Need to get a new fish net. Considering a collapsible one. Does anyone use them?

Which net would you prefer?

(S-h-h-h-h! Tore up my brother's and need to replace it.)

Like the compactness of the BPS collapsible net, but its a bit flimsy. Have a Frabil collapsible. Have the Cabelas magnum net that has a handle that can slide up a little for storage. Of the 3, I like the Cabelas the best because it is the sturdiest of the bunch, but it does take up more room.

I love my frabil hibernet. It stores in tiny places, it is a little tough to open but takes no space.

How about a less expensive fish net?

Go to Wal-Mart and get one that the handle retracts into the net. Your not going to find a net that collapses anywhere for cheap.

Personally I wanted the lightest net I could find with a longer handle. Got a Ranger aluminum handle rubber bag at sportsmen warehouse. I'm usually by myself and this net has performed superbly!

Whatever it is make sure it's rubber. I also like the EGO S2 Slider. I've seen some complaints it's not that strong, but I landed a 50"+ sturgeon in it two weeks ago without a problem.

I'm with RickS. If you fish by yourself, make sure its very lightweight.
