Any recommendations on either of these two?

I just bought a large (16 inch opening) rubberized net and used it on
my trip to the Rapid last week. It worked fine and seemed to handle
the fish better than the conventional mesh net. Also, on several
occasions, the hook came out of the fish's mouth while in the net, but
did not get caught up in the net. I have another net with a small
(size 18) Copper John caught in the mesh; it's been there for two
years.
