I've been using a Brodin boat net that has a rubber, I think they call it a "Ghost"', bag for a couple years and it works just fine. Not only is rubber easier on the fish, but since flies don't get caught in the rubber as readily, we often release fish faster which is also better for the fish.

This spring I'm thinking of getting a Nomad boat net, that also has a rubber bag. I think it may hold up a bit better in the boat whereas the wood framed net tends to get a bit banged up over time.

Anyone have any experience with Nomad nets?
