Reddit reviews Quick Seine - Large for Fly Fishing Net

I'm currently using a Frabill 3673 Rubber Handle Trout Net with the elastic cord cut off. I have an Orvis Gear Keeper retractor, and it is attached to the rim of the net, in between the net fabric and the handle with a small yellow piece of zing-it (leftover from creating some dummy cord for another project).

The net itself is very light, easy to handle in the water, especially when there's current, and the wide opening makes landing fish of any size a breeze. One downside is that i can no longer use my net as a seine using a Quick Seine Net attached onto my net handle. Also, it's large size makes an awkward and clumsy hike in when the fishing access is of any distance from the parking area.

I like the retractor, but find that it's kind of long, so when worn on a vest, it hangs lower than i'd like. Same when worn on my waist as part of my current setup, which is a Fishpond Thunderhead Lumbar pack. I clip the retractor to the orange grab handle and let it hang behind me.

I've considered using a magnet to help wrangle the net closer to my hip when fishing, but haven't found a comfortable way to do that just yet. I'm also going to try using the thunderhead's fishing net handle sleeve to see if that makes any difference with comfort and clumsiness on my next fishing excursion.
