Mark, I've owned several of those nets over the last few months. They are good nets with one minor issue that's easy to overcome. Up by the swivel where the brail lines meet the handline they have a metal crimp. First time you throw and get stuck on something a little bit some of the brail lines will pull through the crimp making the brail lines, and net very uneven. It's very time consuming to pull the brail lines individually through the crimp again to make it even again. If you tie a simple overhand not (yes you have to pull all 26 ft of handline through to do it) just below the crimp, it will keep all the brail lines even should you get hung up a little. I do this first time I open the box and remove the net Good tip. Haha!

Most nets are designed so the Braille lines will pull loose when hung up to hopefully keep from tearing your net up.

Just something to think about. Buy the exact same Fitec net, but in 7' if you want it, from Gander Mountain. Buy the one year replacement guarantee about $5. Then you all set if you hang it and tear it up during the first twelve months. No one told me about this I've had a couple replaced, maybe more.

I have used many different brands of nets and IMHO, the fitec super spreader is the best deal for the money.

Bass pro also has a net that offers a warranty as well.

That's a good deal, I have been going through one a week for a month or so, Tom & I are about ready to start Bass fishing so we don't have to buy any more nets, Thanks for the Tip Jackie!!!
