I do not look at brands. I look at the net. Ive found the hex shaped handles tend to hold up better. I like the rubber or rubber like nets when cranking or popping, and the big long handled deep hard poly rope (not soft nylon) nets for everything else. Rubber nets are easier to untangle from a mess of trebles, and the long deep nets put fish in the boat even when the line is wrapped around something. Since I am much less serious than I used to be I tend to just take the rubber net because its easier.
