Buy a Frabil. Best nets made hands down.

I really like the net bag on the drifter net. They hand dip them, and it results in a slimmer profile. Still plenty of protection for the fish's fins, but should move through the water better than the frabill bag does. i think it's a great looking net, but not worth me selling my frabill to buy one.

It will go really nice with your new sea skiff.
maybe your boy will give you a free salt water bag to go along with that "made for saltwater" boat

I have a frabil power catch and just want to go up in size. I looked at the drifter net and it seems awesome I was just looking for someone who has used it.

I was impressed enough to buy a drifter net yesterday at the Mn. Muskie expo. It seems very well built and was recommended to me by our favorite Vermilion Muskie guide. In fact he told me he'll be using one on his boat this year.

The only ones I can find on-line have the "T" handle, mine is the traditional straight handle.

If anyone knows where there is more information on these nets, please let me know.

BTW, I also own the Frabill "Large Walleye" folding net, which I also like, but the net on the Drifter seems exceptional. I am not able to compare this net with Frabill's 4666 net, but the drifter has the flat bottom net just like the "Big Game" Power Catch.
