    Several guys I know use them. They are heavier than most nets of the same length. I have a 12' Dotline and I adjust it to the right length "shorten it" and set the net part under the middle seat when it's folded down and then use the rod strap to tie down the handle up on the bow.

    I bought an extendable Ego net earlier this year. Haven't caught a crappie big enough that would make me want to risk losing it by going to get the net. When I get rigging more I will for sure have it handy. The rubberized net makes it more bulky, but there won't be the issue with hooks getting caught up in the net as bad-especially with double hook rigs.

    Silly me. I just screwed a trout net on the end of a extending paint pole.

    Screws?! You're really going the extra mile there, Jeff. But, you know what they say.....

    The Ego Slider is an excellent idea but not very well constructed, I have a Crappie Masters Net that I use but it is a 2 man operation, heavy and stout enuff that it makes an excellent push pole as well!!!

    If fishing alone a lot get the EGO reach. A lot lighter and easier to handle.
