After 7 years, my beckman muskie net is looking real tired. I've repaired a few holes with twist ties and electrical tape :/ the handles bent, the grips gone, etc... so I'm looking for a good coated or fin saver muskie net. Like many of us, I fish alone 80% of the time, so a "light", good long net that allows me to net fish with one hand is important to me. Any one else need a net and is there a chance we can put a club order together and maybe get a discount?

Check out the drifter predator series light. I got one and love it. It's light enough to use solo and has withstood some pretty aggressive fish so far. Side note: the bag that comes with the net isn't the greatest, I recommend upgrading to the predator xl bag.

Thanks Justin. I really appreciate the recommendation and the insights on the bag. If we can't get a club order in that sounds like they type of net I need.

We can check with Drifter this fall regarding nets, but they're not the easiest to work with. Followup on musky club orders are not the greatest. Beckman nets may be returning and there might be some possibility there in the near future for club orders.

That is a great point Silvia that I forgot to mention, but you are 100% correct that the customer service at drifter it very poor. Now that I think about I waited almost 2 months to get my net because they needed to "dip bags". After many unanswered emails and empty promises over the phone I was told the bags were finally being dipped and that I would be contacted the second it shipped out. Well I never did get contacted. Luckily getting a replacement bag wasn't nearly as difficult.
