There are basically 3 options out there; Promar Flat (classic) style, Promar's Eclipse, and Danielson style nets. I Favor the Danielsons because there is nothing to set up on the yak, they have the conical sloped top which helps keep the critters in and they have a slightly larger net on the bottom allowing the net to drop slightly when the bottom ring leaves the floor. They stack well on the back of the yak for organization, they are cheaper and come with a harness already to go... just add rope and float.The Eclipse nets are approximately 12" high while sitting flat and the Danielson's are around 9". The shallower net means you must have a good initial pull because larger bugs on the bait cage may have a good chance of bolting/ flipping over the top. I think the eclipses are harder to pull, but again, it is a personal preference. Promar's new Eclipse nets shows that they are going to be proactive in designing and promoting new and innovative options in the future. It is really hard to Hoop net with out something of theirs in your inventory!
