Once again dilbeck and Sailfish prove to be smarter than me.  Being a freshwater guy I didn't even know about the minimum net size requirement, but since I plan to get out into the salt this year, a more versatile net makes more sense.  Please amend my order to:

1X 18-36 handle
1X Large Hoop Size 19" x 21" Clear Rubber Mesh

Hi Sonny  :smt006

Do you know if I could get in on the group order but have my net shipped to me in Idaho? I'm interested in the 29"-60" handle with the large deep rubber mesh. 
It's no trouble if this can't be done, but I plan on buying this setup before spring for steelhead and thought I'd have a go at trying to get a discount.

Yippie!!! I think...

Just got my new net today; one day earlier than expected. Looks and feels nice; but I think I will also get the larger sized version also. Also some of the fasteners don't look stainless; so I think I may change it before I take it for a dunk....

Other than that, I great new addition to my arsenal of slaying gear!

I wondered if the components would holdup to saltwater kayak fishing. So I sent the MFG an email last week and their response indicated they were stainless ""We have designed the S2 Slider with components that are either stainless
steel or chrome plated to with stand use in a saltwater environment.
However, as the salt residue builds up on the aluminum sections of the
handle it would need to be cleaned/flushed with fresh water every so often
to allow the sliding mechanism to work correctly without a lot of friction.""

Maybe my problem is that I'm always skeptical of new stuff. But I prefer my big old salmon net...no moving parts.
Speaking of unnecessary moving parts, they also said this """if the handle eventually fails, you can
purchase just the handle and not have to replace the net head as well.""

It doesn't seem like 15" is all that deep. I would think a fish could hop out. Also I don't think you could wrap a fish in there to secure it very well. With 19x21 and 15 deep, it sounds like a shallow bucket.

They said the 15" depth can stretch 1.5x with the weight of the fish which is approximately 22.5" depth.

Below is the list that I will send to them on Tuesday 2/8/11 for a group buy quote.  Let me know if you you want to make some changes:

Model #72013 (10 unit)

18-36 handle
Large Hoop Size 19" x 21" Clear Rubber Mesh

From: Jhfish/John, HamachiJohn/Jonathan, dpshim/Daniel, Exhibita/Anthony, Jerry, Usagi/Pete, Bigfoot/Randall, Jedmo/Jed, Bennetttdanville/Martin, Sailfish/Sonny
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Model #72035 (3 units)
29-60 handle
Deep Rubber Mesh Black

From: Nontoxic/Andy (2x) and Fishing Jay
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll also ask them if they could send the net to individual addresses and the quote for 18-36" handle with the deep rubber mesh net in case some of you want a deeper net.
