these nets come with the handle that extends from 29" to 60". but i wanted the 48" to 108" handle they have. so i contacted them and said i would give up my warrenty if they would sell me the large net on the 48" handle, and they agreed to sell me one. it costed 119.99 plus 10.00 for shipping.

the reasom they dont sell the large net with the long handle they are afraid people might use them for salmon and try to lift a big king with the handle fully extended. and there just not designed to lift this much weight. i never try to lift a fish with the handle anyway. i always pull the fish up behind the boat and then lift it in.

i just wanted to let you know how you can get the long handle if you think thats what you want. but for most people the 60" handle is going to be plenty long enough. good luck and good fishing in 2013.
