Long handle crappie net ?????

**Handicrappie** · 01-13-2013, 09:36 PM

Ego Reach rubber is great for use when pulling cranks but it is a little heavier than the ego reach coated net which is easier to use by yourself. The Ego Slider is a really cool design but the handles don't hold up at all. Just had my third one go bad. This net is to heavy for use by yourself but great for fishing with someone. I recently bought a paint pole from lowes and screwed my slider handle into it. Think its going to work pretty well.

Love my ego reach.

Only downside to mine is it has the rubber coated net & hooks get caught in it & are a pain to remove. If I had it to do again, I'd get the rubber mesh net.

Ski trip what's a dip net?

I guess I am cheap. Iuse a Frabil with broom handle screwed to it. Its about 7'long and very light weight. when I fish by myself I found that a small trout type net works well when I sit on the front of the boat.

I don't know what brand mine is. But, I had and old handel from a paint roller or something laying around. I stuck it in the end of my net handel and it fit. I will go the mesh type when this one gives up. The one I have is a PITA when a Bandit gets hung up in it. But, if you fish with long poles, you gots to have a long handeled net.

EGO Reach

I sell the Crappie Masters net by Dotline. It's the best for Spider Rigging. Smaller diameter netting, and extends twice. It comes 75" long, and extends the first time to 116" and again to 141". Almost 12', and it's light, and strong.

The EGO is better for cranks.

If they don't float, try using a pool noodle or pipe insulations and zip tie a 12"-16" piece to the handle and it should float with that, at least my Frabil does.

Nimrod don't know what a dip net is!! His fish go from "thump" to the floor of the boat in one single motion!!! And that's regardless of size! I've fished with him several times and can't remember him losing a fish!
