Default Replacing Old Fishing Net

Heading out this weekend to replace my old net used for walleyes and pike, in a boat or used on shore while river fishing. It has that blue Nylon mesh and I am looking for a replacement.


Wondering if anyone has one of those Lucky Strike Black handled telescopic nets, that have that Stretchy Rubber Mesh. Curious to know how durable they are, and how they handle the fish over the other nets. Also notice Rapala has some sort of pop out/fold out net

I have used one of those rubber nets for years. They are the best net out there IMO.

The hooks don't get tangled and caught and it is easier to release the fish.

If a person has to net then that is the net to use. I usually just try and release beside the boat, but when that is not possible then those rubber nets at the way to go.

I have used a rubber net for a long time also. I have found them very user friendly and fish friendly compared to the old nylon or whaterver style. I have a lucky strike, not the one you mentioned but mine has held up for 3 years now, better than any net previously.
good luck

Ya that net is great...keeps the fish from getting all muddy at the shore line. You should see the net I have from salmon fishing on the great lakes, its 3 times that size
