I have the net also and it works great!! Rubber net keeps the hooks from gettin stuck and the slide handle makes it nice so u can reach the fish that just don't want to get in thd boat, but will also fit out of the way so u rnt trippin over a 8' net handle! Also from experience DO NOT lift fish in the boat or up through thd water with the handle extended fully. It will go from a smooth slider to a impossible slider. The net can be fixed easy enough by puttin pressure in the opposite direction as to bend the handle back to straight. The best thing to do is get the fish in the net and PULL the fish towards the boat and once thd handle is retracted all the way then lift! I don't kno if its necessary but once in a while we spray thd slideing parts with WD 40.... And yes it does float... After we bought my dad says a floating net huh? Well let's see if it does and sure enough he threw it overboard ... And yes it floated
I bought ours on amazon.com for $85.00 free shipping ! Not sure if its still same price but look into it! Better than $120....
Can't wait to see you all on thd water!!
