I'll stick with my magnetic release. I just put the two magnets near each other over my shoulder and they find each other and lock together. Never have had an issue with them.

Looks nice. I use a folding net when I need to net them, for the most part I use a release, don't even touch them.
This is something new if you haven't seen it.

both have the same concept . the 1 I use has a lever to release the net. The other 1 uses a magnetic base to hold in place. either 1 would work for me instead of the magnetic lanyard that was on my back. I just couldnt get the hang of easy both magnets hooking back up

. For trout under 12 inchs. I mostly do in water release. But the bigger 1s like to thrashing around sometimes. So its safer for the fish & I to net then unhook back into the water

I also tried the magnetic lanyard on 1 of the hooks on my wading belt. It was easier to hook up. But the net hung in awkward spot that it would snag branches when I walk thru areas that had branches and shrub areas
