Anyone used this landing net?

Postby mmmBEER » Fri Jul 27, 2012 8:32 pm

Hi All,

Just saw this net on the BCF website: http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/prod ... escription
It's the right price, just wondering if anyone has used one? The net looks to be similar to an environet, so may not be very treble-friendly. I was thinking something along the lines of the berkley silicone net may be better?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

Hi mate I have one pretty similar to this but it's anacondas brand version so same net different label and atthe moment if you have one close they have these nets for around $12.

They are pretty treble friendly I have landed plenty of flatties with big trebles on the lures and they don't get too tangled at all and they fit big fish easily too.

Cheers Munro.

I got one over the silicon version because it was a bit deeper and protects legs better as well with flatties in them etc...the silicon one was not as deep and seemed like it would tear easily if a hook was lodged in it , where as this one even if the netting was ripped it would still be very functional...
overall rating after using it = 9/10....very versatile , small but holds big fish , easy to store on the yak...impressed
Actually the first day I used it - last week - I hooked up to a snapp and 5 mins into the fight told my mate it was the wrong day to downsize my net , in the end it handled a 65cm model very easily and made extracting the jighead and disposing of the fish a breeze compared to my old environet...

Hey mate,
