I ordered the Ed Cummings 270-12-SG available here.
The website said 23.00 but it is now 29.00 and shipping is 7.00. How many of you use this net?
Pros/Cons? Any tips?

Thanks
Tom

Did you order it straight from them? The pricing may have changed a bit. Last year I got 2 for $25/ea (if I remember correctly), and $16 shipping.

It is a nice sturdy net. The bad isn't too deep but deep enough.

It is nice when going through leaf litter.

I ordered it from the link. I think the website is cumingsnets.com. The lady I spoke with said that the 23.00 is 1999 pricing.

I have that net. It is a nice net. The mesh is somewhat coarser than the Jonah's Perfect Dipnet, though. It will let some small specimens pass through. Not a major problem, unless you're looking to collect a lot of small feeder fish. But you will see some small fish pass through this net.

It's here!

I think I will really enjoy this net. It's strong, and well built, after I use it, I will know how well I like it. Great quality for the price IMO.

You wanted to meet and use it? Maybe the 23rd, or the 30th? NE OH or NW PA?

I didn't want to spoil the auction items, but we will have a few Cumings nets in the auction at the convention. Just figured I'd let you guys know.

Contact me and we'll get something going in NE Ohio probably. Anyone else is welcome to join.
