Just a word about the Beckman frame.

Ya never know how good something is until it's gone.

When I sold my boat, I foolishly included my trusty Beckman FinSaver Pen net when I let the boat go.

The guy didn't have a decent net, and I had recently placed a Promar C&R bag on a big Frabill PowerCatch frame w/ handle extension that I've been pretty happy with. Big hoop, generious bag and 8 ft handle when fully extended. Always considered it to be a bit top-heavy.

Well, a few weeks ago, I inadvertently launched the extension into the river, where it promptly sank to the bottom.

In a pinch I got an old Beckman net from a friend, but didn't like the extra deep bag. So I swapped it out for a nice light Promar bag.

MAN-o-MAN... this thing is SO light in the hand. Can't believe what I'd been missing out on by running that top-heavy Frabill!

Back to Beckman all the way.... except with the superior Promar bag.
