I currently have a 17×19 Frabill Teardrop landing net with horrible blue “vinylon” mesh — it’s likes this one, but with blue vinylon instead of black poly. it gets snagged like crazy on cranks, takes 5 minutes or longer to untangle every time I catch a fish.
The handle is perfectly fine and I’d like to re-use it if possible but am not sure which replacement makes most sense:
– Amazon has 17×19 rubber replacements for $22 (Frabill’s site same thing for $34?)
– Frabill’s site has 17×19 black poly replacements for a mere $8 — is that any better than “vinylon”
– Final option is a tangle-free “heavy poly” replacement on Amazon for for $17. That’s for “up to 21×25” hoops.
Anyone have opinions? Thanks!
