I used an Ego Reach Slider for a while. Love the concept but was heavy. Went to the Ego Reach that extends to 8'6" with rubber netting and weighs a little over 2 lbs. Well pleased with it. I also have a Matthew Outlaw net with rubber netting that I bought when I left my Ego at home on my last trip. It's Lightweight and really nice but a little pricey.
