Exactly what size of net can fit in the designated net storage area? Is there a particular brand of net that works best? My current net will not fit.

Thank You!

The factory does stock those nets in Parts. It’s a tight fit, but does get it out of the way when not in use. It’s not as handy as the Jaguar STS, Puma STS and other configurations and it was well known the restrictions. Dip net storage is important and this gives you that ability.

Tim, here’s a couple photos of our Promar folding handle net. We stow it with the handle unfolded/extended as there’s plenty of room for the handle. Be careful to pull the netting up tight as you install the net as there are long rivets on either side of the net slot that will catch the net as you try to pull it out. Too bad Bass Cat didn’t use short rivets or short screws in that area.

I agree, with the information above, The net location” well it looks good, but it will get snagged underneath on the rivets, and if your rods are next to it Yikes, it’s a mess, just be careful and not be in a hurry retrieving your net”

I have the basic net with telescoping handle. After a lot of experimenting I’ve found just putting vertical against the outside of the co’s little rod locker with handle out just enough the back the bungy designed for co’s rods catches the handle. Simple and easy access. It works for me anyway.

Could you kindly post a photo of what you are describing?

I just saw your request. Boat is at camp but I’ll be up this weekend. I’ll try to remember to take a picture but I’m putting the handle between the port seat and locker intended for co anglers rods. Net is flat against that wall area.

I believe I understand.

But that isn’t good for the co-angler if I understand it correctly.

I’ve ordered a 2023 Caracal and hope the Bass Cat has solved the net storage hang up issue in newer models.
