EGO® Fishing's S2 Slider: Still the champion

It's said that a system is only as good as the weakest link. Then how is it that some anglers rely on junk landing nets with warped hoops and rotten or torn meshing?
There's another crowd that doesn't even carry a landing net. Frankly, that's hard to comprehend given the outlay of time and money that got a fish to bankside or boatside.
The market is flooded with landing nets, most of them cookie-cutter designs that function only as fish-dippers. And many leave a lot to be desired, what with snag-prone netting and materials that can be hard on fish intended for release.
Not the case with EGO Fishing's top selling and award-winning S2 Slider and Kyrptek S2 Slider, modular fishing net systems not only designed for netting fish, but a multitude of other tasks. The EGO S2 Slider system utilizes the most advanced handle extension technology on the planet.
EGO offers 30-plus interchangeable net heads, accessories, and handles; 19 combined hoop sizes and mesh types to choose from; and lastly, a two-year limited warranty on all EGO landing nets and accessories.
About the EGO S2 Slider "System"
The EGO S2 Slider net is built around a "universal system" that features an extendable net handle for reaching boat-shy trophies—and offers a twist-on & -off system that allows interchanging net frames and net sizes/materials to match exactly what you're fishing and where.
The options are practically limitless. EGO Fishing offers the perfect net to exactly suit the species and waters you fish. With three EGO S2 Slider Handle Sizes to choose from, you can find the perfect net for your big boat, small boat, kayak/canoe, pier or bank fishing, or wade fishing.
The EGO S2 Slider extending net handle comes in the three sizes: COMPACT, 18" - 36" handle extension; STANDARD, 29" - 60" handle extension; and for those far-reaching applications, the REACH handle, which extends from 48" to a lengthy 108".
As far as net material construction, anglers can choose within the S2 Slider system between the following: standard Nylon, Rubber-Coated Nylon, PVC-Coated Nylon, Lightweight Rubber, Lightweight Clear Rubber, and PVC-Coated Netting with built-in fish-measuring ruler.
Net hoop sizes run the gamut—from small 14" x 16" netting; medium 17" x 19"; large 19" x 21"; 22" x 23"; to the extra-large 24" x 27".
Beyond netting fish: endless accessories
As mentioned, the EGO S2 Slider net family is a "system" that allows use on and off the water. For example, each S2 Slider handle accepts this 8-inch EGO Deck Brush that makes cleaning up a boat at the end of the day a breeze. Same goes for the interchangeable EGO Deck Mop and Deluxe Deck Mop.
Beyond clean-up, EGO designers were smart to offer a couple other accessories worth a look at.
The first is the EGO Lure Retriever, something we could all use in the boat, especially when a custom jerkbait can run $30 these days—not to mention the rarity of some of the out-of-production "oldie but goodie" baits we throw when fishing gets tough!
And for docking or managing lines, rails, and stanchions, the EGO Boat Hook is designed to make easy work of busy work...
