Ever see a yoke like this on a beckman? I thought the hoop went outside the handle and the yoke was a sturdy piece of aluminum. Really old style or something?

I thought so too.

He bought it anyway, based on his available materials and a welder in case it needed to be repaired or strengthened. He sent me a closer picture.

The good thing is, he has no plans to lift a big fish in a manner that would break it.

Not sure what their warranty requires (registration, receipt, etc) but I've heard beckman is good service wise.

Great net, good find. I believe that is the older style yoke. Mine are a more robust design yoke than the one pictured. Like SS said it goes outside the handle into an extruded piece. Mine is a newer version though. I really doubt that it will fail. Wish I could find a new basket for mine.

Do they make a rubber net? I switched to a rubber net on my ranger net and would never use a cord net again. Picking trebles out of nets is a waste of time.

Not likely in a 32x44x48 size. I told him he should get a coated net.

He will probably musky fish a little but more for the biggest fish in the great lakes.

You can buy just the rubber bag and replace the nylon chord net. I did that on mine.

Lakeside has the shallow replacement rubber pockets.

He was gonna actually. I advised him against the one he had ordered for $60. Too small and frankly too cheap.
