[bman90278]

Looking great Greg. I can tell the people here in these forums they wouldn't believe how much work goes into making a net like that. Definitely a labor of love.

Are you going to mark that net as a Wingnut Special Edition 1/1 ?

[Mondo21]

That's one beautiful net. Hey WingNut the kiddie pole is still going strong,uh?! Beautiful Trout. How is WingNut Pug? Cindy:Big Grin:

[exfactor]

I was hoping to see another alpiers in the net like last year. And a hali might be pushin it a little. He should make a business out of this thread.

[Which Way Out]

Wingnut do you really need a net ? The rumor is when the fish hear your coming they just jump in your car after a quick photo session.. lol:UDaMan:

[TroutOnly]

HEY GM WHERES MY STRIPER NET I ORDERED,DAMN IT ,,,LOL,,,SWEET NET GM,,,,,,,,,,,,t/o,,,,,,,,,,

[lalo56]

Nice net. Hey, whats the 2 ends for? the 2 wooden ends, magnitized? Is that just to carry it?

Thanks

[Greg Madrigal]

Thanks for posting the pics Arthur! I love the one with the brown!

For those asking, the teak wooden thingies are a magnetic latch. So, you would attach the blue carabiner to the D-ring on the back of your vest, then hang the net off that. Fish as normal, then after catching a fish, reach back to grab the net and a sharp tug breaks the magnetic pull and you net your fish. To return to your back, simply dangle the net overhead and behind your back. These rare earth magnets are so strong taht they "find" each other and snap back into place. It's Pretty cool and very convienent/functional.
I guess I need a you tube video huh?

T/o, you'll get your boat net when I say you get your boat net! LOL!!
