Received a Frabill net as a Christmas gift 2 years in a row. One ripped wear the netting is attached to the metal and the other one snapped when it was extended netting a fish! Frabill stated I was past the warranty and basically SOL!!! Bought a Clam net yesterday! Fingers crossed! 
Just buy a ranger and be done with it. Mine has been awesome for 3 years now. My ego was great as well
Yelling grab the ranger just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

You are correct lol
Someone needs to tell John Gillespie………….

He’s moved on from the Frabill. He’s a Clam guy now.
You must be on some monster sized fish, I have had my net 15 years and still no problems and I net 1000 fish a year. LOL
My experiences aren’t far off with Clam. Hope your mileage varies…
Most of the time during the 1 year warranty period it was in the garage waiting for the ice to melt! Common sense? I was netting a 22 inch walleye at 1 am this weekend when it happened! They promised I would receive a follow-up call at 11 today! No call. They are 4 hours late!

Good luck dealing with clam then
Get the Clam!Get the Clam!Get the Clam!Get the Clam!
Sounds good to me!
I’m thinking of starting a new net company called Yardich.
Sorry I’m childish. 
The Clam nets are really nice. The only reason I haven’t bought one yet is because they haven’t made one that folds up. I don’t understand why.
Never received the promised return call. Called near the end of the day and the person I talked to said that particular person left early. This person was very sympathetic and explained all of the managers had left for the day. Once again I was promised a call today. This time from a manager. You guessed it, no call! I guess there strategy and procedure is to ignore customers and hope they go away! Well they accomplished their goal! I am tossing the two nets in the trash and moving on. Case closed! Well done Frabill!
That is encouraging! Thanks for the information 👍!

Don’t throw them away!! Cut them up and print out this thread and stuff it all in a box and ship it to the national sales manager.
