MaxDrown Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 My current net is killing my back, so I'm in the market for a good quality, light-weight, fly fishing net. Any suggestions? -- Max Drown
OKFlyFisher44 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 As far as bang for your buck...the Frabill trout nets are nice. I have the "Catch and Release" wooden net with the clear rubber netting. Its a great net...only thing is that I wish the handle was longer. If you want to spend some $$$ on a sweeeeetttttt net, go look at Brodin or Fishnat (sp?) nets. Brodin has some awesome nets... Chance ...I'm haunted in my dreams of waters I have yet to fish and trout I have yet to catch... Chasing the Dream...
Zach Bearden Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 How heavy is that net? lol If I wanted a "pretty" net I would go with either Brodin or Fishknat like Chance said. "Its clearly Bree time baby!"

Terry Beeson Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 OK... shameless plug here... but Hendrix Outdoors just came out with a very sweet C&R net... Burlwood handle, magnetic release system included, 18" hoop and a rubberized net with a flat bottom.

3wt Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I never wanted to cary a net for the same reason. I just got a cheap wood c&r net from cabelas and a magnetic release. I've had it a couple years now and can't complain. There are a lot of the handmade pretty nets out there, but I'm not crazy about spending $50 on a net that I'll probably break throwing in a truck bed or loose. And the wood nets are a lot lighter than they look. I stayed away a long time thinking they would be heavy.
vanven Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 I saw that net here. Give them a call. I am also very interested in seeing the net that Terry posted photos of. Unfortunately a Fb link doesn't do much for me. I need a link to the net in an actual shop. -Jerod
