The new net is a Jenko. Very lightweight and easy to maneuver. Like all twist lock handle nets I've ever used it will turn but that's reduced as I learn and hasn't cost me a fish. With the net attached, which easily screws on & off, it is 12' from end to end (although I haven't used it fully extended) and weighs just 2lbs. The lightweight is great for one person handling a rod & netting. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does once hig trolling gets underway soon.
