walker1 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Hi all. As title states what do you like for a net from a boat? I am using a drifter on the bow and need to upgrade. Was thinking on a clear rubber mesh with something telescopic. Was trying to stay away from the $300 ones but could end up there!!!!!

jayanderson Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I use a Lucky Strike net with a retractable handle that I've extended then filled the handle with spray foam and wrapped the frame with foam pipe insulation so it floats. Its cheap and candle handle large fish with ease. The rubber mesh also seems to aid with removing hooks and often pop out with minimal handling if the fish. I run a 14" Koffler Rocky Mountain Trout so room isn't an issue. I have a long handle $300 fish pond but that is now reserved for steep grassy banks on Stauffer and Raven.

walker1 Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Thanks JA Found a Rising Lunker 38" handle aluminum at BRT and it was the older version so 100 bucks off so sprang for that yesterday. First float of season tomorrow so hope it gets dipped and baptised . My wife already jinxed it saying I don't get fish that big!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
