I just had to try something else. These nets are a by-product of my fishing and woodworking habits. All have waterproof (spar urethane) finish and new rubber nets that are suppose to be easier on the fish. I've noticed that most of the fish I land become unhooked by themselves once in the net-perfect! I seldom have to touch a fish at all (not that I'm squeamish or anything). And the barbless hooks never get caught up in the rubber netting.  I seldom catch anything big enough for a net but I think they do look good hanging around.
The hoops are about 10 1/2" by 15 1/4" I.D and roughly 23" to 30" overall length. The average weight is just around 16 0z give or take, so they are light enough to carry on the stream or pack in to remote locations. Round to oval handles are a more comfortable grip than rounded edges on square stock.

Net pricing from $350 to $450. Contact me for more info and customizing
This is a nice steelhead caught by Lee Orr and landed using one of my nets. Nice to know they actually work on a fish that needs a net. Just wish it was my fish. (notice the sweet bamboo rod-made by Lee).
