Hi All. I am a small stream wade fisherman asking for recommendations for a small landing net. I have avoided them in the past because they can be a PITA at times, but with the coming of an expensive rod I need to protect the rod better. Right now with my UL TSS I run my hand down the line near the lure and lift out the fish that way to take the stress off of the rod. I am looking for a lightweight shallow net that would handle 95% Pans and Crappies, with a few 10-12 in smallies and trout thrown in the mix. The hoop can be wood or aluminum, but I'm looking for small and lightweight.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and sources. I have been checking the internet, but so far didn't see anything jump out at me. Maybe a smaller manufacturer will have what I need.
Thanks,
Bob C

I bought a wooden trout net off of Amazon. Attaches to my fly vest with a spring cable and then has a set of self aligning magnets to keep it up until needed. I have it attached to the vest between my shoulder blades. Works out very well

When i get some time in the wood shop I am going to make a boat net from oak and poplar. I will order the rubber net basket to go in it. I made a stream version last year

I have a foldable Frabill net I purchased from Walmart. It's the net I carry when I creek fish for white bass in the spring.
I do know its needs to be a rubber net version to keep it simple . I fought so many regular nets in my time it aint funny

Rubber netting is supposed to be better for the fish also by not distributing the slime layer as much. Kind of a moot point on fish destined for the hot oil bath. But for those who release fish it is good
