This net looks great, however, the first trip and first trout netted the netting material tore away from the frame in a 3" section. The net appears to be very convenient, but may have been a little over engineered. I would have given this net one star, but it looks too nice and that is why it got two.
I really wanted to give this one a five star rating but since I have not yet tried it on the stream, I hesitate to do so. It appears well made and the hooked handle was the feature that attached me to it.
I just switched from a vest to a fanny pack. This net is awesome for use with a pack. It is extremely light, I attached a lanyard to the net and simply hook it on my pack and go.
The William Joseph hook net is a superb innovation on a standard piece of fly fishing gear. The new hook design allows you to securely hang the net from a wading belt without the feeling of something dangling from your back. The frame is attractive, light weight, yet solid in construction. The fine mesh net material is strong and securely stitched to the frame. The overall size is large enought to land fish up to abotu 20 inches. Best of all...the price is right!
