Got one of these - http://www.fullonfishing.co.nz/contents/en-uk/p2817_Berkley_Large_Snapper_Net.html - about 3 years ago. The net size is great but found the handle a bit too long to stow comfortably on the boat (15' tinny) so cut handle shorter. I will never go back to a string net.]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2017 16:54:29 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123105&PID=1677819&title=rubber-landing-nets#1677819 <![CDATA[Rubber landing nets : I have a McLeans net that I&#039;ve...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123105&PID=1677814&title=rubber-landing-nets#1677814 Author: OuttaHere

I have a McLeans net that I've had for maybe 15 years and the metal parts are still in great condition. I left it in the garage with a bit of bait in it and a rat ate part of the net, tied it up with braid and carried on. When the net finally gets cruddy I'll probably replace it with a rubber one, the only downside I have found is they can be very unwieldy once in the water; scooping up a kahawai that's going a bit nuts boatside can be tricky.]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2017 16:36:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123105&PID=1677814&title=rubber-landing-nets#1677814 <![CDATA[Rubber landing nets : i was looking at them also - sounds...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123105&PID=1677783&title=rubber-landing-nets#1677783 Author: Bounty Hunter

Yes spot on -  I had a look Mcleans made in Chch - very solid - cost more but worth it IMO.]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2017 10:38:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123105&PID=1677765&title=rubber-landing-nets#1677765 <![CDATA[Rubber landing nets : MacSkipper wrote: cirrus...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123105&PID=1677694&title=rubber-landing-nets#1677694 Author: Bounty Hunter

Stop picking on Smudge. The H.A.T. is smudges top secret fishing weapon.

Goes like this. Hat blows off (as intended) . H.A.T means --Hot Anchovy Treat. Next thing a 2 meter Gurnard arrives to check it out. With landing net at the ready-swish --a 2 meter Gurnard and hat landed. And all without bait.Its easy when ya try.
Some would call it a Hat-Trick

 Cant actually say this is true --so--Believe it or not.!

Now back to finding out which net to buy.

Or a smear of araldite spread around the hat band solves the problem even if it presents another, when it comes to taking it off.
