Anyone used this net from flyshack.com before? Price is right for having in my 12ft tinner. Not looking to spend as much as a fishpond costs.

I have a similar net I use, it came from the Fly Shop in Redding CA and other than the weight it works fine. Like the add says it's great on a pontoon boat or kayak to give that extra reach. I also carry it when wading for smaller steelhead. I have about 4-5 different nets I use. This style net is definitely in the rotation.

I did not mean to quote the entire add. Sorry about that. Not sure I understand the new format entirely. Anyway, as I grow older I see more and more value in a longer net handle. The old days of stooping over to scoop up a fish are behind me. So, even though I do not have experience with the mentioned net, I think it is a good idea. I also think the price is right on these nets. I have some Brodins which are nice but pricey. The Fishpond are nicer, but I prefer natural wood. But for the price I might be willing to try one of these Flyshack nets and even get the extra long one. So thinks for the post.

The only thing I see I'm not sure on is the size of the holes at the bottom of the net. The rubber net itself looks similar to a maxcatch and Ive seen a few reviews of people complaining of smaller fish going through or their heads going through and getting stuck. I think ill still order one and if the net itself isn't ideal then I was thinking of buying a fishpond emerger replacement net as its very similar in size and pretty cheap. Ill post up when I get it.

I have it and use it on a lake, from a pontoon, for largemouth.
And yes, a little perch or something might go through the holes

Well I ordered the net today but because I live in Canada the shipping was almost as much as the net so I cancled my order for now until the border reopens. Might just grab a fishpond net now, thanks for the feed back for those that chimed in.

Well I finally purchased a new net. Spent more than I originally wanted but I supported a local shop, a Canadian product and got an absolutely beautiful net. Went with a Moby net in the Loon model. Cant wait to get it wet!
