Looking To Land Big Cats, Lunker Linesides And Other Heavy Fish? Better Unleash "The Beast"
Thursday April 03, 2008 Heavy-Duty Model From Loki Nets Ideal for Beating the Big Boys Serious whisker fish anglers know it takes one tough net to handle big, tough-fighting flatheads, blues and channel cats. That's why the Beast, made by Knoxville, Tennessee's, Loki Nets, is the most popular big net on the market. You don't have to be a professional cat hunter to appreciate the quality and performance of this new net. It is built extra tough and extra large for all anglers who like to fish for big cats, striped bass and other XL-sized game fish in fresh and saltwater. At the Beast's business end, you'll find a double reinforced hoop with a solid aluminum connector block and large mesh made of Tangle-LessTM knotless nylon netting that's tough as nails yet easy on fish. Loki Nets' Tangle-Less netting features a special coating that serves two important purposes. First, it protects a fish's delicate skin and slime coat that acts as its first line of defense against infection. Second, it gives the netting more body to resist tangles with spiny fins, flared gills and hooks - so you can get your trophy fish unhooked and back in the water fast. Combined, these features make Loki's Tangle-Less Nets the ideal choice for catching and releasing big fish. "The future of trophy-oriented catfishing depends on anglers releasing big fish to fight again another day," said Tim Scott, vice president of the Professional Catfishing Association. "Big catfish are indeed tough, but just because they battle hard doesn't mean that they aren't susceptible to post-release mortality. Skin infections caused by anglers using rough, knotted landing nets may be higher than we think." The Beast comes in four net sizes, each offered with two handle options: either heavy-duty tubular aluminum or pultruded fiberglass (F). Models TECH-RF-1 and TECH-RF-1F feature a 20" x 24" bow and 24" deep netting, with either a 30" aluminum or fiberglass handle, respectively. Models TECH-RF-2 and TECH-RF-2F feature the same size and type of handles, but with a larger 23" x 28" bow and 28" deep netting. For even larger fish, Loki Nets offers Models TECH-BST-3 and TECH-BST-3F, both with a 29" x 33" bow with 36" deep netting and a 48" handle. And for the ultimate in big-fish handling, try the TECH-BST-4 or TECH-BST-4F. Both offer giant 37" x 38" bows and 36" deep netting to scoop up the largest game fish, and sturdy, 48" long handles for lifting plenty of weight. The Beast- like all Loki Nets - is manufactured with pride in Knoxville, Tennessee. Loki Nets is the only major U.S. landing net manufacturer that knits its own netting material. Loki Nets is a division of Mid-Lakes Corporation, a leading manufacturer of knotless nylon netting for bulk sales and fabricated products serving the sport fishing, sporting goods, commercial fishing, aquaculture and industrial trades. © 2008 Mid-Lakes Corporation Powered by iDeal Platform
