Cheap Walmart head, Frabill replacement rubber net, paint pole & Rees told me to put foam on it work good hall I some monster in it. 14' this is what I thought you guys were doing idea come from the board but was wrong but come up with a dam good net.
Bet down at 10 foot its easy to handle too, good looking net!
How short will it collapse to?
Yep !
Rees glad you told me about the foam 1st time out with it drop it in the lake.
Looks good. I'd like a few more details and detailed pics. How did you attach the head to the paint pole? I've been interested in doing something like this for a while because I have an old frame with a bad net on it here at the house.
I mean how short can you make it 10 12 8 Ft. what is the shortest it will go?Quote:

i made a similar net using a paint extension pole. How I connected it is I took and old paint roller I had an cut the handle. i sanded it down to the size of the hole on the net frame. I used a small screw in the hole where the snap pin comes out of the frame to secure it on the original pole. This way I can use the same net with my original 4 foot handle just by removing the insert.
I guess I am cheap I just use an wooden handle stuck in my net handle. Tried them big long ones and they were very net heavy and hard to manipulate. Well the one I tried was anyways.
I paid $45.00 for my Ego net. Dunno maybe I got a deal.
90 at grizzly jig
I paid $39.99 for my Ego net at gander mountain last year.
YEP yall got good deals they run $80 or $90 buck!
The regular Ego net is $39.95 at Grizzly. The Ego Slider is the one that is. $80-$90.
Tried that ego net and it was ok except a 2+ lb crappie will flop out. I been using the same dip net for 20yrs, used to coat the net with plastic dip using a brush now it comes in a spray can just spray it down and let set for 8hrs good as new.
EGO makes two models. The EGO1 slides out when you twist the handle, but is a lightweight model. Bout 40 bucks. The EGO2 is the better one. It has a slide mechanism that you just push the button, sorta like the Primos Trigger Stick shooting sticks. It's about 90 bucks, and it floats if you drop it overboard.
The best I recall when the ego one came out it was about 70 bucks when the ego two came out they lowered the price to about 40 or so. I have the ego one With the rubber netting. I lost one in the river, I wore the second one out, and I'm currently on my third. It is lighter than the ego two and I have never had a fish jump out of it.
The Crappie Master net fully extended. 160"

They offer a rubber net head like the EGO also. Just snap off one and snap on the other.
Special cudos for my model Josh Sullivan. :-)
That net gotta go. That's a hook snatcher for sure. That boat your model is standing in what is it looks nice whats the size of it and motor. Also $ ? Pm me
The net ain't bad about grabbing bait or jig hooks. It's a Terror on trebles tho!!! That's why I use the EGO 2 for cranking.Quote:

Xpress Hyper Lift. 20'
I did the same thing with a cheap Rubber dipnet. The paint handle sticks up in the handle on the old dipnet and use the 4 section handle. It will close down short or reach out and touch them. Also always fill part of the handle with expanding foam. But put in a plug in it or it will fill all of it and not work right. Don't ask how I know that one.:banghead
