This months entry is one of the most overlooked
items in the fisherman's boat, a landing net. Many tournaments
have been won and lost due to the net, lack of net or net
job. To me the net is as important as sharp hooks or super
strong line. I often see anglers trying to net big bass
with little trout nets. Netting a big bass with a tiny net
is
like bringing a bb gun to a gun fight. On a recent outing
I toured the Loki Net Company with some friends. I was
like a kid in a candy store. So many sizes and shapes to
choose
from. At the end of our tour I asked the owner if it was
possible to custom build the ultimate net for me. He agreed
and we came up with a net that is the right size and will
last for years. David Stair from Loki Nets is a true pioneer
in building quality landing nets. Loki has been in business
since 1965 and prides themselves with making their products
in the U.S.A.. Loki Nets are practical and most of all
durable.
There
are two nets that I will suggest as the ultimate tool for
landing bass:
The first net choice is TECH7SHF with the
double telescope handle. This net will store easily in
most bass boats and
is great for average size tournament fish.
The second net
is the TECH8SHF for larger tournament bass on lakes like
Amistad and Clear Lake. The 8 series net is
the ultimate net for landing big bass. This net is big
but it could make the difference when scooping up trophies.
