| Sorry Hooker I do not have that the Edge Series in a two piece.
I take it you had a good season with your two piece Diamondback.

How deep is the new stowmaster?
I actually got to put like the first 8 fish in that stowmaster Slamr has. The net diameter and depth of the bag is plenty deep enough. All I can say is wow, I had my doubts with it, but I am totally sold after using it this past fall. Also, if there is any doubts about not being big enough, well, I put Cowboyhannah's 50 inch fish in that net without a problem! That would be the fish on the home page of this site. |

I would HIGHLY recommend this net! I was borrowing Steve Worrall's 1690 tiller this past fall because my Tuffy got sold for the year, and that net came in really handy because it saved so much space. I would definitely tell you to take a look at it, I don't think you would be disappointed! Highly recommend it.

yes,, I loved the 2 piece it is a dream to cast and hold and the two pieces makes it so you dont have to plan your turns like a semi driver when moving from truck to boat to resort,,gonna be hard for me now to buy any rod 8ft or over thats not 2 piece |

| I'm sure the biggggger bladed bucktails will be a big deal at the shows.
those Okuma's look nice but word of caution on that particular power handle..I had what looks to be just about the same power handle for a Penn 975 and that metal handle was hard to hold / grip when wet and was not very easy to hold in cold weather it got worse. thought about putting something sticky on it like some rod wrap tape and just got rid of it and went back to the stock penn power handle..much easier to hold onto...just my opinion on that type of metal / round handle. Look like a nice reel though and have been happy with the quality in my Convectors. |

Taquila - The Red Isis will only be available in right hand models.
Depressing...when is someone going to start making better LH reels??  Not that I'm complaining about the ones I normally get but we don't get nearly as many options. I'm RH but need my good arm for power and coordination! LOL |

| Wow. Nice job on pulling my post about the stowmaster. Someone asked about the net, and I gave my honest personal experiences. I gave the pluses and minuses (My experience again) of the product. To pull something like that is heavy handed and not appreciated. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | This thread is about new products at the 2008 Muskie shows, and not about rating them or complaining. I'm on the phone this morning with Stowmaster, and will have the owner there send you a PM as a courtesy to you both. Besides, you were comparing a completely different model to the new model. |

Location: Albert Lea, MN | Hi MuskyStalker,
Sorry to hear about a problem with your net. We did have a few that the crimper didn't compress the hinge enough. Sounds like like you got one.
All StowMaster's have a lifetime warranty, and we take it very seriously.
We would be happy to make your net right.

Location: WESTERN WI | Looking forward to listening to Dick Pearson, coming out of retirement for a good cause "operation muskie" I hope he has the film clip of a BIG fish that follow a walk the dog bait, Pearson stops the bait and 18 seconds later the bait is slurped up by the fish and the water erupts. Can't Wait! |

They will probably kick you out once you mention who sent you...... |

Thank you Matt and Steve. Any time a manufacturer takes the time to personally make things right is the mark of a good company. Not many take the time to do that. |
