Landing net that floats on water and the Lexa

Yes folks, it floats ... !
Courtesy of EGO.
Their nets come in short, one-piece handles and longer, extendable versions.
Nifty piece of work and gear, this.
Choice of translucent rubber or black rubber netting including a mesh version that is wallet friendly but not as friendly to fish.
The main problem? It costs around RM240.
The 18-incher extends to 3-feet, which makes it versatile and convenient for most, whether one is on a yak or in a boat. One handed operation is possible should one choose to extend or shorten the handle.
I find the longer versions too pliant when fully extended; gives me the impression that big, heavy fish shouldn't be in the net when fully extended.
A worthwhile investment should one fish often or go out in a boat often. Handle screws off for easy and convenient keeping or stowing away.
Hope to get me hands on one soon. No more worries about my net sinking.



Daiwa's latest offering, the Lexa, looks sexy and alluring.
Gotta git me two of these :D
For a 100 series all aluminium baitcaster that weighs just a shade under 8oz with nice features that is expected to cost approximately RM400-500, it sure seems worth it.
The 300 series, weighing in at 11oz, is expected to cost around RM600, may be less.
Can't wait for the latest ABU Revo Inshore and their Volatile rods, looks scrumptious. Too bad the rods don't seem to come with K-guides.
