They don't get much cheaper than this:

Saw this net, too.

I use a net because I can't handle the fish, and it's of a good size. Sure would be a bummer to have a beautiful 'nook break through what is acknowledged in the ad as an old net. You'd not only not have a lost fish, but would still have to buy new netting to fix that old net, or just chuck the old net (which you'd probably do because you'd be so pi--ed off).

At that point it sure seems like it would be worth the $20-25 to get a new one . . . heck, that's almost just one pizza or two haircuts. Worth it to get new, to me.

Just an observation.

....thanks Rory. I've landed 100s of salmonoids with my $1 garage sale net, but its always nice to have a backup.

Right on Little Fish!

You're wise enough to realize it isn't how much you pay for your gear that makes you a good fisherman--it's what you do with it!
