The nose of the fish will touch one number on the large built-in measuring "tape" and the tail will touch another number - add the numbers together and you have your fish's overall length! No need to handle the fish at all, just gently remove the hook and let him swim out of the net. The frame is aluminum and lightweight, yet durable and tough. The measure net zips onto the frame and can be easily replaced after years of wear and tear. This net comes standard with a very soft nylon net bag, additional replacement net bags come in soft nylon or an even more resiliant and fish-friendly rubber net bag.
Both the large net and the guide model feature telescoping handles which make them equally functional as both wade fishing nets or as long-handled boat nets. The Guide Model is extra-large and easily capable of handling steelhead and salmon - PLUS it has the added bonus feature of a built-in scale in the handle which makes it possible to weigh fish up to 25 lbs without removing them from the net. Weigh, measure, and release your trophy without ever touching the fish - exaggerators, your days are numbered!
