I don't know about the paint pole but I, and many others on here, use the EGO Reach. It extends to about 14', and has a rubber net.
That's what you want....the EGO extendable. Little price but you'll just have to buy one of them...they last forever.
Were can I get it or is it a web site?
www.adventureoutdoorproducts.com search till you find the reach with rubber net
The rubber Ego is a great net if you normally fish for smaller fish (under 2#'s) by yourself. The bigger fish can jump back out of without any problem. If you catch the bigger fish then you need to step up to the Crappiemasters net. It extends out to 13'8" end to end but it's a two person net because it is heavy but they won't jump back out of it.
Bill at Big River Marine carries them and he is a sponsor member here.
Ego is what I use, I fish by myself sometimes and it's easier to use one handed
Ego
Contact Big River Marine he sells a great net thats also pretty easy to handle by yourself.
I'm making one from a paint pole that goes from 6-12'. I bought an $8 net for the hoop, and should be getting my new rubber replacement net ($20 shipped) from Tackle Warehouse any day.

May not be as fancy as an expensive store-bought one, but it'll work and cost me a lot less. Will post a pic of the netting once it comes in and I get it put on.
Got the net today, and got 'er on....now it just needs slimed

what you need a net for?????? :Rofl
X2 on the Crappie Masters net for bigger fish. Had too many bounce out of an Ego.
That's a fine looking net there Neon. And you other gewbers got me skeert to death about fish jumping out of my EGO now!
Thats a good net you rigged up Brian
I've tried em all...... Didn't like the crappie masters net and gave it away. Like the ego reach but it is a little short and the net is a little shallow. Really like the ego slider but the dang handle kept malfunctioning. I now use the net from the slider (has a screw on handle) and a 8-12 foot paint pole extension handle from Lowe's. It works the best for me of all the ones I have tried.
It may happen next trip but I ain't never had a fish jump out of my ego net. It's netted everything from 1 1/4 Lb river specks that jump like they on crack to that 3.77 I caught this spring.
The EGO will be hard to beat.
bout the only time I use a bet is when someone else is in the boat:biggrin

BTW, you can drill extra holes in the outer handle to make the length whatever you want.
I use the EGO 2 rubber slider for crank baiting because its easier to get the crank out of the rubber. They are heavy tho if you're fishing by yourself, and I've had to get my handle replaced twice!!!!!
Just wondering what you didn't like about the CM net? That's the first bad thing I've heard about them, and I've sold over 100 of em. Just curious.Quote:

Maybe if the CM had ways to adjust to more than the 3 set positions I would have liked if better. Not so much a knock on the net as I just didn't like it. The CM net definately has the longest reach of any net I have seen.Quote:

Handi you make a very good point. I took mine and drilled a couple of extra holes so it would be more adjustable.Quote:

this net also doubles as one heck of a push pole as well. While on a trip this week it made life easier, standing behind someone I still had enuff reach to net the fish being caught out in front of the boat. Add some floatation to it tho!!!!!
