heavy.
I light the lighter nets. The lighter the better.
Most of the time, dip the fish, then get it out as soon as possible. Specially if it is on topwater or a jerk bait.

The problem [IMO] with some of the telescoping handles that I have used are that they are to short.

I read the information about this net and ....... they did not say what was the length of the handle.

I have used that high dollar net a couple of times fishing with smoke and the handle is long enough to where we never had to use the telescoping option.

Every high dollar net I ever had flew out the boat.

Anything that deflects top waters I'm interested. I was fishing with Jared the other day he netted a solid fish I was trying to untangle trebles for 5min of quality top water smashing time. Anyone who fishes top water knows how valuable that time is. I did t want to ruin his net though. I like the rubber ones but never found a deep one only the shallow crabbing ones
