RS Nets
Has anyone replaced the net on a RS Net 'Kelly's Island' model with an all rubber bag? I like the sturdiness of the RS handle and hoop, but I'm so tired of ruining hooks that go through the net material. I must have replaced a half dozen trebles on Friday.

Re: RS Nets
I have major problems with nets.. the trebles from the bandits get all embedded in the net.. Lose lots of fishing time..so rubber nets are the answer????

Re: RS Nets
I think they have their own issues but being able to take an embedded hook out has to be less effort.

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

Re: RS Nets
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)

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

Re: RS Nets
I purchased a ranger tangle- free triple dipped rubber coated net for my frabil hoop. Haven’t had a hook caught in the webbing yet. I pull bandits. It’s a time saver. It’s pretty deep too. Not heavy like those all rubber bags.
Picked it up from net raft for $32.

Re: RS Nets
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?
