The Brute - A Serious Catch and Release Muskie Net

Thursday April 03, 2008

When you slide a landing net under a large muskie, you can be dealing with 30 pounds or more of muscle, sharp teeth and bad attitude. That's why Loki Nets, a leading manufacturer of quality landing nets since 1965, makes The Brute - an American-made net designed specifically for serious catch and release muskie anglers.

The Brute was designed from top to bottom for the specific challenges of landing, handling and releasing large muskie, starting with an exaggerated hoop size that allows for easy entry of these large, torpedo-shaped fish. The net bag is manufactured from Loki Nets' proven Tangle-LessTM netting, features a sewn-in bottom, and measures 42 inches deep to handle the mightiest muskie. Loki Nets' exclusive American-made netting material features a knotless small mesh design and durable coating for a rugged net with more body. At the same time, the knotless netting is easier on fish with its smooth surface that protects slime coat and minimizes damage to gills and fins.

The Brute boasts a beefy six-foot fiberglass handle with a foam grip that helps anglers hang on -even when they've got a tiger by the tail. A solid aluminum-connecting block joins the handle to the frame, and allows it to slide in and out for easy storage and transportation. For added durability and improved performance, the netting is bonded to the frame. The Brute also features Loki Nets' proven Spook Stopper finish - the netting and hoop are both black - which keeps fish from spooking as they approach the net.

The Brute - 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.
