Going to get one barring any reports of complete failure from somebody, recommendations on size?

Kevin, I have one and really like it. I have the biggest one, I think the hoop size is 32" x 36" and it has a 4' bag. Never have had a problem with it. When I'm traveling I have it folded down, dosen't take up much space. When I fish by myself I have it unfolded and ready to go. No complaints.

I got one over the winter, slightly smaller, I think its 42 in. Deep, but looks like its constructed well. I can not wait to get it wet!

Get the TS116Y, which is 36"x38", and you won't go wrong. Slinger has that one, and folded it's nearly as compact as mine.

I've got the 32"x30" TS94IM, and it's perfectly OK most of the time, but the hoop's not as big as I'd like when dealing with very large or very green fish. Mine has the larger bag from the TS116Y, though, so it's extra deep on my smaller hoop which is nice when unhooking, but getting the fish into the net isn't as easy as I'd like it to be.

Hemi that is the one I am leaning toward. Just wanted to get some input before I buy it.

Well, you guys didn't lose Slingers 52"er, so that's a plus! It's a good thing you fish lakes like Ovid that don't have very many muskies in them, huh. [smilie=biggrin.gif]

I have used both and I would get the TS116Y. I think if your anywhere near big fish water you will want the bigger net.

There aren't any muskies in Ovid.

I have the big net, and it folds nicely in my smaller boat.

One thing to keep in mind with these folding nets: when alone, remember to unfold them before starting to fish!

Not that I've ever had a fish on the line, only to remember too late that I forgot to open the net.

No, I would never do that!

And even when fishing with someone else, it's still a good idea to keep it open; but if you don't, make sure to give your fishing partner some training and practice before he needs to use it to bag your fish-of-a-lifetime.
