| I know I've seen this several times, however, I'm about to go to GanderMt. (or order from X catalog?), what musky net should I buy? | |||

Posts: 1936 Location: Eau Claire, WI | Been using Frabill nets for many years now and have been quite satisfied. The Big Game Series would be my choice... Knotless/coated bag with pleanty of room to serve as an in water livewell. The hoop, yoke, and handle offer extreme durability and will give you many years of service. You can check out Frabill products at www.frabill.com | ||

Posts: 1996 Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | The Frabill Power Catch Big Game is an awesome net. There are a couple different bag styles and sizes to choose from in the Frabill line. Make sure you get the coated catch and release bag. They are extremely easy on the fish and their fins. I use the Big Game size, some opt for the Big Kahuna. The Kahuna is the ultimate big fish catch and release net, but if you are going to fish alone at all you may want to size down to the Big Game for ease of handling solo. | ||

Posts: 71 Location: Waukesha, WI | I use a Frabill Power Catch with the heavy rubber coating on the bag. They sell a Power Catch with a lighter net, still rubber coated. Because it is lighter, it is cheaper. Don't buy this one if you are going to net a fish under 35 inches. A 30-32 inch musky can swimn partway through the bag. It can't get its' stomach through and you can back it out because of its' gills. | ||

Posts: 1430 Location: Eastern Ontario | Did anyone tell you to get a Frabill yet? I just got a new kahuna as my Kwick Kradle was just worn out. What a great product that netting is, I only remember but one hook getting caught after hundreads of netted fish. I would recommend any of their big game nets for muskies. | ||

Posts: 1335 Location: Chicago, Beverly | I only use the Beckman(got 3, walleye, northern and Husky Musky), and after using someone elses Fin Saver Beckman last week may have to get one of those bags for mine.. I suppose with all the good reviews both get you can't go wrong with either. | ||

Posts: 880 Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | For my birthday my wife bought a Beckman Muskie net. The net was deep but the hoop was small. I took it back and bought the Power Catch, extra large hoop and $20.00 cheaper. | ||
