Location: Zimmerman | Looking at maybe doing a little more solo fishing this year and looking for opinions on best solo net. I have a Drifter Predator xxl and love it, but might be difficult to use by myself. |

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I had the heavy net Frabil powercatch for a year and got rid of it as it was hard to handle by myself in a wind. I went back to a Beckman net, but have upgraded the net to something just a touch heavier (clam netting) as I found the bag on the beckman does not stay open like their older fin-saver nets. My original beckman was perfect with the square mesh on the bottom....opened up perfectly like a little pen. The new netting when beckman came back out again doesn't do that...

Location: Brighton CO. | I have a Frabill Big Kauna and it is slow and hard to use by yourself and last fall I fished with a guide and he had a Clam and I asked him about the net and he reported that it was slow too. |

| I've used the Frabill Powercatch with the heavy bag for years and netted hundreds of muskies solo. Best net in my opinion. Smaller mesh nets tend to get hooks stuck in them which drives me nuts. Regardless of which net you use, solo netting muskies can be difficult at first but becomes easier the more you do it. An outdoor grip mounted to the top was a game changer for me. |
