mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Where's your "local area"? I don't have a "net retractor" ... I have a folding net that fits in a holster. Most people use a strong magnet that holds the net against your back when not in use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 I much prefer the magnet. I tried a William Joseph net retractor for a while and I was not a fan went back to my magnet after a few weeks of regular use. Edit: You should post an introduction post in the introductory forum so we can get to know you. Maybe post a few pictures of your flies or caught fish.

troutguy 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 I have a fancier one of these. It clips to ring middle of back on vest. I lost nests in brush to magnets. The retractable nets get caught. The old elastic got caught and then snapped back and hit you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 I started using the Smith Creek Net Holster a couple of years ago, and I really like it. Keeps the net very handy without letting it swing around and whack you on the side of the head every time you bend over. http://www.smithcreek.co/net-holster.php If the fly shops near you don't carry them, they are available from mulitple online retailers.

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Troutguy - I have had the same problems. Since I started using my ledged 650 waist pack I have modified my leash and magnet so I have way less swing and I can tell if it gets snagged right away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 This is what I have ... The holster fits on my wading belt and the net unfolds as soon as it's pulled out of the holster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
