Thread: Long handle crappie net ?????

Got two of 'em. I like mine. The only knock I have on them is they are a little heavier than I anticipated they would be when extended. Oh yeah, Creek says they don't float!!!

I have one but replaced the netting with much lighter net material. Works great and they do not float.......I know from experience.

I like mine. Although i havent had any problems, i have seen several posts in the past with people having problems with the slide after awhile. I belive most of them got a replacment from ego free

Go buy you an extendable long handle from Lowes.. or some hardwear store .I use the Long arm...then put a Frabil net on the end...drill one hole to keep em attached with a small bolt n nut. Lightest best net ive ever used and it will reach out and touch them. And will cost you half the money.

Did you guys buy em online or in a store? I found one at dicks in Conway . It's an ego but it only extends like four or five foot I'm not finding any stores around that carry the longer ones, I may have to order or buy one online and have it shipped I guess .

Thanks crappie pro that sounds right up my alley I'm gonna look into that !!!!!!

I'm on my second Ego Reach....has the rubber net.....great but just a little heavy. Also made one with a long thin wooden handle and a nethead I got from Walmart that works really well....it's extremely lightweight and fast. If you get the Ego just put some pipe insulation around the shaft and secure with zip ties so it will float.

If you fish with Crappie Pro, you get lots of practice using his net! If I had not already bought an Ego-Reach when I used his, I think I'd try building one like his. It's light, and extends as far as my 8' Ego-Reach! Good net!
