| What model landing net are you using? I have been using the Frabill conservation series and really like it.

Location: oswego, il | I have a frabill big game and a large catfish net which is a good musky net. I really like the thick coated bag on the frabill big game. What I really like about that big mesh thick bag is that it is stiff, fish don't roll up in it like a light mesh bag and become impossibly tangled in it. Saves time unhooking fish, less stress and less hooks cut. My catfish net had the thin coated bag and some fish could not have gator rolled themselves any tighter in it. It needs a new bag, it will get that frabill bag. |

Location: Minnesota | I am using a Beckmen pen light weight easy to Handel with one hand. My next net will be a drifter tackle predator net. Very nice net |

Location: oswego, il | Actually it depends on the bag. Thick rubber coated big mesh bag. I don't know the model number. Tight mesh and thin mesh will tangle up a musky good and can be a time consuming gator roll nightmare. Often times their head is above water. Sure I can cut hooks but the bag I mentioned above greatly reduces the release time. |

| I use the Beckmann Muskie Pen with the fin saver bag the last 15 years or so. She been great! Time for a new bag and there getting tough to find. I think I'm just going to by the new Drifter net. It looks awesome! Light and huge. Lots of good nets out there. You pay for what you get. |
