Thread: Dip net

I'm assuming you mean it is heavy with the "pull in the water" analogy. Makes me think it's a different net because mine is very lightweight. However if you get a decent size fish in a net extended 12' away from you it will feel very heavy. I rarely ever extend it beyond the 6' length.

My Cummings is the lightest I could find. Adding the rubber netting made it a bit heavier but it was nothing near as heavy as my Ego net was. If you find something that reaches out there that is much lighter then please post it. I'd certainly be interested.

I mean the net itself has a lot of resistance in the water. Hard to control it with the boat moving 1 mph and a fish moving around. The one I have passes right through the water like a hot knife through butter. The weight of both is fine.

SeaRay, my uncle has that same net (minus the float) and it will about pull you in the water when landing a fish. Other than that, I do like it. Change that like was already stated and it would be perfect.

Brett, not looking to use it other than landing a crappie at the surface. Not chasing fish under the boat like bass, catfish, or stripper fishing. Just need the length to reach the "lane" between the lines where the fish is coming in. I got other nets for those adventures.

Love the input folks!

Would you ever need it at 20-30 ft because some nets float deeper than others

Jenko is the lightest net on the market. Depending on which net material you chose they weigh between 16 and 19 ounces. Pretty sure they extend to 12ft. There is a good video on youtube by the guy that designed it. I will have one on my boat this year.

Are you pushing or pulling? I always pull and just let my net ride on top of the water until the fish over the rim of the net.

I use a "crab" net from a tourist shop at the beach.

I have the same one as Sea Ray. I drilled another hole in between the 2 holes to shorten it up some. I have 2 of them, if it broke for some reason I would get another one tomorrow. I like the noodle on it will add one to mine this weekend
