Looking for a new net

BassinBandit · 01-15-09, 04:46 PM

I lost my net on my way to the lake the sunday before last

and I have been looking at a few new ones. I like the idea of this of this net: http://www.amazon.com/Landing-That-F...052172&sr=8-10
It would be easy to store and what not, I am just not sure it would work that great. Any suggestions on a net to get? I miss my old net it was a one hander net

and I can't find one like it anymore

i would reccomend one that has the plastic type netting instead of the rope kind. treble hooks won't get tangled up in it as bad.

zooker · 01-15-09, 05:37 PM

nets?? nets are for lil girls who are scared to lip a fish. or for small toothy beast -i'd rather gaff them any way-..

the one thing i almost NEVER carry on my boat is a net..

nets also make a good crankbait retriever if you aren't hung up too deep.

weezymagic · 01-15-09, 06:11 PM

as c-rig said, plastic will also help keep the fish slime on the fish, where it belongs.

I would hate catching a trophy from your boat. Not scared to lip a fish, but a net when you have the catch of a lifetime on the other end of your pole seems like a good idea to me.

Has anyone seen a net that looks like the one in this drawing? I used it on a friends boat and have been unable to find it online. The handle is completely retractable without having to push in any tabs or anything.

cassidyta · 01-15-09, 07:38 PM

I had bought that very net from this guy

Sorry couldn't help

carolina-rig-01 · 01-15-09, 07:59 PM

<----laughing his arse off at cassidyta.

marc is this the one you are talking about?

MarcBorger · 01-15-09, 08:57 PM

I really wish I could find a picture of it but I haven't had any luck. Nice zinger cassidyta!

Carolina Rig I didn't see a link or picture....

carolina-rig-01 · 01-15-09, 10:06 PM

i am sorry about that, my wife was standing behind me yelling that we are going to be late to my grandparents and needed to leave. heaven forbid that i make us late for one instead of her haha. anyways i forgot to post the link but here it is.

my comp won't let me see that drawing marc put up but i've been looking for one i saw a local tv guy using. it was all black, the net completely pulled inside the handle and it looked a little more sturdy than the one that started this thread. if anybody can find one that fits that description, post it.

WTL · 01-16-09, 08:16 AM

Well I'll admit it, I am scared to lip a bass with a crankbait in its mouth. Have a hook in your hand with a bass attatched to the other treble shaking around is not my idea of a good day off.

Plastic netting is a must though.

rrw4258 · 01-16-09, 10:14 AM

Perhaps the new KVD folding net might do... although the price is high

MarcBorger · 01-16-09, 10:44 AM

The one I am looking ofr had the rubber netting so that hooks don't get stuck but that KVD net is pretty close in all other regards. I have a 16.5' boat so I need to save space wherever I can.

brushhog · 01-16-09, 12:10 PM

Uhmm... A net is a net. All though I'm certain someone knows of the most expensive "best" net you can buy... I lip the little guys, but if I think it's picture worthy fish then I net it... Sorry Zook, i guess it is my feminine side shining through. leaning over to lip in the canoe is tricky anyway.

woody · 01-16-09, 01:35 PM

I'm also man enough to say that I own a net too!

BassinBandit · 01-16-09, 05:27 PM

I do tournament fish and we net all of our fish. I just do it because its quick and easy and we can move on, I understand what your saying Zook and if you are looking to move up to that I would tell you to get used to that to but I fish for fun mainly and if I win a few tourneys along the way thats awesome.

bcklash · 01-16-09, 05:29 PM

Come on guys quit giving bandit ideas on a net. All I ever hear when we're fishing is " got one get the net" or "are you going to get the net". What really bites my butt is when he says it before I can get back to fishing.
