Long Crappie Nets

Looking to invest in a long handled net for when I spider rig with 16ft poles or even making it easier to net fish for the guy in the back of the boat. I’m honestly not sure what is even available on the market but I have looked at the following few.

— Jenko Big T Duralite
— Ego S2 Slider

I don’t have a ton of room so the more compact, ease of use, durability, etc are all important factors. Don’t plan on mounting a net holder. Just keep it on the floor of the boat. Pros and cons for any suggestions is much appreciated!

I have been using a EGO for about 12 years now

Whatever/whichever one you get .... even if it says it "floats" .... I'd tie wrap a section of pool noodle to the outer handle segment, just to be "sure" it'll float if it's ever blown/knocked/dropped overboard. :twocents

Can't beat those pool noodles! Soooo many great uses. :)

No doubt... Because they ain’t cheap!

I use the Jenko Big T. I fish by myself a lot and i can handle that net with one hand. I haven't had any issues with it.

I have had several nets and built some with painters poles in my past.
But the best net on the market is the Jenko net, period. Money very well spent.

I have the Ego Reach. The "ghost" rubber nets make a huge difference.
