[QUOTE="Ndakotaboy73, post: 128920, member: 1949"] I'd be interested in how the Yak net works out. I've went through four nets in the last year after replacing my old Frabill. The EGO S2 is nice but a 50+ in Muskie will take it apart. Also watch out for the fact that the net is threaded so you can switch hoops or go to a gaff, boat hook etc. Nice concept but if it's not tight when landing fish it turns while trying to get positioned. I've now loctited mine so it won't happen anymore. The other challenge with this net is that it'si handle is thick since its wrapped in foam so it floats. Overall OK but I'm still shopping. The Frabill conservation series feel pretty well built but the one I originally bought had the smaller 3/4" mesh. A decent (12+ lb) sized pike up on Devils pushed right through it leaving a good sized hole. We got her in but it was quite the event (insert monkey and football analogy here...). I currently have two nets in the boat. A big Frabill stowable (similar to Stowmaster) in a front compartment for big fish and the EGO for anything under 15 lbs. I sure would like to go down to one but so far haven't found the solution. Long story short - Keep us posted Guy! [/QUOTE]
