    Default Landing nets


    Looking at getting a better net.

    Got to be light weight
    What do you have?
    How long ?
    Recommendations?

    I see on on Amazon that’s 8ft 6in
    Thanks

    I have 2 ego nets. One is there expandable alum net that sell for about $40.00 and the other is the high dollar moder that expands and is heavy. It sells for around 120.00 and is a high quality net. Let your pocket book be your guide.

    I tried the Ego and parked it (Too heavy for me) and got a Cummings net. The handle extends to something like 8'-9' long and can easily be handled with one hand/arm when landing a fish. Only thing I did was remove the rubber net from my Ego and put it on my Cummings. I picked the Cummings net up From Mark at The Crappie Hole.

    I'm too cheap, for crappie I use a crab net and insert the wood handle in a aluminum pole about 7 or 8 foot long. Works for me but don't float unless you put a swim noodle on the handle.

    Almost everything floats for a split second until you reach to grab it!

    Call Ed Duke at southern crappie rods. He has nets that extends to 12 ft and there very light. You can handle it with one hand , I think it cost around 40 or 50 bucks. I was up there last week and he had them in stock

    I have a light weight net that goes from 6' to 11'. I put a 12" piece of swim noodle on it using zip ties. Now both the net and I wear PFDs.
