I bought one of these from Dick's in the 36"x38" size.  Figured it was cheap enough why not try it out and it will be nice to have one that will store a little better.  

Has anyone found a better bag that fits this size well?  Frabill doesn't appear to have a knotless tangle free net in the 36"x38" size.  The Big kahuna bag is 40"x44".  Drifter has one that is 35"x37", but not sure if that will fit.  Rnager makes one that looks like it will fit, but has the small mesh.  Any suggestions?

frabill 4666. This net is the same size as the stowmaster TS116Y (36x38). Use the Frabill 4666 as it was intended for a 32x41 net. I have two of these nets with the 4666 net. It is the bag you want for a replacement.

zip tie the bag to the hoop at the hinge to allow it to open easier.

OK, that makes sense. I was scanning through the sizes and didn't look at the 32" nets but you are right a 32" x 41" should be about the same size. Thanks

Assuming the one from Dick's is the same net as what Frabill has on their website, it says it's a knot-less mesh netting to start with. Says nothing about tangle free though.

Knotless tangle free is the heavier mesh that comes on the big kahuna.

I have a new Frabill Power Stow 8527 net with the 36 x 38 hoop, and just replaced the net bag with the Frabil #4666 net. The new heavier net bag fits great as others have stated, and it looks like a huge improvement. Thanks for the great suggestion.

Has anyone tried the StowMaster 36 x 38 carry bag to see if it will fit this size Frabill Power Stow, and does it have enough room for the heavier #4666 bag?

The stowmaster net is the same as what came on your net. I have had both. Same bag, one has a brand tag on it

I am asking about the fit of the storage/carry bag that StowMaster makes for this size net, and is there still enough room inside after switching to the much heavier #4666 replacement net? I like the idea of the fitted storage bag to avoid tangles when traveling. Thanks.
