Do they make landing nets made out of mono line? I spend more time
untangling treble hooks from my twisted line landing net than fishing.
Anything else besides a gaff to land fish? Small trout up to 24", but most
between 14 and 20" long.

I have seen some made of a rubber type material that shouldn't hold a
hook so well...


Stop using treble hooks.

There are, but there are some rubberized that are easier on the fish and do
not hook hooks very well.

Dumb answer from a non-boater.

Gaff em!


There's no reason to use treble hooks. Most true sportfishermen remove
them from lures and use single hooks in their place.

That is the net I was talking about, here it is in "tiny url" form.

He is fishing for trout for dinner. Power bait stays on trebles a lot
better. And the treble is maybe 1/4" across.

We use Rapalas, spoons, Mepps, Kastmasters, and a variety of crank baits for
catching trout. We use large trolling rigs, but I have better luck with
lures. Kids and uninformed inexperienced adults use Power Bait. I do like
to use a marshmallow/earthworm combo fished on a 16" leader, and a lead
weight when I locate big ones on the bottom.
