Location: Kodiak, AK | A lot of things come into play: available space in your boat, price, folding hoop or not, etc...
My take on it is if you're fishing with someone, Big Kahuna. If you're fishing alone, Big Game. And the Big Game is plenty of net if you're fishing with someone else, but the point is, the Kahuna isn't easily manageable by yourself, one-handed. The Big Game works fine solo. |

I used to have a large Beckman but I went with this net (frabil 9530) a few years ago, it is very light so a young person can handle it or it can be handled solo too. We have put lots of fish in it and some good ones too and it has held up very well.
I will buy another one if something happens to this one.

| if you have the space, i cant say enough good things about the drifter xxl. it's like an aquarium on the side of the boat. it swallows everything and the netting is perfect. I can quickly unhook a fish and let it simmer for a minute down there while we get ready for a quick pic and release. Haven't had a problematic release ever since. |

| Love my Stowmaster for the hoop and storage, but the bag tangles way too much. I bought a xxl drifter bag to put on it, but haven't put it on yet. That will be happening this week. I will post an update for how that turns out once I get it on the hoop. |

| I like my Frabil 9530.
Light and easy to use for the solo angler and when my kids help out...

| I like Ranger, you can get some really hugh nets with the basket type bottom that are rubberized for catch and release.

When my Beckman dies I'll be getting the drifter XXL
If you go from a Beckman to a XXL Drifter, you will be shocked at the size difference. I use a Beckman now and my buddy has the XXL Drifter and that thing is HUGE compared to the Beckman. When my Beckman dies, I'm going with the XL drifter. Still bigger I think, but can be handled alone if need be. |
