| Hello,
I have an old net with a knotted bag that I haven't used for years. I've heard that uncoated knotted bags can be hard on fish, especially their eyes. I've noticed that many newer nets have rubber coated bags. Does anyone know if there is a product I could use to coat the bag of this net to make it easier on the fish?
Thanks. |

Location: Land of the Musky | If Plastidip works that is real easy as it comes in a can. Can get it at most Wal-Marts for about $5-$6 a can. Comes in a lot of colors plus clear. Works great on your wheels for winter!! Then in summer you peel it off and your wheels are super clean! |

I'm guessing the dip in the can would work better than spray, would probably take a couple cans. It would be messy... |

Location: Oregon, WI | I have done this and it is messy! I have a beckman net and when I heard they were going out of business, I bought a replacement net. Unforturnately, when it came time to replace the old net with the new replacement net a year later, I hadn't noticed the new net wasn't coated. I didn't have the receipt anymore so I couldn't return it. I used plastic-dip or a similiar product and thinned it some per the manufacturer's recommendations. |

| I use Liquid Tape. You can find it at Home Depot in the electrical area. It is basically electricians black electrical tape in a can for coating connections. I did it outside on a windless day this fall to a Beckman net. It worked great ! No mess ! |
