OK So the Net floats right?  How many have tested theirs?  One hot after noon the boys wanted to dry and catch some little fish swimming around them so the wife tosses the net to them......well 10ft short of them and to our amazement it sank.  Not a big deal you say except we were in 60ft of water.  Well thankfully I had a big treble on board and we were able to retrieve the net.  So to prevent this from happening again.

I filled the handle with as much expanding foam as it would hold.  It is the stuff you can buy at any hardware store for winterizing around doors and windows. 

Now the net bobs like a cork.
