Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 30, 2006 Super User Posted November 30, 2006 I'm looking for a net I can use for bass that will be permanently in my new Ranger. It seems that the only really nice nets I've seen are for trout. Does anyone make a nice quality net for bass? Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted December 1, 2006 Super User Posted December 1, 2006 www.tackletour.com evaluated a stowaway net made by SPRO. TackleTour rated the net very favorably. BUT, its MSRP is $79.00. Mike Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted December 1, 2006 Super User Posted December 1, 2006 I use a Promar net. It doesnt fold up or store real well, but then again when its time for the net, I don't want to dig it out of storage and unfold it, I want to pick it up off the floor and stick it in the water. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 1, 2006 Super User Posted December 1, 2006 I HIGHLY recommend that you buy a rubber net: The Great Net from BPS, $42.99. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted December 1, 2006 Super User Posted December 1, 2006 I use a good trout net. It is small easy to store and handle. I have netted 10 lb hybrids with it. JMHO Ronnie Quote
BASS fisherman Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I think Frabill makes a good net. I think they have the rubber ones too. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 1, 2006 Author Super User Posted December 1, 2006 I have heard good things about the rubber nets. I may have to try one. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted December 1, 2006 Super User Posted December 1, 2006 Rubber nets are the way to go. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 1, 2006 Super User Posted December 1, 2006 Here are the benefits of a rubber net: 1. Minimal impact on the fish. 2. Lures rarely (never) get hooked-up in the net. 2. The net never tangles up on itself, it is always good to go. Quote
R Tilson Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I would recommend Ego Nets. Light weight FLOAT!!! 2 year warranty They have both Nylon mesh and Rubber mesh. The best thing about their rubber mesh nets is the rubber stretches up to 2x with load therefore helping to eliminate the bounce effect. The large size has a 19"x21" hoop opening and a 36" handle. I've put up to 7 lb largemouth in the Medium 17"x19" hoop / 30" handle. www.adventureproducts.com Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 1, 2006 Author Super User Posted December 1, 2006 Well I just picked up a new SPRO net on Ebay for $23. Let's see what it looks like, it may become a good back up net. Quote
justfishin Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Lip them and if you do have to own a net, clear rubber. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Many people like the rubber nets for the reasons listed above but I have heard complaints of them not moving thru water very well because of heavy resistance to the water. Requires a stabbing type of movement instead of a sweeping motion to net fish. I do not own a rubber net just repeating what I have been told.......................Al Quote
