Net?

Just got my first boat and was wondering what kind of net you guys use. I want one that will stow easily but long enough to help when rigging. I didn't realize how expensive they run. Open to ideas don't want to break the bank.

There are similar versions from other companies that are less expensive but IMO not as durable, I've had mine 6 years and still on original net.

A friend has the above net it's awesome. If you have the cash buy it

I made mine. Trout net at BassPro or Everharts, extending painter's pole (aluminum) from Lowes, remove padded cover on trout net, insert painters pole, drill two holes, rivet inplace. Great net for less than $30 and you can net fish in the next county. Doesn't weigh much either.

Get the one with rubber net. Just a couple of dollars more. Light enough to handle by yourself. The Slider is a heavy net.

I have a Ego rubber net, it's ok but the white bass will cut the rubber I found out, when I replace the net part it won't be rubber.

I bought the cableas slider net. It stowes really well and easy to put together and take apart. I don't normally use one bass fishing so I wanted something that was easy to stow.

I also used a painters pole from lowes and rigged it to an old wore out net I had. then I spent 20$ on a replacement rubber net at bass pro. I went with a rubber net because I also pull cranks sometimes and all those treble hooks don't get snagged up as bad in rubber nets.

ego reach telescope rubber mesh crappie net at Wal-Mart.com $37 right now. Hard to beat that net...you wont beat that price unless you have sticky fingers

I have the S2 slider..it is heavier but that is the only downside i've found. Extends very easy and also floats..well built IMO.

Ego for me
