Advantages to having a bag: > Catch more % of fish > Provides more room and depth for fish while harvesting. Best way is to use long stakes to hold up the bag making a big bowl. > Catches jumping fish like lmb, grass carp, and bluegill better
Disadvantages: > May drag in silt > Heavy and harder to pull > More difficult to manage > Requires more manpower.
