			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s world of planned obsolescence and designed-in product lifespan, it&#8217;s reassuring to know there&#8217;s one product still designed for a lifetime-Frabill&#8217;s Power Catch® nets. A lifetime of performance. Absolutely the finest, most durable landing nets ever built. They&#8217;re built to take the punishment of big fish and season after season on the water. Power Catch® nets bring a rare combination of quality, durability, and proven performance to a category of product that is dominated by low price point &#8220;Me Too&#8221; products. Power Catch® nets stand alone, with the &#8220;Big Kahuna&#8221; and &#8220;Big Game&#8221; names being recognized by &#8220;big fish&#8221; anglers everywhere as THE nets to have.</p>
<p>Field tested and performance proven by America&#8217;s top anglers and professional guides and captains in fresh and saltwater conditions. Power Catch® sets the standard brute strength, durability and professional grade performance.</p>
<p>Exclusive <strong>&#8220;Brute Hoop®&#8221;</strong> features unique oval profile to reduce drag in the water.</p>
<p>Internal Dual I-Beam extrusion spans the entire length of the hoop, adding extra backbone for unmatched strength.  Special black anodized hoop for net-shy fish.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">
<p style="text-align: right;">
<p><strong>Comfort Fit Non-Torque Handle Design. </strong></p>
<p>Ergonomically designed shape fits the hand naturally to eliminate torque and the rollover experienced with traditional round handles.</p>

<p>Provides greater comfort, increased leverage and a more secure grip when netting heavy, aggressive fish.</p>
<p>Patented Pow&#8217;R-Lok yoke systems feature advanced engineered composite construction providing the strength characteristics of metal in a lighter weight design. Patented design eliminates searching for spring buttons and</p>
<p>accidental over-extension of the handle.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Heavy-duty, advanced composite yokes provide unmatched strength and durability at the most critical stress point of the net.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Corrosion resistant composite holds up in both fresh and saltwater environments.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How about this for a landing net concept? A broomstick. That’s right, a broomstick.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1048" style="margin: 3px;" title="HiberNetHalfPgHorzAd" src="http://www.frabill.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HiberNetHalfPgHorzAd.jpg" alt="Hibernet" width="615" height="339" />How about this for a landing net concept? A broomstick. That’s right, a broomstick. Ok, so what about, you know, the net? It’s inside the handle. Yes, inside the handle. When you need it, the net pops right out with the ease of an umbrella. No more worrying about where to store the net in the boat. That’s because the hoop and netting disappeared. Poof, they went back inside the handle.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1234" style="margin: 2px;" title="Hibernet_4steps" src="http://www.frabill.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/FRAB_HiberNet_1A-4A_10_72dpi4-196x300.jpg" alt="Hibernet_4steps" width="196" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Frabill’s patented new <a href="http://www.frabill.com/store/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/451/s/hiber-net/category/47/" target="_blank">Hibernet™</a> has made this unlikely concept a reality: the most completely portable, retractable landing net. Stored, it’s no bulkier than your nighttime running lights. It’s the first net that fits cleanly inside any standard rod locker. You’ll forget it’s even there…until you need it. Grab the handle, slide the grip forward, and out shoots a hoop and net, locking into place for the big moment.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.frabill.com/store/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/451/s/hiber-net/category/47/" target="_blank">Hibernet</a>™  is unquestionably the best portable landing net solution we’ve seen,” states Frabill Engineer, Ryan Kleckner. “And in over seventy years in the net business, we’ve seen more than a few. The beauty of the <a href="Hiber-Net " target="_blank">Hibernet</a>™ really lies in its simple, foolproof design, Kleckner believes. “There are no buttons or confusing push connections. All you do is slide the handle upward. You feel, see and hear the net lock into place, so there’s no way to overdo it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hibernet™ retracts instantly, too. Just pull the Slide Grip back toward the handle. This unlocks the hoop and draws it back inside the tube. “I can’t imagine that there’s an angler out there who couldn’t use one of these,” says Dale Stroschein, professional guide and Frabill product tester. “Hiber-Net is the perfect all-purpose landing net. During my time on the pro walleye circuit, this net would have prevented a lot of hassles—fish lost when loose hooks tangled in the mesh, not to mention the damage that’s done to most nets when they’re stepped on or plain snagged. <a href="http://www.frabill.com/store/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/451/s/hiber-net/category/47/" target="_blank">Hibernet</a>™ eliminates all those worries, plus it fits inside my rod box.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And it’s as solid in construction as it is in performance. “<a href="http://www.frabill.com/store/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/451/s/hiber-net/category/47/" target="_blank">Hibernet</a>’s handle and hoop frames are built with heavy-walled, extruded aluminum,” reports Kleckner. “The Slide-Grip uses pultruded fiberglass springs, which power the automatic hoop lock. There’s no tension when the net’s retracted, so it never wears out. We use stainless steel hardware and anodized aluminum, too. The whole product is extremely corrosion resistant, so it works equally well in saltwater.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">More features: a premium rubberized handle yields sure-handed use. The netting itself is a soft, black poly mesh. Retracted, <a href="http://www.frabill.com/store/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/451/s/hiber-net/category/47/" target="_blank">Hiber-Net</a> is 52-inches in length, with a triangular-shaped hoop that’s 22- by 22-inches by 24-inches deep.</p>
<p>Says Stroschein: “<a href="Hiber-Net" target="_blank">Hibernet</a> does what a good net’s supposed to do—land fish. But it also does what most fail to do—stow cleanly out of the way until you need it.”</p>
