>>2574534Replying from previous thread, thanks for the tip! Used a largish foam grasshopper and caught this one today. Extreme pain in the ass to land by myself with 4x tippet in pic related net. I had one on earlier but it broke off as I was trying to hand line it in at the end, one head shake just clean broke off the fly without the protection of the bendy end of my rod since the line was in my hand. Crunched down the barb so hopefully able to free itself. Wore pic related down for a longer time before trying to hand line it into the net.
Any recommendations for a larger net? This thing was like $25 on amazon and has proved super dependable but I think I need to upscale if I keep going after carp in my neighborhood pond. Please keep it cheap because the net I have is a quarter of the cost of similar nets with a rubber mesh and it has yet to fail, so I doubt I need some of those retarded $200+ nets.
