Salmon nets?

[geoice]

What size do most you guys have for salmon/laker nets? Need to get a bigger one for our boat

[Firechief48]

I'm carrying 2 as most do. 1 is 42"x36" with a 7' handle. The other is smaller at 30"x24" with a 5' handle. I usually use the larger for salmon but have had times where we netted 2 at once and the smaller one worked also.

Thank u

I use the Beckman net. Extendable. Goes out to 12 ft. Makes a big difference

X2 on the Beckmann. Mostly muskies might have a sale soon. That's where I got mine.

The extendable nets are nice-and they stow nicely too

Get a small loop size of the netting itself, its a lot easier on the fish if you are releasing, rubber coated even beter

Beckman is no more, by the way.

Look into the "Ranger " salmon net, awesome extendible net! - captain Bobs in clarence ny has a few difrent selections in stock

I bought a ranger last year it has been a very good net.

[Poles293]

I have a large Ranger (34" hoop?) for salmon and the same net with a 25" hoop for early season Browns and walleye. Extendable 7' pole, hexagon pole and rubber coated net.

There's one for sale on the classifieds right now, extendable handle like the smaller one I have and not a bad price.

Used to have a Ranger, loved that one. I now have a Cummings and a Beckman.  The Beckman would be my 3rd choice.

Beckman net with 10 ft extendable pile. I thing the opening is like 40" or so. For some big fish it's still a little small. Lol.

Yeah I need a bigger hoop..I have a 5ft extendable pole...just looking to upgrade before May

I took my extendable west marine boat hook and removed the hook. I then took the spring/pin from my favorite net and installed it into the end of the boat pole. It is super strong and extends out way farther then I will ever need. It also was a perfect fit.

We use Cummins nets that we get from Slippery Sinker. We put them through hell, and they last a few years. I love the big hoop on them. The Beckmans are heavy and I'm not a fan of the round tube handle, but that's just me. Other people seem to love it.

Ditto, what Rich said, about both the Cummins and the Beckman nets.

What ever net you get put a clip on the handle to hold the net tight to the handle, then the weight of the fish releases it. Helps to get the fish IN the net
