If you call them they will put you on the mailing list and notify you when they are available. There is nothing wrong with the current model, I have used one for a long time. Here is a link to their site. Do not try to buy a totally rubber net for it. It is to heavy when the net is fully extended. IMHO!!

Don need to but this net since he like to catch those stinking stripes.

Yep....get the one in the bottom pic....the EGO REACH RUBBER Net

Might ought to wait....I understand the new one is going to be easier to put a replacement net on.

well just did some more reading and I saw that they have a rubber coated nylon net or a rubber net, which one do you all suggest ?? that is if I dont wait for the new improved model

thanks

DG00 you got pm

I had one of their new nets in my hands at the CUSA Seminar and ifn you aint as big as me or bigger or Feelay, you better stick to the old model. It is purty heavy. I like the handle in the new one better, but the rubber net and the frame is way too heavy to be stuck out 9'. The handle is very easy to operate but the weight would keep me from buyin it. And plus it'll prolly cost over $50.00 or $60.00.

Thanks Minner, I am trying to get away from the weight when extended because that is what I already have with the cabelas rubber net and handle, I did see then new handle setup that slides with the push of a button but ifn its heavier, then I dont want it for sure

You may love it but I don't. And I know everybody says get the rubber net, but I feel the rubber net is why this new setup is so heavy. I got the nylon net and sprayed a rubber coating on it and it does just fine.

I have the all rubber net on the old set up and its just fine.

I have ordered the new S2 Slider with the coated net. It is a lot lighter. Ego has sent me 2 S1's to give away at the Barnett camp and both have the coated net. The handle is a little weak but should work get with a partner in the boat.
