I have a very old landing net: a well-constructed teardrop shaped maple frame but with the old, big-holed cotton webbing that smaller fish could easily wriggle though. I only use it for larger fish and it seems to work fine.
A friend recently told me that this old-style webbing can actually hurt fish, even larger ones. I laughed, but later thought there may be some truth to it.
Anybody out there have any bad expereince with teh older large gapped cotton webbing?
And are replacement webbing available anywhere? A quick search on the internet didn't yield anything.
Thanks, guys.
