Perfect for the angler needing a longer net, for use in boat or canoe. Will work well for shore fisherman also. Well designed, attractive with two tones of wood and soft netting for catch and release. I will be using mine out of a canoe and need the longer reach. Even a simple small hand net costs more than this long handled one. There is nothing not to like about this net. Its good looking, well made and very practical. Others that even come close to selling this type of net, or a custom made one charge exorbitant fees. Its hard to believe this one runs less than half the price, and that includes shipping. It comes with a lanyard on the butt of the handle and a braided thong to carry over the shoulder when not in use, or to put around wrist when netting a fish, so it is not lost.
Thanks for a great product.
