hey Mike, i really like the MacLain weigh net
(with the bag replaced for a much 'friendlier' rubber-coated mesh)
it's cool to finally have an idea of how much they weigh as opposed to just length.
however, the frame itself isn't all that important, it's the bag.
40-50cm deep
wide configuration of the bottom (no pointy towards the bottom type thing that forces the fish's head to the bottom, scratches their eyes and the gills get caught in the net when pulled out
)
rubber or rubber coated ! fish loose a lot less slime (and it doesn't stay on the net ! no stink !), the fish can easily slide out if you do a 'dip-the-net-release', flies don't get stuck, dries right away and rubber is
sexy ! it's all good !
cheers,
marc
