I don't know if this has been asked before, but I usually use the standard set of two trebles on my trace.
When I land a fish, whether it goes bald in the net and tangles up or not, I snag the hooks on the landing net.
Unfortunately, this has happened quite high up on the netting, so tearing the net when the pike slides down the net.
I realise this is the point. Hooks snag on things, that's why I catch.
I cured one of the problems and now use barbless hooks, so if I do snag in the net I have no problems unhooking the net.
Am I doing something wrong, or do I have to buy a net every year to replace the shredded one?
Should I have a stab at having just one treble hook at the end of the trace, and replace the second treble with a carp hook to put in the tail root?
Any other hooking or landing tips?
