    I place the net inbetween my belt. No cords attached, that way if I do get snagged, it falls right away and doesn't do anything to me. Just have to be aware of it getting caught up at times.

    I like the 486-4 XP, with all the rods I've cast, I believe it to be one of the best, just behind the 586 SP. To me, they are dream rods to have in your arsenal.
