Stringman:
Beautiful work and finish. I'm curious, what gives it structural integrity? Is there a hidden element?

4est Trekker:
Thanks, gents.  :)

Good questions.  The strength comes from the lamination of the hoop and solid glue lines/mating surfaces.  It won't land a beast of a salmon or catfish, and there is a touch of flex to the hoop under pressure.  But I'm usually angling for smaller species like upper elevation trout, crappie, and bluegill and love not knowing this 3.5 oz net is even hanging off my vest or stuffed in my pack until I need it.   

Stoker:
Very nice.. A light net is a pleasure to use..
Thanks Leroy

BowEd:
Very nice appreciation gift there.

JW_Halverson:
Yeah, that is mighty pretty stuff there.  And the wide, square-ish lip is a positive design benefit for larger fish or shallower waters
