Starting to look around for a new net, looking for recommendations. I currently have a Tangle-Free Folding Net | Frabill | Shop but it's getting pretty tore up and won't last much longer.

I like this net because I have a small boat and it folds down very small when I'm not using it. What I don't like about it is the net mesh because it is constantly hanging any hook that goes near it, and big fish like catfish and bass tear it up pretty good. I often have to cut hooks out which just tears holes in the net.

Any recommendations? Here is some qualities I'm looking for:
  • Snag-free: limited amount of snagging hooks, fins, etc
  • Durable - good for crappie, catfish, bass, etc (do I need a rubber net?)
  • Bonus feature: collapsable or foldable for storage


Stuff I don't need:
  • Really long handle - I scoop all my fish right at the boat not 10 ft from the boat
  • Landing huge fish - I'm not pulling in 50lb cats, biggest fish will be maybe 8lbs and not that often
