Rubber net

I asked in at England Marine of Eureka recently if they have or can get a king-sized mesh net, because I want to take better care of fish that I'll release.  They didn't have it and didn't say they could order it, but they did have a replacement net for my big salmon net frame - it was rubber, and I was told that the fish would just "stick" in one spot and be easily unhooked and released.  I have my doubts though...  Anyone have knowledge of this or of where I can get a king-size mesh net (like the biggest salmon net)?

I searched around and found this in knotless mesh:  http://www.frabill.com/cgi-bin/frabill/8450?store=spring

Pretty pricey, but may be what I need...

Anyone actually used the rubber ones?  Because the replacement at England is only $35...

You might check out the Promar nets.  I have the LN-704 which is rather huge and probably overkill but I thought it would be good for a big halibut.  It seems to be very well made.  The LN-703f Pro may be more what you are looking for in terms of mesh and its a floating net.

Good sites.  Thanks, Marmite.

I bought a brodin cutthroat float tube net which is big enough to handle a small striper through Outdoor Pro Shop. It has a clear rubber net and is really great. I bought it because I use a lot of rapalas trout fishing and the treble hooks get really tangled in my other CNR net. The rubber net does not get tangled and the clear rubber spooks the fish less. The Brodin nets look great also. The bad news is that at $90 it is really pricey, I didn't know this when I ordered it. Check them out at http://www.brodin.com.
