need a new landing net for sebago

[fishlessman]

gone thru three rubber nets over the last few years, have the old  braided striper net for backup. do they make a good rubber, big, deep, long handled net with a strong cored inside that doesnt snag hooks. i think i used a whole roll of electrician tape tying the last rubber one together last year

I wonder if you could coat an old braided net with that flex seal stuff from the TV commercials

Here is a net that i use for doormat fluke in the salt. It extends and so far I am going strong on the 5th season with it. Just add some grease to where the net screws onto the handle.

which one do you have, i have the one with clear rubber and its at the point where slot lakers will fall thru. i see a rubber coated nylon one in that list, that may be the one i buy. overall i like the size

I use the frabil 20x23. No complaints.

Anyone tried the PVC coated mesh or the polyethylene mesh?  I am in the market and wouldn't mind something lighter than rubber but don't want to deal hooks fouling in the basket.  I have a Cummings that had the same tear issues in the rubber and I put a Frabil rubber bag on it but it is very heavy compared to the Cummings (but so far tear free).  I'll take the weight over the constant repair.  The Cummings bag was practically all zip ties when I replaced it.

I have the rubber net and not sure on exact size of handle but up to 60" sounds about right. I absolutely love it.

I have a cabela's black mesh extendable.  Really nice had it for three years now

Someday I'm going to spring for a Stevens net made right here in Maine, beautiful looking piece of equipment.

I have a couple of Ranger rubber nets and find them great, mainly because they don't weigh a ton, easy to maneuver.

I take the end cap of the pole off and fill it with foam insulation, using a dowel to push the foam all the way down the pole.
if I drop it over the side, it's nice to see it floating on top of the water. A few wraps of red reflective tape just to spot it easier.

I saw some nice nets at Mardens two weeks ago

I have the pvc coated 19x21” hoop net and it’s great for togue on Sebago.  Hooks come out easily and it’s both more durable and a lot lighter than the pure rubber nets.  Extending handle works great too.
