Muskie Nets

Post by Rich McVey » Wed Jun 18, 2008 11:45 am

What is the best net for Tiger Muskie? Size, shape, material....

I'd hate to injure one with the net I currently have and I'm pretty sure any thing over 24in will not fit safely in it.

Hey, Rich: You can't go wrong with either of these two companies:

Beckman: http://beckmannet.com/acatalog/Pen_Fin_Saver_Nets.html

or

Frabill: http://www.muskyshop.com/modules/cart/p ... eckmanNets

They don't come cheap, but neither does a muskie. The "Pen" style lets the musky rest safe while you get the camera ready and the special coating is a must unless you want to spend hours getting a hook out of netting material.
It protects the fish, too.
my 2 cents

Tiger Muskies are sterile.
You can't keep them under 50 inches:
Let them do their job: Eating N.P.Minnows
