Ego reach. They also have excellent customer service.

EGO 2S. Get the nylon 1/4" mesh and spray it with tool handle coating. Hooks and weights will not pass through and the
spray will keep the hook from penetrating the cord. It will be much lighter than a rubber net. It extends to about 9' plus the newer ones float. Grizzley Jig is a good source for them.
Check out the new Jenko nets. Go to their website and check them out.
I fish alone, in a small boat, so I go with a teardrop hoop, about 3' long, aluminum handle and hoop, from wall Mart.
Then I changed out the nylon net with a Promar flat bottom, replacement, rubber net bag, from eBay.
Got $20 in it. Light and small. Piece of Noodle will float it, and hardly know it's in the boat.
Works for me with 12' rods.
:fish
I Have the ego reach and like it. It is heavy but well built.
X2 on ego
I have an Ego net and bought a Jenko this year. I prefer the Jenko. At 12 feet in length, I can handle it with one hand to get the fish in the net. I fish alone most of the time and strength and weight are important for me.
There is only one. EGO is second to none. Paya little more and get the extender you'll be glad you did.
I love the ego net...but with very little use over the 2 years ive had it, it will not tighten up when I twist the handle anymore. I just bragged about it to someone... they bought one... and mine started doing this. Just my luck.
I have a ego and a jenko I prefer the Jenko 3 to 1 longer reach and a lot lighter .
Update on this problem I have with this net..... I emailed ego customer service and explained my problem. I told them it was "about" 2 years old but probably not in warranty anymore. I just asked if I could do anything to the handle to make it tighten up. I got a response... " tell us the model number and we will send you a new one". I was not expecting that response. They did not have to do that at all. Needless to say, I am more than happy with their customer service and HIGHLY recommend their products.Quote:

I think you will be happy with your new purchase. I've been using my Jenko net for a while now and it has served me well. This summer I did switch the head out to the rubber coated net which added a little weight but it is still extremely light.Quote:
