Dan668 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 For anyone looking for a Frabill 36x38 storable http://www.cabelas.ca/product/74307/frabill-power-stow-36-x-38-landing-net Cabelas has a deal for $169 use the code for free shipping on the front page. Seems like a good price, but the price also seems to have gone up. I needed this net in the summer but a lot of places were out of stock. Got the power catch instead.

musky666 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Looks a good deal, but I love my Beckman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 No free shipping to Canada with Cabelas only the lower 48 states. I have shifted most of my purchasing to BPS as their free shipping deals include Canada and only charge $3.50 for brokerage fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeontroller Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Terrible mesh IMO. Tough on the fins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan668 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I know. Ill advise him to buy the power catch mesh as i believe it fits on. Hes been looking for a foldable net. Not much else out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Maybe I'm wrong but when you're fishing alone (especially). you need your net to be ready. So, why would a storable net be more useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan668 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I use the power catch which is great and imo the best net for skis. He has a smaller boat so prefers the foldable to save space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Maybe I'm wrong but when you're fishing alone (especially). you need your net to be ready. So, why would a storable net be more useful? I have one and keep it open when fishing by myself,and have it stowed otherwise. It does save a lot of space. Also easier for travel and storage in general. Haven't seen any issues with fins. It's a finer mesh for sure, but very soft with smaller holes, and super deep (almost comedically so). I don't get how it would cut fins, to be honest. It does tangle with hooks a lot more than the larger/thicker mesh though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBenson Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Great net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 All nets split fins on Muskies, some worse than others, not the end of the world as they heal...you'll notice split and bleeding fins in a lot of Muskie pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have owned both nets. The power stow mesh tangles too much and prongs fish handling. We hated it. The power catch mesh is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 The tangle is a terrible mess. I just cut the hooks every time (except for spinnerbaits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
