I know Beckman was bought by P-Line, but their site was under construction last year and it still is now. I need a new net for the boat, and just wondering if anyone has been able to contact them directly and order.
I don’t have a answer to your question.
I would check with Thorne Brothers or Reeds.
A few here have gone with these. Some have claimed they are far better than the old Beckman nets.
Thanks biggill. I’ve been looking at those too. I like the custom color option. Any idea what they run price wise? I’m guessing comparable to beckman
I think you are looking at $200+. I don’t own one but I think that will be my next net.
The new Beckman website is supposed to be up and operational in February. I have a Beckman and a RSnet. Bought my RS when the basket on the Beckman wore out. The RS is not a better net, it is a different net. The Beckman is very stout for how light it is, the RS is incredibly strong and well built but is significantly heavier than the Beckman. I will be replacing my Beckman basket once they get up and running for it most definitely still has a place in my boat.
Not to be a wisenheimr but you caught so many fish the bottom of your net wore out? Where’s the secret spot?
I just received a brand new beckman Klamath net today with a 4-7 foot handle. Not sure if I can post the website but message me if you want. The place had terrible ratings but got it shipped to my door brand new for 103$! It’s awesome and can’t wait to use it
We run both Beckman and RS Nets. The Beckman like everyone says is a very good net, but the coating wore off the netting and last year made for a difficult time pulling hooks out of the net.
The old man and I both got RS Nets (Green Bay Model). They’re pretty sick nets. Heavier yes, but built to last. I don’t care how heavy the net is because I am not doing curls with it in the boat. I want it to last.
You can’t go wrong with either net, but I am sticking with the RS Nets from here on out.
Chris,
How are the bags on the RS nets at keeping hook from snagging?

I bought a new Beckmann net at Joe’s late last summer or early fall. I will say it was not the same as the old Beckmann nets but price was decent and so far I’m happy with using it in my little river/winter boat.
Last time I was at joes they didn’t have any on the floor but might be worth a call.

They have a thick coating on the netting. Which is where some of the extra weight comes from. It basically to take some strong force to stick a hook in the coating. The only thing it really gets caught in is the loops of the net. But at least I don’t have to sit and dig a hook out of the actual fibers of the netting.
