Yall gonna be mighty disappointed in the Jenko nets, they are light but you better not hoss nothing with them
I use the Crappie Masters net, comes with 2 hoops, tight mesh rubber coated for spider rigging and a cranking net. When fishing alone if I feel I need a net I take the inner section out with the hoop on it and use it, makes it much lighter. Extends to over 12 feet and stout enough to use as a push pole when needed.
To each there own but I rarely use a net on a fish under 2 lbs unless tourney fishing so I want the sturdiest net I can get for the application.
He’s not lying he don’t like to use a net lol. Sorry John but I had to.

I’ve been using an Ego Slider for 10 years. It is sloped at front also. Using 2# test I net everything. I have a much lighter kayak net for fish such as Gills and crappie. When I bank fish for crappie though the Ego goes with me so I can extend the reach. I catch a lot of Smallies and always use the Ego net on them. The cons to it is the weight. If someone is in the boat with me if I get a big fish on they can net it for me.....but trying to handle that net and a rod.....all I do is cast......is hard. A big plus is their customer service. My net was way past warranty when the slide mechanism quit working. I called them to see how to take the handle apart and they asked me why I wanted to do that and when I told them they overnighted me a new handle no cost to me. When those nets first came out the slide mechanism failed a lot. They fixed that problem and the handle on my net is now 5 years old...or more and is still working great.....but as I said they are heavy. I would like a lighter net that can handle the 20 pounds extended as the Ego can......will be following this thread for some info.

If you are talking about the CM net, with the hoop off it is still almost 6 foot long.Quote:

He misstated, flat fact and I will tell him to his face. I have pics somewhere of when I tested it, a 3.5 brick is a lot of pressure on this net fully extended, CM barely bent over any, will look for the pics.Quote:

Does the hoop screw on the cm net

Has a collar that goes on the main shaft and snaps and locks in place.
Hoop is sturdy too, those who have fished with me will tell you it lays in the floor when motoring to the fishing hole, heck some days it stays there all day, ask Mike 123456789.
Sometimes he won’t even get it out lol

Today I saw a telescopic long handle dip net at Walmart. It was black plastic, and broken off where it connects at the handle. Claimed to be a "Folding Model". I believe I would pass on that one...
I made my telescoping dip net from a telescopic windshield washer handle and a short handle hoop.
Both found at Wmart for less than $30. I fastened the hoop to the handle using 2 pipe clamps. It has worked great for years.
I've picked up big cats and bass with it.

My opinion on the Jenko, I have a ego slider and it worked ok some times you had to fight it a little to get it extende out but I could deal with it, Then I got a Jenko it is so much lighter and easier to use and move around I really like it with that being said common sense tells you not to use it as a breaker bar when your changing a tire on your boat it is easy to see it wasn't designed for that. I also tested how much weight I could put in it and I had 5lbs in it but keep in mind if it broke I had to pay for the replacement so I went easy on it and I didn't go any more I know when I'm using it I will probably never be landing a 5 lb Crappie therefore I'm also not putting it under a 5 lb cat I like my jenko better than any I have had and therefore I don't mind babying it. For it is easy to use and I would hesitate to put it under a 3 lb Crappie u just have to learn to use it. Also on the big heaven made nets if you put them under a 60 lb cat fully extended and try to raise them there Breaking. I would go Jenko and learn to be easy with it.
One thing I can say for certain is that this fall I caught a 6.48 lb largemouth while crappie fishing and used the Jenko net extended to get it in the boat. The handle will bend but it did not break. I've used this net for a while now and have been extremely happy with it. I also talked to Matt the owner of Jenko and he told me about the same test that Tony mentioned, he said they were tough on the net to see how much abuse it would take. I have no reason to doubt either of them.Quote:
