Super User Darth-Baiter Posted April 11, 2021 Super User Posted April 11, 2021 I thought I lost my net. It was on the neighbor ’s hedges. I left it there when I hosed out my kayak. Duh. I ordered a replacement, and then while it was coming in the mail - I found my net! anyways. I gather parts. My friend had a lot of scrap aluminum tubing. He hooked me up. I hate the thought Of spreading invasive things, so I sealed it off from water and filled the handle with foam. I WISH I had the lime yellow handle wrap, but no - BLUE/BLACK. I think it looks okay. this new one is better than my old one simply for the fact the handle isn’t as girthy. It will fit the Yak-Attack paddle holder. now to slide a giant bass into it 4 Quote
GTN-NY Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 I did the same with my net that’s like yours. I trying to find a pure rubber net to replace the rubber coated stock net that I keep getting treble hooks stuck in Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 12, 2021 Global Moderator Posted April 12, 2021 I'm planning on doing the same with mine but with PVC. Quote

Going fishing. ‘’But it floated before and I added an alum tube filled with foam wrapped in tape that floats. The math works out. My other net that is heavier and uses PVC floats. Quote
