Southern Crappie Rods has a nice graphite handle net.
Check out the Crappie Monster Outlaw net at crappiemonster.com.

make sure its rubber and not the old style netting , saves a million headaches
I bought a carbon Fiber telescoping handle from China via ebay, for $45, free slow boat shipping (should be here today actually), and a Jenko large mesh rubber net head. Hope to be able to report back tomorrow on its use. Pole itsself collapses down to about 25" and 10.9oz.
Jenko has had issues with the handles no collapsing when wet.
I've heard southern crappie rod's net was a litttttle flemsy, but not terrible.
I'll report back with my findings on my China handled Franken-net.
On my pontoon my crappie net is a Ranger with a collapsible handle.
I agree with the rubber also. It's slower to move in the water on a really active fish but sure saves a lot of time being virtually tangle free.

@robbor I'm just gonna echo what RoughriverRick and SuperDave336 said and recommend to go with The Outlaw Net.Quote:

Wow $140 shipped. Wasn't expecting that.
I wasn't either but after using the search bar for crappie.com and even googling it, really couldn't find a negative thing about the net other than price.Quote:

How long a net where you hoping for?
If you order, get the combo with both size handles.

Make sure you put a piece of pool noodle on it so you don’t lose one like Crappie Kirby on BnM YouTube Fish-Eat-Live.
OH NO! Can I have the link please?Quote:

I built one. Bought a paint-roller and $7, and a telescopic painters pole, $10 . BPS has a $14 trout fishing net (rubber). took handle off roller, bored it out, glued handle of net into it. pole goes into rod locker, until set up for fishing. Works well.
I've been considering the same thing. I recently bought Mega Live and made a mount out of a telescopic painter pole and Ram mount with grip.Quote:
