Thread: Long Crappie Nets

If I was spinder rigging, I would use a "Japanese telescopic landing net". They have us beat hands down.

I see tons of guys with nets extended out the front of their boat, laying on the deck, in the way, or standing up. The Japanese nets telescope down to 2 feet or less, the hoops fold for storage, and some of them go out over 21 feet! They are light weight and extend with one hand using gravity. When you net the fish, telescope it back in. No need to lift it up and over rods.

OGK is one brand.

Exactly what I was wondering on the EGO S2! Think it’s around 3lb as to where the Jenko Big T is 1lb.

been thinking about getting a long handle net also --- as of now the Jenko net is my top choice ($99) --- will continue to follow this thread

They have us beat on all things fishing. I’ve thought long and hard about ordering one of their nets.

I’ve been using an Ego Slider for a lot of years. Their service is great....sent me a new handle even though the net was way out of warranty. I like it but it is a little heavy for one hand use.....I think there are much lighter ones out there.

Do you have a website to find these or video link to see em in action? I like the concept of extending and retracting with one hand vs twisting or hitting buttons. OGK is out of stock on their webpage

Thanks!! Wonder how it would work as far as retracting with a fish in the net? I really like the concept! Wish it had a rubber type netting tho
