Which net to use??

[esox49]

Just was wondering what brands and models of landing nets that people are using. I want a net that I can use for walleyes, bass, and pike. Thanks for any suggestions!

I can't remember the brand name, but I use a RUBBER NET!!! Let me tell ya, I've used the typical style net for years and every darn fish would get the hooks caught up, they would twist and turn and get a big mess all bunched up. With the rubber net, when they twist and turn, they just bounce around in there and it's soooo easy to just pick them out of it. If the hooks get caught in the rubber part, they just pop out nice and easy. I love it!

I will mention this though, I actually keep two nets in my boat. The rubber one which I use nearly all the time, and a deeper netting-style one in case someone gets a BIG fish. I'll never use the netting style one ever again, unless I absolutely have to.

I personally would look for a net constructed with tangle-free knotless nylon. These can be found by a variety of leaders in the net market. These nets are durable and made with heavy duty coated nylon so your treble hooks won't get stuck in' em.

They are particularly nice because the net is deep to catch medium to larger fish.

If you do some shopping over the internet or are browsing through the isles at your local shop, you'll know what I mean vs. a regular mesh net.

Good luck.

I like the rubber mesh. No tangles from hooks being caught so you are back fishing quickly and easy on the fish that you release. Problem is that small northerns will go right through it if they get there noses in the open webbing. I also carry a collapsible nylon mesh and a cradle.
