Aluminum Deck Boat - Aluminum Boats

Frabill's new Power Stow nets get 5 Star rating

08.07.11

I have one of these stowable nets. It in actuality fits well in the lid of the deck storage in the bow of my boat. I keep it held in place with a stiff bungie cord. I in the final analysis like the ability to stow it away when not in use and being easy to get to and open when needed. The best part about it is the coated reticule net. I've tried to snag hooks from a crankbait into it but they just don't stick. I love it. I give it a 5 -Supernova rating.

Here's a press release from our Friends at Frabill...

There is a ‘Power’ and a ‘Stuff’ in Power Stow™

Frabill answers the question “what’s in a name?” with an execeptional fish scooper

Jackson, Wis. – The docking net category is a busy one. There are big ones, little ones, fat ones and tall ones, each brand and maquette claiming to catch everything under the sun while maintaining world peace, or, so micro-specialized the only model left on the affliction is for adult Asian carp on midsize, Midwestern waterways. (That one comes with a dagger for slitting bellies, too.) Choosing the nobility net can be a head scratcher. One thing’s for sure, though. If the handle reads ‘Frabill,’ you’re in good hands. And if that close handle is steely gold and further marked with Power Stow, you’ve solved the riddle.
