I need to get a new net for landing crappie. I was just curious to know what net most of you are using and how long do you think I need.
Thanks.

If your using long poles you need a long net. I got a frabill 5' or so rubber net for cranking last year. Works ok with two, but still tricky. After spider rigging by myself and losing fish with short net, I ordered the ego s2 slider, baby reaches out almost 9 feet.. I look forward to getting it.

EGO that extends with a rubber net. I got tired of sending 5 minutes untangling the hooks after catching a fish.
Monks crappie has the crap-e- net he is a supporter also!
I use an EGO with a rubber head and I just purchased a JENKO carbon fiber handled net from
Grizzly Jig this past January. I like it because it has a deeper net. The drawback is that it is
not rubber, but talking to the owner of Jenko Fishing, he is having one made in rubber for those
of us who troll cranks. The carbon fiber handle on the net is very lite weight.

Thanks for the advice. I am new to this forum.

Anyone who hasn't seen the new Jenko Big T Dura Light Crappie Net . Weighs 17 ounces and extends to 12 feet. They are expensive. Received mine last week. Going to put it to the test Saturday I hope. Purchased mine through grizzly jig. I have had ego also. They are nice but to heavy and bulky for me. JMHO
Thanks for the help guys. I just ordered a Ego reach rubber from Grizzly Jig. Can't wait to try it out.

NOTE : product does NOT say that it FLOATS !! Put enough sections of "pool noodle" on the handle so that it DOES FLOAT, if dropped overboard. :twocentsQuote:

I don't have a rubber net,mine is cloth,I refuse to net a fish while I'm using cranks or spinners with multiple hooks.A rubber net is on my wish list.
I'm not sure I understand and it may be a dumb question... but what's the big deal about a rubber net and why does everyone prefer it over other materials?

Simply put ... the rubberized nets are less likely to get a hook hung in them. Nylon cord nets have twisted nylon strands in the netting, and you can damage the net or have to mash down the barb on your hook(s) to get them free. Just imagine what a pain that would be with a jig or two ... then multiply that by the SIX hooks on a crank bait !! Not to mention the time/effort it would take, and the amount of time it would take your attention away ... all while trying to continue to fish with all the other rods still out.Quote:

I almost never use a net , but to be sure the rubberized nets will keep you after fish longer
I got a green net with aluminum handle. I filled the handle with expanding foam for flotation. I store it next to my live-well, made a little place for it to live. One day I'll get pictures.
