One-handed telescopic net?

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I use a Frabil 9510 - which is extendable but I rarely use that feature.

Generally I fish alone, and every decent fish is netted, always a one handed deal.

I've gotten fairly adept at it.

A rubber bag can be added to most any net that doesn't come with it,

But it will add some weight and make the process a bit harder.

 Tried the rubber net.

I'd say I am at least average strength for my age, but the rubber was far to heavy for my one handed deal and made the process very cumbersome.

Changed it back to the original net and haven't looked back.

 

This is the model net I been using for several years now. (pictured below)

At least average strength he says ?. We’ve all seen your workout videos, your not fooling anyone with that statement!

Also to add, I have a very similar net to @A-Jay, and it works quite well one handed. I also almost never extend the handle, unless I’m downrigging for salmon or trout, then the extra reach is handy.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I think I'm going take A-Jay's advice and get the 9510.  I have a Ranger 36" fixed handle rubber coated net right now.  It's nice, but the handle is too long on the deck and too short when I'm trying to net fish.  The 24-48" handle on the Frabill sounds perfect.
