Keep it up though, I just might make an exception. Boy, I'll roll you like a drunk and cut your trailer loose into your garage door just for spite and leave you with a popknot big enough to need it's own zip code. Cause it ain't nothing for me to whip a geezer.

WB my grandpa told me to never fight with a old man cause they will hurt you. he said to make it fair old man fight dirty and well hit you with whatever they can get there hands on.

know back to the nets. DD do they still sale that bill dance net at bass pro?

No idea, haven't been over there and looked. I know I regret leaving that net on the pier at Lake Ross barnett in mize that morning. Went back a couple hours later and it was gone

I meet up with crappiepro on lake conway last night. he had a very neat homemade net. he took a short handle cheap net and bought a Telescoping Extension paint Pole. He put the net on the end of the pole and used some self tapping screws to hold it together. It looked strong and had a good reach on it.

But will hooks get hung up in it?

That thing would be pretty heavy I would think

Scott's EGO came in and we have used it twice now. It is light weight both in weight and what you can dip with it in my way of thinking. But man it so much lighter and better than the other rubber net he had, it weighted a lot, felt like 20 lbs. So far we have not stuck a hook in the net itself, pulling CB's, but the hooks do get caught in the holes in the net so you will be un-hooking your plug from the net after each fish. Have not yet used it with jigs.

Man, I wish I had ask you guys before I bought, I got one from Cabelas with the rubber net and so far I havent even put it in my boat because to me it seems way to heavy for what I need, I mean for a catfish or big striper it is built strong enough but over kill for crappie, guess Im gonna order me one of the EGO for sure, will have to put my other brand new cabela on the market ! this is what I ordered and just aint happy with it at all, as said never even been in my boat, anyone interested ?Attachment 48704tAttachment 48703
