Dip net
I have searched and I am surprised to find nothing on this topic! I am trying to find a good replacement dip net and want some advice. The current one I have has a telescopic handle - twist to extend, twist to lock. Problem is one section won't lock. The handle slides in and out and also rotates at will.
I am needing an extendable net again. I like pulling/trolling jigs and would like something that is not like a drift sock in the water while I am moving would be nice.
Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!

An inexpensive wooden handle crab net, like you can get in convenience stores near the coast, works well. I have a 6 footer that I wrapped tape around the handle, and it works great. Light. No hooks get caught in netting. Netting is fairly open (about like chicken wire) that easily sweeps through the water with little drag. Wooden handle even floats! You can spend a lot of $ for an extendable handle, but I prefer my $5.99 variety.

Unfortunately so can I! I lost two of "these nets" last spring (my own clumsiness) but that didn't stop me from replacing them with an identical one off Amazon. Lightweight, best net I've ever used for crappie BUT I wish they would remove "and it floats" from their advertising FOREVER!Originally Posted by SeaRay

Guys here is one I bought at JCs Outdoors several years ago. It is 6.5 ft. closed and 11 ft extended. I added a piece of swim noodle so it does float.
Very lightweight and about $20 when I got it.

To make a net float, you can also squirt Great Stuff expanding foam inside the handle. Works best on non extending aluminum handles.

I replaced my broken Ego net with the same Cummings net like Searay has. I did take the rubber net from the Ego and put it on my Cummings. BTW, the Cummings is a very light net to handle.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
