Greetings,

I purchased a Beckman Net for musky fishing about 25 years ago. This net was made when the business was located in Fitchburg, WI. I understand that Beckman's newly manufactured replacement net bags are not designed to fit "legacy" Beckman nets.

I had a fish punch a hole in the side of my net last week. Some zip ties got me through the week. I very much like this net, and would like to install a replacement bag. Has anyone come up with a source for replacement bags for legacy Beckman nets?

Many thanks and kindest regards....

I was sort of wondering the same thing and this sort of goes with this question. I had my net walk out of my boat at a hotel a few years back. I found a Beckman net in Walker MN, but would like a fin saver bag to match up with it. Any ideas or info would be awesome.

Get the Drifter Predator replacement bag- the smaller one is XL and should fit.

I have an older Beckmann full net. Don’t really use anymore because too heavy for fishing alone. I’m near Gurnee Mills. PM me if you’d like to buy.

I agree with Rudedog. I bought the Drifter replacement bag in XL and worked perfectly. Still love the old Beckmann net!

I have a green hooped Beckman. Has holes in it. Can't find my replacement bag anywhere
In the last two weeks I've called Beckman and always get a voicemail. Left 4 messages now, I have Emailed twice now and have got no response.
Very poor customer service, if there is any....

Back in the 90's when you bought a Beckman net, Mr. Beckman owned the company since then they been sold and sold and sold. I don't know who owns them now. At one time I think Lindy owned them at one time I think they were off the market.
