Amazon.com : Rubber Fishing Net with Telescoping Handle - Silicone Fish Nets for Fishing, Aluminum Alloy Landing Net, Telescoping Handle and Rubber Net, Maximum Load 20 Pounds : Sports & Outdoors Got it three weeks ago with 20% off. While it is a little on the heavy side, it telescoped to the perfect length for my kayak endeavors. But best of all is the rubber net. I fish a bucktail with a teaser above it and for years would literally spend a few minutes after each netted fish untangling the hooks from those mono or nylon nets. Four fluke worthy of netting in the past three weeks and not a snag !

not often enough ! But it is virtually snagproof at least. Wish the hoop was a little wider but 99% of the fluke I catch won't challenge it, lol.I first used one on Lep's boat and went out and bought one. They are great. Just make sure you have a gaff handy for the ones that don't fit 🙂

even the 26" I caught two weeks ago fit (just !) but I really adhere to my "bare bones" mantra kayak fishing. (No bicycle pedals, no electronics except a cell phone, no unnecessary "stabilizers", no rudder, nothing but Gulp! or a livelined snapper for bait.) I may not catch much most days but I definitely give the quarry a fighting chance, lol !

Pretty sure its full rubber. Hasn't gotten sticky yet. Of course in my case it is only exposed to the sun from about 7:30 AM to 11 or 11:30 AM at the latest. Unfortunately it has also only been dunked four times, lol. I just kayak fish in the morning.

Oh. No, I use what was known on the old website as a "Lep rig" (thanks again Pete) with a dressed lead bucktail and a Gulp! and a dressed hook and Gulp! teaser 15" above it on a dropper loop. The leader they are on has a barrel swivel and that is clipped to a breakway "paper clip" tied to the braid. Fish and the rig easily come out with no snagging at all, at least so far. Hopefully next late spring when I typically catch more fish I will see no change. Far too many days before I got this net saw me drift 200 yards before untangling the whole mess.
