wait, don't run down there just yet!

The magnetic ones are nice but don't go down and spend $20-25 on one. Find one of these: [url=http://www.tight-line-enterprises.com/magnetrelease.html:abbca]http://www.tight-line-enterprises.com/magnetrelease.html[/url:abbca]
$12.50, great magnets and they're encased in plastic making them much lighter than the all metal ones. comes with the bungee cord too.

The one I use the most is the Rose Creek: [url=http://www.rose-creek.com/net.htm:abbca]http://www.rose-creek.com/net.htm[/url:abbca]

nicer looking, not heavy, great warranty, comes with the lanyard.

like the others mentioned, hang your net by the hoop and not the handle, keeps it from swinging around all over and from getting caught on trees, etc...SPB
