Bass Lasso Net Sees Brisk Sales And New Nicknames
December 4, 2009 – Even though the Bass Lasso fish landing net has not had any formal advertising, the word-of-mouth has been bringing droves of new people to discover the great benefits of owning this innovative fishing net. And that is not all of the news… Rod Presnell has started to create the formal processes that must work in the background to facilitate the management of such a popular new product.
Some of the changes are in R&D, where Rod is looking at various net sizes based upon the requests of different types of fishermen and boat owners. To facilitate future product development, the Bass Lasso is now part of a soon larger family of nets that will be known as “the Lasso Net.” So if you see or hear information about the Lasso Net, it is all part of the Bass Lasso and Rod Presnell family.
Bass Lasso Launches With Great Success
November 9, 2009 – Good showing in Jacksonville at The Florida Sportsman Fishing & Boat Show – much learned on many levels and great interest expressed with solid relationships also established. There was a lot of interest in the Bass Lasso, both from industry professionals and sources, as well as private attendees.
The Lasso Net graphic created by Guy Resener was a big hit, and it was used with graphics of Chris Presnell (son of inventor Rod Presnell) wielding a large Snapper in the net when fishing.
The consensus was that we have a real winner and now need to focus on hitting all the appropriate marketing channels.
Florida Sportsman Fishing & Boat Show Saturday
November 7, 2009 – The Bass Lasso can be seen at The Florida Sportsman Fishing & Boat Show Saturday and Sunday at the Prime Osborn Convention Center in Jacksonville, FL.
We’re offering a show special savings of $10 per net if you come by the booth to see us.
Initial Pricing Set – Buy The Bass Lasso
November 1, 2009 – Rod Presnell is proud to announce sales and shipping available for The Bass Lasso fishing net. He appreciates the patience that anglers have shown, waiting for final production perfection to be achieved.
Rod will be selling The Bass Lasso for $64.99, but he is extending a $5 discount for those of you who have been waiting for the initial release. This pricing discount will only be for a short time, so make sure you get one for yourself, and order several for all those friends who would love one as a Christmas present.
The Bass Lasso can be ordered by clicking the “Shopping Cart” picture in the right sidebar. Don’t forget to come back and give us your stories, as we will be posting them on My Bass Lasso for all to see!
Final Administrative Changes Prior To Launch
October 9, 2009 – CR Presnell Enterprises, Inc. is moving the production site to a larger square footage location. The new site should offer room for the future.
The final plans for who will handle the shopping cart on the web site are in discussion and putting the finishing touches on the shipping issues.
All this equals a move back on the kick off date. Hopefully the nets will be rolling out in the next two to three weeks. I know this has been said before, but all must be right when the start button is pushed.
Final Assembly Time For The Bass Lasso Has Arrived
September 6, 2009 – MyBassLasso has just received word from the plant foreman that the final product modifications have passed inspection and things are on track for shipment on October 1st. He states:
We should get the net arms this coming Tuesday. The plug and collar are being modified to ad strength and stability. The first few samples should be in Rod’s hands by the end of this week and hopefully after inspection an order can be placed. A full shipment of handles is expected to arrive within the next ten days. Link all this together and the expected shipping date for the first orders should be around the 28th of September.
New Video Demonstrates Strength Of Bass Lasso Net
August 10, 2009 – A new video has been posted on Youtube showing just how strong this great collapsible net really is. Watch as the inventor, Rod Presnell of Tallahassee, Florida, hoists and throws around a 15 point brick inside of the Bass Lasso fishing net.
Collapsible Net Assembly Moves To Full Production
August 2, 2009 – Workers in Tallahassee, Florida join inventor Rod Presnell in assembling the first ready-for-retail production of the Bass Lasso. Remember, this net’s casting and assembly are still local, making this great fishing net “Made in America!’
How To Use The Simple, Collapsible Bass Fishing Net
July 1, 2009 – Even though the use of this net is so simple and intuitive, Rod decided he would produce a short video on how to first open and use the Bass Lasso, and then how to collapse the fishing net for easy storage.

Have you set a price yet?
Price will be available by the end of September.
Saw the video today while searching for a simular net. I’m here in Tallahassee but I fish most often in North Carolina. I’ve got into trout fishing which is done primarly on foot, in the water or on the bank. The traditional trout net is somewhat bulky and cumberson to carry along with your other gear; that’s why I have been searching for something more storage friendly.
The basslasso looks to fill the bill however It’s too big. Is there a possibility it could be made smaller to take advantage of the lucrative “trout” market? Also, a couple of my fishing friends and I had discussed this portability issue and concluded that there is also a need for a “trout” size net with some type of extension handle(possibly teloscoping). Many times the bank you fish from is blocked by bushes or boulders, or sometimes you are standing on a ledge a few feet above the water level. I have some ideas on the demensions if you would like to give me a call. My cell is (850)508-9544
Thanks,
Max
Thank you for the comment Max.
We have considered revising the Bass Lasso to include different sizes. In fact, we may go as small as a live well dip net. I believe that we will eventually create a design specifically for trout fishing and I already have several ideas. I appreciate your taking the time to review the BassLasso and the time to communicate.
Keep checking back with us as the site will hopefully continue to offer other revisions to the net as well as some neat accessories.
Your Sept. 8th post says pricing will be available at the end of September. What’s the price? When can I get one? Where do I get one?
Thanks,
Winston
Hey WInston, I promise we’re not stalling …
. We’ve updated the updates page http://mybasslasso.com/product-updates/ and I hope to get you this information in less than 3 weeks. Thank you for your patience.
Rod,
My son said you should think about the Kayka fisherman, he said it would work great in a kayka where there is not much room.
Thanks Steve, that is great advice. The Bass Lasso stores away tightly!
Looks great and cant wait to try it out on the NW salmon!
I have an online tackle store and would be interested in selling your nets, but at this time I do not warehouse anything. All of my suppliers are willing to accept orders as I receive them and drop ship directly to my customers. If you would be interested, please contact me directly at the email address above or call 888-692-2208. Looks like you have a great product that should sell like wildfire!
I think this is a great idea. I have a couple of fishing buddies that aren’t pleased with their nets and are planning to have new nets by next season.
It would be great if you had an affiliate program going. I would love to be able to offer your net from my fishing blogs.
Is there a number to call to talk to someone?
Hi Rod,
Your Lasso looks fantastic! The video is very charming. I especially like the “one-handed” use that was demonstrated. I suddenly feel the urge to fish…
Thanks for the great stories and company during our traveling debacle today! You brightened my day

Your friend,
Christina
I do mostly in shore for reds and trout in the big bend, do you have lasso nets that will handle inshore fish
Hey Jim,
The Lasso Net is suitable for fresh and salt water use. The component parts are not corrosive in salt water. The net hoop size is 21″ in diameter, with a 21″ net depth and has been used for some time by several fishing guides.
We have some guides in the Jacksonville area that have been trying to wear it out on trout and redfish. They are absolutely thrilled with the Bass Lasso.
For strength of the net please visit the website and view the video showing a fifteen pound weight in the net while Rod Presnell is attempting to break the net. The Lasso Net (aka Bass Lasso) has the obvious feature of being tangle free, but is also very strong and durable. Get hooked…..on the fish, not the net!
Hey Joe.
Your net is incredible. Can you shipped around the world?? I want to distribute.
Please contact me, excuse my english.
Bye bye from Madrid, Spain.
