Not very good for me.
I was fishing a windswept lake with very shallow margins and wanted to leave the net out where it was deep enough to net fish.
Found that unless the bank sticks are in absolutely rock solid any breeze rocks the net and loosens the sticks and the net falls off. The net retention strap didn't help much and made it harder to release the net when playing a fish and trying to do it one handed.

Two storm poles,three butt rests and a cheap two rod buzzbar.I have found this way better as can get stormpoles driven in alot further so alot more stable

I've got one, used it on boards that I fish it's ok, although a chunk of metal that I no longer carry about.

Had the same issue. Took a wrench and fastened the bolt tight and now I'm quite pleased with it. I have a lot of sticks and brambles on the banks and it saved me from some uncomfortable situations at night.

I always found it ok where I used to fish.

I used one decent stormpole (put well in) with the net station on then one more stormpole towards the end of the net handle stuck up a bit to prevent the net from swinging in the wind. Never bothered with the strap unless I had a fish in it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
