Need a New Net


Recommended Posts

I'm planning on getting a new net for the boat. I want an expendable handle for those days I will be pulling lead on the long rods and want a little more reach. Any ideas? I was thinking about the green expendable nets from cabelas. I just saw the Frabill tru-trax and might go with one of those. I like how light the Frabill is. There is a lot of play in it that I am worried about though.

Any experience with any one of these? Any other options for a reasonable price out there?

Frabill Tru Trax. The one that I have has the hookless/tangle free bag (highly recommend) and the handle adjust from about 3 feet out to about 6. The Cabelas nets are basically the same except they have the heavy rubber bag.

the stowmaster nets are really nice!! they fold up to a small space so they dont get kicked in the water or blown out

I want to say $85.00 bucks or so I really cant remember, my StowMaster is 5 yrs old and never had a problem with it! I have a shed full of nets that I've aquired over the years, either there to heavy or not long enough or just plain take up too much room in the boat... and I have an awfully big boat LOL

I really cant comment the new Frabill cuz I've never seen one.
