well after 1 season I have to say this net is a pos.... the spring loaded pin for the net/handle lock failed first time out.... almost lost the net.... tried it again and same thing.... so instead of sending back to the store I put a couple screws in it to keep it locked....
I had the same issue. I put a blot through the end to keep the basket from falling off.
also the webbing doesn't last.... 3 holes in 1 season is a joke.... interested to see if anyone else has had the same issues ?
