Crappie Net Question
I have a question. Every time I go to one of the big crappie lakes I see guys using a fairly long but small crappie net. They aren't the larger ones you use for bass fishing or other sport fish, but appear to be for crappie. They are long so when spider trollers lift their rods they hardly reel at all, but just reach out with these lng crappie nets. What are they and where do you get one? I looked at Bass Pro today and couldn't find one like it.

Crab nets... we get them here at about any tackle store, but we are coastal. Not sure of any other nets, but that is what we use. I used a net I modified with a broom handle for years... worked well.

Jigboy, an Ego net is the way to go. I ordered mine last year and have been pleased with it. It remains light even when full extended and the perfect size for a big slab crappie.

I also have the EGO reach and am very pleased with it. I think I got mine off EBAY!

Bass Pros has a new line of nets that Bill Dance in promoting. They have one just for crappie it extends way out and has a snag proof net. I got one last week and i really like it. It's $67 but it is high quality.

ego nets are the best, very sturdy, made and designed by crappie fisherman, you will not be sorry.

JigBoy,
How you been doin ? I buy the small nets at the big box or local bait shop and take the plastic end off the handle then stick and old mop or broom handle inside then put a pan screw into the handle . 12 Bucks !! Come on Spring . ><}}}}*>

I've got one that extends to 8' I got a Bass Pro 4 years ago, it cost around $25. I think the name on it is stalker, the handle comes off of it for storage. I'd go look and see what the full name on it is except its snowing here. :(
Come on spring....

Ego is the one. You guys won't believe how long I have been looking for this and for some reason I never thought to just ask on here. You guys are a big help. I will order on on Friday and yes....come on spring.
