Showing Off My Nets

I just received the 2nd of two custom nets from Tropical Lighting. These bad boys are beautiful and will work fantastic for my toons. Here are a couple of photos (they don't do the wood justice) to show you Greg's high quality craftsmanship. They have a rubberized C&R net that is fantastic.

The net on the right has a Mango handle and the one on the left has a figured Koa handle. I prefer the traditional oval hoop shape to the newer Catch&Release shape that is popular with many.

Greg is great to work with and I recommend him highly.

Greg:

My son consented to let me take a couple of photos for posting purposes. It went straight back home with him. He knows a great net when he sees one and has no intention of letting me get it back. Thats why I had to get the 2nd one. I told him I thought my new net was better looking than the one he stole from me. Of course, he knows I'm full of crap.

Being the loving son, he gave me the as he left. Kids?
