Personally I don't like them, even for "recreational" use. They always seem to get tangled in the back of the truck, they tear easily, the fish get all tangled up in them, they're hard to maneuver in the wat . . . oh, you're referring to fishnet hosiery for the ladies? Still not a fan, don't consider them to be "classy". Same for dark hosiery or that expensive, fancy, patterned stuff that seems to be all the rage in Europe. A woman's legs are perfect to me just the way the good Lord made them, true works of art. That kind of leg-wear just hides that beauty. But for some people seeing them on a fine pair of legs really gets the old motor running so to each their own.
