Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-12-2009 So I have been catching some huge fish-yeah right !!![] Anyways-what do you guys think about marnetic net release for the net. I would like to use it on my backpack/vest. Im not sure if it would be better to mount it on the handle or the top of the net. I have see it done both ways. What do you think ? [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - Dryrod - 11-12-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Have my magnetic net release mounted to the handle. Although I seldom use a net as I prefer to release the fish while in the water. That is one of the benefits of using barb-less hooks. Oh yeah I never use a net for skunks. lol[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - flygoddess - 11-12-2009 To the top of the net. Easier to reach around and grab the handle. But I also Have a leash attached to the handle and to my belt. They can fall off in the brush and you will never know it. [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-12-2009 I dont use the net that much but I have lost some very nice fish due to not having net. Also I tought that it maybe better for the fish not to touch them with my hands. Also I want to replace my net with one of those low "impact" , fish friendy net. Peter [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-12-2009 Yeah, I was wondering about those leashes. That magnet Im looking at is 7lb strong. Is that good? Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - flygoddess - 11-12-2009 I am sure it is.

Ebay-$6.49 plus $ 1.60 shipping. [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - macfly55 - 11-12-2009 is that just the magnetic release or the relase and the leash Fg mentioned.??? ..and where are you getting it from?? MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - flygoddess - 11-12-2009 That leash is to clip on clothing. They are good but I don't trust them. Clip one ring right to the back of your back pack. Should be a ring for it. The other end you will have to figure out way to hook it to the top of the net if that is the way you want to go, or clip the ring right to the eye bolt at the base of your net. That leash is fine, clip it to a collar or something incase a branch pulls the net off. The leas I am talking about is longer. A zinger is also nice. Once you pull the net off your back to land a fish the leash is out of the way. You can now let go of your net while cradling the fish and not worry about it sinking or floating away.

It and the magnetic release are both attached to my back collar ring on my vest.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [macfly55] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-13-2009 Its what you see in that picture and its from Ebay. Hope this helps. Peter [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-13-2009 Hm, thank you for your input FG. Im starting to get the full picture. Would you have a picture of your net setup? If not no big deal. Thank you again. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - Dryrod - 11-13-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]T[size 3]his is the net that I have been carrying. Can check what insects are swimming about and it is just the right size for the fish that I usually catch. lol[/size][/#008000][/font] [inline ftn.jpg] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-13-2009 hahaahhaaaaaaaaa[] Yeah, thats just about the right size for my kinda fish too. Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - flygoddess - 11-13-2009 Sorry I don't but I will get one. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-13-2009 Oh, you the best ! Thank you girl [] [signature] Re: [peter805] Magnetic Net Release - flygoddess - 11-13-2009 I do have to tell you, my net is a custom made and it has a magnet built into the wood. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Magnetic Net Release - peter805 - 11-13-2009 Wow , I really need to see that magnet deal for sure ! I have couple of ideas how to make that magnet stay up there without the magnet moving all over the place. What they sell on the market is all loose kinda magnet attachment and I don't think that will work very well. What do you think ? [signature]
