i've got a landing net that where the net extends out that works pretty good that i got down here in perry at wilson's tackle for about 40$ that make those topwater plugs easy to get out too.
I broke it about the second time I opened it. Could have been user error though . A small plastic pin at what I would call a hinge broke. Shoved a nail in place of the pin and it works fine now.

I have my eye on that Frabill. Looks nice. Looks like it would stow away pretty quick in an under-gunnell rod holder on a flats boat too. I have $50 of gift cards with Bass Pro too. I think BPS wanted $70 for the Frabill + s/h. If I take the plunge I will post up a report (corrosion only it won't see much fish slime on my rig).
The thing about the Frabill over the lasso is that the handle length is a lot longer. JMHO.
The net is BIG. It probably weighs 5lbs. The diameter of the handle/cylinder is very large as well. It would be tough to stick the cylinder in a standard gunnel or console rod holder. The locking mechanism is a little tight (might get better with use). I will measure the width of the cylinder tonight and update. Obviously the net hasn't been on the water with me yet.
