Editor's Note: We recently sent Capt. Pete Rapps the Lasso Net to test how it worked in a real world environment. Here are his thoughts:

The net arrived in a small tube mailer.  Pretty interesting already.... What net fits into a tube mailer I asked myself.

I opened it up and was intrigued by the construction of the net.  Quite ingenious!  I opened and closed the net 4 or 5 times and it appeared sturdy, and was easy to snap in and out with just one hand.

I have had opportunity to use it on my charters for a couple of weeks now.  The net stores in a rod holder, but you never have to worry about your hooks getting stuck in it while casting because the net folds completely into the tube handle.

Now that I have used the Bass Lasso to net many fish, I must say it is a very sturdy net that has earned it's place on my charter boat.  I enjoy using it and my clients are always amazed when I show it to them.  We catch some pretty big Snook and Reds down here in the Everglades National Park and I hope to see a larger size available in the future.

The photo includes myself and charter passenger Nicole Connolly giving the net a good test.
