RS Nets

Yes, so much easier to remove hooks, fewer tangles, cleaner. Buy the right size and install it on your current handle/hoop.

I use a spray-on product from Walmart called Plasti Dip that puts a rubber coating on my nets and keeps hooks from penetrating the fiber. Not foolproof but helps a bunch. Rubber nets have a lot of drag when netting fish while trolling. (In my experience)

What brand/size did you use?

[cooleyfarms]

The product name is Plasti Dip and I have an 11 oz can. Looks like a spray paint can.

Sorry @cooleyfarms. I was on my phone and responded to the wrong post. But I will ask you how much weight PlastiDip adds to your net?

[cooleyfarms]

You spray it on just like a coat of paint. The whole can has 11 oz of contents so it adds about 1 or 2 ounces to the net. It makes a thin coating on the fiber. Works well for me.

I got a Promar on ebay, have had it for about 4 yrs. and it is still in excellent shape. not sure on size, you will have to measure the hoop on yours and go from there.

I ordered the Promar RN-628. It should fit...I think. Oh, and a new supply of #4 and #6 EWG trebles to replenish my supply lost to the original net.

I should mention that I had to drill out the rivets holding my hoop to the telescoping handle. After stretching and wiggling the new rubber net around the hoop, I used pop rivets to put it back together with the handle. Very easy switch.
