What net do you use?

[WillCFish]

When buying nets premium quality pays off.

Don't cheap out on this purchase as it will cost you in the long run.

Catch and Release is important.

Beckman for muskies. Ego Generation 2 slider for anything small.

[solbes]

Beckman fixed length. Learned the hard way once to always have a large net basket. Would rather dig out the hooks than lose another trophy!

[Mistermojo]

Cabelas folding net made by Stowmaster.

I don't know. Mine flew out of my boat on the way to the Mississippi river. So I picked up what they had at a bait shop in Redwing. That was 10 year ago. The handle extends to 8 feet or so and is unnecessary. UV rays have done there job on the net but it has a few more year in it.

I use a Frabill rubber net that walleyes are scared of. Bass do just fine though.

I have 2 Frabrill nets. A large one that I use for sturgeon and a mid size net that usually hangs on the wall. I also have a small 15 inch $10 net I bought several years ago at the Northwest Sport Show that I keep in the boat. I rarely net a fish, but I've had 28 inch walleyes and some big pike in this net. I like it because of its size and I store it flat against the side of the boat. I use a couple broom clips to hold it in place.

I use the EGO slider net

I use the Frabill Conservation nets for normal fishing, and I throw in a Beckman when trolling for big fish. The big hoop and long handle of the Beckman are real handy when you can troll multiple rods like Green Bay or Oahe. I prefer the Frabill Concervation nets here in Minnesota where I release almost all of my fish. For what it's worth, I always have two nets in the boat.

frabill telescoping handle with locking feature & nylon net...would have prefered rubber net but did not like the extra weight it added

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

I use a lip grabber instead of a net. Works good for my style of fishing. I hate tripping over a net in my boat. Yeah, I know you can get ones that store easily and brackets for holding them, but they are still in my way.

I have used quite afew and have settled on the Beckman. The one I have does not have the huge hoop but is more medium sized and the basket has a somewhat shallow design. It extends out to 8 feet for trolling. What is nice about it is it stilll somewhat light weight for general use but it plenty tough when extended to scoop up walleyes when trolling. THe basket also does not hang foat back and get tangled in the hooks of the bait before y0u can scoop the fish.

My basket has lost most of it's hook free properties (after about 4 years) and will be replaced this winter with the same one.
