Title: umbrella drop nets
Post by: fish_finder on Jun 23, 2008, 11:26 AM

 Anyone ever try them? I just bought one the other day and tried it out, what a great way to get a lot of minnows in a short period of time! Way better than minnow traps.

hard to use if any current. i tied a weigh to the bottom of mine to keep it flat on bottom.

Used to use my dads all the time back when I was younger.  The one I have now is a piece of junk, it kind of works but not very well.  Where did everyone get theirs from?  good fishin

love my umbrella nets work really good as landing nets too for those big fish when your fishing on a wall without an extension net
