First of all, <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>Walleyes in excess of 10lbs don’t exist
It’s a great design, that’s why I bought one but the stories of them breaking aren’t isolated. I will say that their customer service is very good. I was offered a new one but opted for a refund.
I was buying bait at Delaneys in Park Rapids last weekend and saw one one for $170! That’s a lot of jing for something I’ll only use 2-3 times a year!
On LOW in Ontario they are common. In my boat alone We caught 2 last year, 1 the year before and 3 three years ago including 2 that were caught mere feet from each other 5 minutes apart by the same guy.
The stories about them breaking may not be isolated, but like I said, dont hoist the fish over the side of the boat with the handle extended and I am sure you wont have a problem.
Are you saying $170 for an Ego net? that is nuts. I paid nowhere near that for mine.
