So as I progress into my never ending crappie fishing frenzy I feel the need to get more user friendly equipment, instead of an old mesh landing net I finally upgraded to a rubber coated EGO net. The purpose of this post is because I was prepared to spend the marked price of $44.99 at Field and Stream, however upon checkout it is on sale for $15.99. So if anyone is interested in a new net like I was the specs are as follows.

EGO The Ultimate Crappie Landing Net
Hoop size: 14"x 18"
Reach: 8' 6"
Rating: 5lbs (Fully extended)
