Landing Nets

[GLF]

I am looking for a new net for my boat. Any recommondations?

[Priority1]

Get 2.

[HitMan]

I second that! It is a lot less stressful when you have two nets and get into a herd of fish all at once.

I would recommend Cumings Nets. They are locally made in Flint, MI and the customer service has always been fantasic for as many years as I can remember.

Ranger nets also make a good net. Be sure to get a strong but light handle, otherwise netting becomes too much of a job and is like work.

Frabill makes a pretty good net, I like their extendable handle it's pretty strong. I need to be able to reach the water, I sit about 3 foot up from the waterline and have to reach past my swim platform.

Its got to be a pretty big net, a 27' Sea Ray Amberjack will never fit in a little net....lol....

Make sure its a big one for those 30lbers we'll be netting during the West Michigan Fishing league events.....

We just swing them 30 lbers onboard like big eyed tuna!

I purchased some from a Company out of Wisconsin two seasons ago. (4 replacements) All are junk now. Gotta find a new supplier.

i have a cummins with a 8 ft fiber glass handel that is very strong it came from tackle haven in st joe and i think it was around 35 dollars

Heavy duty net bag and a good strong handle. Those 2 pc. aluminum adjustables look like they would bend with a 20#er in it.

When it comes to a net I highly recommend a Beckman. They may have changed the name on the salmon series, but the Salmon Special is the last net you'll ever buy. They have a hook proof net and a lifetime guarantee on the yokes. I've had mine for 15 years and it's still going strong.

[GLF]

What length are you using?

[J J Mac]

I use Cummins nets with the extendable, hexagonal handle and put Frable waxed nets on them. I have used Beckman and they are excellent quality but I don't like the round handle - makes it more difficult to latch the handle in place when you move it in or out.

[Willie Bee]

The handle extends to 10 feet.
