Anyone ever use these? Any feedback? Anyone have one that they are not using?
Thanks

I don't use them. They are't really that effective and are pretty hard on the fish that you do manage to catch. The best tool depends on what you are trying to catch. The nets made of clear plastic with fine screen on the bottom are the best choice for small, delicate creatures. The nets with small monofilament mesh are best for catching larger, faster fish.

Like PDAlber said, it's a pretty traumatic experience on the fish. Definitely nets are the best tool. try to get the net that is half mesh and half clear plastic bag, those normally have good success and are easier to use.

They pull the fish in backwards and tend to tear the soft tissue of the gills on the fish that are pulled in.

Thanks for the replies. I will avoid this approach.
