Mesh & Rubber

[Jigboy]

I am going to purchase one of those Ego fishing nets for crappie fishing. I have a choice between two types. One is the old fashioned mesh types that we all grew up with and the only type I have ever used. The other is a rubber type net. It cost a little more money but my question is, is it worth it? I have never used it. What are the benefits? Help....

your hooks and hooks on crank baits wont get tangled up as bad with a rubber net

I purchased the mesh style net when they first came out. It's a great net, however; now that I troll crankbaits I'd much rather have the rubber style.

Jigboy,
Go with the rubber.Alot better with the hooks.I got one awhile back and really love it.The only down fall I found( not much) is the pole is really cold on your hands in cold weather.Overall a super net!

I went with the rubber net. The wife ordered me one today for a Valentines present. I told her that it would be a perfect gift to go with her present from me. A trip to Rough River if the weather warms up on Saturday. I think it is the perfect present. Fishing with me, and I great dinner to go with it, bologna, mayo, and cheese sandwiches followed up with a cold orange crush drink. Is there anything more romantic? Nothing makes a sandwich taste better then a little crappie slime on the fingers. See you guys in divorse court.
