Net suggestions? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SHRED · 06-15-2020, 08:14 AM

Looking for a net suggestion. I want the option to scoop up a big bass rather than just relying on lipping them.
Thanks

I love the Promar collapsible nets. They are rubber coated and stow really easily.

Full disclosure, I have been working the Fred Hall show for Promar for some 8 or 9 years, so I know their product well and I could not work the show for them if I did not believe in the quality of the product and integrity of the company.

I got an inexpensive net on amazon with the rubber coated net. Much nicer on the fish than the standard nylon netting. Its foldable and has worked well for me with sculpin and other fish that I dont want to handle, or that are too squirmy for me to get a handle on.

Ive been using the PLUSINNO Fly Fishing Net. Its quite durable and its extendable. If youre looking for other options, you should check this site out.

Nice find! Rubber coated is the way to go to minimize fish slime removal and promote a better release for the CPR catches.

These are great. Good for hali releases too. I also use these to scoop squid from the kayak at night.
