Beckmen,Frabil are your two big guns I believe with Stowmaster
gaining some real attention. Its been a while since I did research
on nets however. Ive got a Beckmen fin-saver bag on a older
salmon net frame. Filled it with exspandable spray foam so it now
floats. Works great but has had limited use. [smilie=brickwall.gif]
I have a Stowmaster TS116Y and I like it but it is still a big net even folded down. If I was going to do it over again I would have gotten the smaller Musky net the TS941M.

I own a Beckman, have fished with people who have Stowmaster & Frabill. The only beef I have with the Beckman, is sometimes if the fish twists up, it takes forever to untangle the lure from the small netting (finsaver). The nice thing though, is it's a lot lighter than the Frabill making it easier to fish by yourself. The stowmaster has a really nice coating on the bag making lures almost impossible to get stuck in. It's also nice that it folds up small for storage. (I personally always have my net open so I don't have to do that while fighting a fish). But I tell you, with that Stowmaster, if you are not used to it, you get kind of ruffled trying to open it when the adrenaline is going! Now something that looks REALLY nice is that new conservation series net from Frabill with no knotting. Very smooth bag. Very fish friendly. You are always going to hear the same thing about a net. It's kind of like Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge.
