I have a frabil net that needs the bag replaced on it. I seem to be splitting a lot of tail fins with the crappy bag on it now and want to buy a replacement that will help prevent this. I'm leaning towards a beckman finsaver bag, but would like some suggestions. I've checked frabil's website and can't seem to find any that would help. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The fin saver bags are nice but nothing beats a wide hoop and a deep bag. Those fish start to split there fins when the space gets a little tight in the bag. Go deep.

Last fall, my son and I struggled to net his 44" muskie - the net had a 24" hoop and a 30" deep bag. Yeah, that was scary and we almost lost that fish 3 separate times and I just about went swimming once.

So, this spring on the way to the lake, we stopped into Fleet Farm to pick a few things - one of them was a Frabill "Big Kahuna" Musky Net. I knew it was a big net when I was is the store, but when I lifted the boat cover to slide it onto the deck, I wasn't expecting it to take THAT MUCH SPACE. I don't think landing big fish will ever be a problem again unless someone breaks a leg tripping over the Big Kahuna in the process.

Bruce I was fishing in the PMTT down at cave run a couple years ago and watched what a small net will do for you. I was fishing back in Warix on a weed bed and a this dude came trolling by me and then he hooked up.After a short battle he had what looked like a 43" 44" incher in the net. The only thing was the fish was hanging half way out of the net. I couldnt believe my eyes this guy was fishing for twenty five thousand dollars or so and had a walleye net. On the radio I hear need a judge in warixs, then it happened the fish jumped out of the net. I felt bad for those guys but what were they thinking. My mouth was watering just looking at that fish and it was gone faster than it appeared. Im guilty of small nets also because I fish alot from a 14 ' boat in wv in the many small rivers and creeks, but my net is deep. When fishing the big water in the big boat the big net comes out. Space in a small boat is very hard to come by so if space is big problem go deep,
