    I’ve got an older Frabil Power Catch w/power yoke net with an extending/collapsible handle that I really like, BUT I really HATE the net.

    It’s a coated, knotted, braided type net that was supposed to be “hook proof”, but it’s anything but.

    AND if you get a hook stuck in the net it’s a bear getting it out.

    Net hoop looks to be 25″ wide by 30″-32″ long teardrop style.

    Need a new net bag for this season.

    Was thinking flat bottomed rubber if I can find one that size.

    ANY other recommendations??

    Thanks

    Before I clicked my brain said Beckman.

    26×34 coated or uncoated or rubber. If it was me I would call and talk to them.

    I switched to rubber about 25 years ago and love them . Seldom does the hook go through the rubber. My opinion is they are better on fish for releasing. Mine are heavily used and I have a few loops that have given way. Ty-wrap and back n business

    I’m a rubber net guy too because I don’t like digging hooks out of nets.

    Like Randy says, they’re easier on fish too. I’ve bought them at Cabela’s in the past. I’m not sure there is a best replacement bag but there are lots of them online.

    Ranger Nets just came out with a new replacement bag that looks like a rubber net but feels like plastic and is way lighter than a rubber net. I am a plug puller and had a chance to use it this weekend and hands down the best net I have ever used. They(Ranger nets) make a good telescoping handle but I put this on a Beckmann handle and the combo is awesome! They won’t sell directly to the public so have to get them via a retailer. I got mine at Runnings.
