Where do you keep your net?

I have the Ego S2 Slider Net. Awesome compact rubber net and extends great!

I almost bought one of those but when I went to the tackle shop to buy it they were out of the one I wanted and I wanted one right then so I got the one I have. The S2 sliders are pretty cool tho.

Well I guess if you dont carry one you dont have to worry about storing it and taking up so much space.

No,no you don't.

This is where I store the net and bump board on my RT188. When the net handle is not extended, it lies flush with the floor.Attachment 97952

I like that to. That is a good place to keep it.

Mine is usually leaning against a wall in the garage when I really need it.

That's where my net was last spring, when my wife hooked a solid six-plus pounder and I missed trying to get LM in the boat bare-handed... I still here about that damn net leaning against the wall

Those moments are when not having a net sucks.

I have had two friends in the last year get a hook in their hand (one deep down in the middle knuckle of the thumb--ouch!!!).... It happened trying to lip a bass into the boat. That is one reason I use a net a lot of the time now and I usually keep it laying on the floor next to the seats. Another is that I think it is less stressful to the fish than wearing and tiring it out enough to grab a lip...

I do use a rubber net because I think it does less damage to the fishes slime and also is a LOT less prone to grabbing a hook.

I got a Frabill Stow net. Sits in the space right next to the drivers seat behind the throttle control.

I use crankbaits ALOT and thats one of the reasons I went with a rubber net also. Got tired of untangling the hooks from the net every time we used it.

I keep mine crossways right behind the seats in my PT 175. Fits well there and is easily accessible by the passenger, yet out of the way when running. Don't have a great pic but you can kind of see it here.

Thats a neat spot for it to. Wish I could do that none of my compartment lids are large enough.

See this topic a few times on the other forums just wondering where you all keep your net on the boat? Can be a tough item to make space for sometimes. Heres how I have mine and it has always worked pretty good. Out of the way when you dont need it and easy to grab if you do. Rides good here and doesnt move around either. Just use a short rod bungee to hold it down.

I have an Ego S2 slider and I keep mines on the back deck like in the pic but opposite side and use my rod strap to hold it down. No problems getting the treble hooks out of it and the net floats.

GMC what do you have holding the net? I think Im gonna copy your idea.

[Tommy O.]

In the rod box

I like the idea for the net but how to you get the rods out of that box? Looks awfully tight or am I missing something?

[bgjm]

I've went both ways, if you got it u don't need it, if you don't u wish u had it. so
i use it if the bass thinks he's over 5/lbs, if under i don't. i mount consol/vertical using one
household broome handle clamp,(metal or hard rubber clamp (rubber preferred -push/pull )
rubber net/ext handle ,short handle ok,long u may have to cut.partners ask for net as
wanted !

Which slider model do you have? The really short handle or the longer handle model? They make some pretty long ones.
