What net do you use in your boat?

What net do y'all use in your boat for netting fish? Folding or not?

Frabill Conservation Landing Net

I use this one and I love it. Frabill really makes the best nets on the market if you ask me. This particular net is a space saver because the handle can retract and the whole net itself can become compact. The netting material is high quality and I very rarely have to untangle hooks from it. It's also pretty lightweight and you can extend the handle with one hand while fighting a fish. Great net and well worth the price.

I've went through quite a few nets and this one is probably the best net I've had and by far the cheapest. Very big and very light.

Honestly been looking into possible rubber coated nets, kinda get tired of fighting treble hooks... What do y'all think?

Bought me one of these last month and have yet to use it. No review. I love the way it screws apart and fits in my storage and out of the way.

That is the BEST Net IMO

Just spend $60,000 on a legend v20, it comes with one. Lol

20x24 Frabill Power Stow net. Tangle free, crankbait safe, folds up behind seat and extends when needed. best $150 I spent!

I like this one for ease of storage and durability

I use a frabill hiber net. Unfortunately, I rarely use it given I typically flip anything under about 6lbs. When I have needed it though, it's worked great. Stows nicely, but it is not treble hook friendly.

I've been through a rubber net. They have a lot of drag in the water. It makes scooping a fish pretty difficult.

Since I Quite guiding dont use a net.+

I also have a Frabill 20" X 24" Power Stow net but I paid maybe $50 at Academy. Works great. The difference might be in the net mesh. Mine is a little wider spacing than what Chris's link showed. But when I looked on Academy.com they had what looks like the net Chris is describing but it is like $90.

I had one of the rubber nets but it was very heavy and had a lot of water resistance when netting the fish and was had shallow "basket". Had a few fish jump out of it.

EGO S2 Slider, Landing Net
Bought it mostly because interchangeable head, rubber netting and it FLOATS ...
but, honestly, most days I forget it...just as good without one.

God Bless

i use one that's always in the way

This is what I use too and I'm very happy with it. For the money it works great and stows easy in a rod locker.
Here is a LINK

Thanks for the responses. That $50 Frabill looks pretty solid. Might have to make a trip to Academy this weekend!

The rubber one from walmart. My good one flew off the back of the boat a few weeks ago.

Made by Frabill....good price! Cabela's

I cheated out and got the rubber net with extendable handle out to like 8ft from academy for 29.99

1+.... Generally try to net everything on tournament day. Fished Okeechobee as a co, this year for flw tour. Day two boater flipped a 3 pounder into side of boat. Came off, his check swam away with that one. He missed getting paid by just over a pound.

Yea the net material is the difference. This one has much smaller (1/4 x 1/4") holes and the entire net is coated to eliminate hooks getting into it. Also the netshape is different and a little deeper than the one at Academy (I looked at those before buying). The Academy one tapers in the center and mine is more like a basket shape. Also mine telescopes out an extra 3ft or so....not sure about the Academy one. When I purchased mine Amazon and Frabill were the only 2 places that carried this specific model (size wise).....I cannot locate it on academy. BPS carries the smaller 14x18 version for $90 but not the 20x24" You want the #8507 model: http://www.basspro.com/Frabill-Power-Sto...OSSSELL_PRODUCT

Gander Mountain carries it for $120 + shipping now but it's on back order. It's model Frabill #8507

I normally go with whichever one is hardest to get to while I have a fish trying to get off

been using a rubber net for past 6 years and like it a lot. not problem with hooks hanging in it and the handle telescopes so it does not take up space.
