I need the best landing net for fishing alone (from a boat)

[guywhofishes]

I have a 10+ year old Stowmaster - it's been great but it's gosh awful heavy for my little arm when fishing alone.

Maybe new models are much lighter?

And GO. Recommendations?

This one has been good for me. Not to heavy and adjustable handle if you need to reach out further.

I know where you are coming from. I bought the cheap net with the silver handle and green netting and inserted a broom handle in the end. It's light and long and is good for everything except a large northern or salmon. Left it in the boat holder and caught a tree while trailering and could not stand to be without it. Took awhile to find a replacement as it needs to be the round handled model to accommodate the round broom handle.

...maybe a EGO Medium PVC 29" Handle S2 Slider Net … I haven’t held one but with a PVC handle has to be fairly lite… Hoop size: 19"L x 17"W. Bag depth: 16" flat bottom….you don’t really catch big fish anyways…

Here you go big guy.

RS Nets. Prob the best option since Beckmans are no longer made.

 

[guywhofishes]

which nets have the handle shaped so it hooks your forearm for extra leverage?

I know you are the poster every time I look at your threads. You receive infinite wisdom from NDA and so does everyone else from your questions.

I'm no help on the thread.

[DirtyMike]

buy the frabill conservation series and one of them "back saver" snow shovels. Marry the two somehow and you'll be the envy of all solo boat fisherman.

There is a forearm add on deal you can put on any round handled net.

I know this is a funny dig but I actually fish alone more than with gal, wags, etc. I really find it to be a recharge for the batteries.

have one for panfish

this net should be banned - your chances of hooking the netting with the fish spines or hooks are 99.9999%

RS Nets has one with a forearm brace as an option. I used one this weekend. They are super nice nets. Check out their website.

I think i have the tech7SH. Bought it at Dakota Tackle 8 years ago. I learned the hard way that it is too small for salmon, but perfect for walleye on the river or lake.

Edit: mine is the tech6SQ
