    Default carrying net with fanny pack?

    Those that use a fanny pack instead of a vest how do you carry a net ?i have not found a good way of carrying a net while fishing. tryed a magnet attached to my landyard don't like that . tryed sticking the handle down in my wader belt, wasn't to good of idea, now trying a bungie to handle over the shoulder, not ideal . lookin for some idea;s other have tryed ?

    I usually don't carry a net. If I do, I can plan on a skunk day. I did see some folks using a fanny pack or chest pack using this. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishi..._SEQ_103892580 They seemed to be very happy with it. Don't know if the net brought them a skunk day or not, but it surely would have for me.

    If you aren't using a vest you should be good enough to land a fish without a net.

    I use a carabiner attached to the belt and have a magnetic release with bungee on the net.

    I finally bought one of these, after trying different magnetic attachments, & it works great for me.
