Landing Nets

[mozza]

Gents, anyone recommend a good quality,strong landing net thats also easy to transport. I want to use it for Pike and perhaps Barbel

[Darren R]

Have a look at the 42" korum mate, pretty good and largish mesh which helps with the pike

[Deleted]

The important thing for the river is a handle of good length. 2.4m or above in length id recommend.

I use a drennan twistlock which I find spot on and very strong. I couple that with a cheap keenets 42" landing net. I wish a firm would provide a 42" triangular net, rubberised, that can connect to a long handle

[Darren R]

Did you get another keenets landing net mate ?

I'm gonna put this on the Xmas list - www.loneangler.co.uk/products/rods/lone-angler-mega-landing-net.html

They look quality

that oozes quality daz 
youd better have been extra good this year for santa to bring that    

[Darren R]

I've had this - www.korum.co.uk/Item_KNET10#.VHtc1NogGSM good net but handle is shortish, but net will attach to any pole

These are also very good - www.korum.co.uk/Item_KFSNET-22#.VHtdkdogGSM

I've got one, the 30" is equivalent of a 36" triangular net, quality nets good for barbel and I've had some decent pike in one

I personally wouldn't go overboard on a net for pike but like Jim said, a good strong handle is a good idea.

I went on eBay and bought a 42" wide mesh net, 2 metre handle with screw fitting for transporting (would prefer an 8'), float and stink bag for £23.
Any rips I repair with fine fishing line till its ready for the bin then I've got two spare mesh's in the cupboard.  All folds away and goes in my quiver.

Gardner net handle


Just bought the above, a good solid net handle. I bought a 36" dinsmore triangular net off ebay which was reasonably priced and has lasted well. I originally bought a 42" but found it too big and it was always getting snagged. ABU do a foldable spoon net which has good reviews.
