Saintly Fish Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 My Stainless Steve landing net is just too cumbersome and long to keep on the boat. So I'm going to get shot of it (pm if interested). But what good quality net should I replace it with? I'd like small enough holes that a smut can't wedge itself and a telescopic light weight handle. What's recommended??

Andy135 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Can't you just shorten the handle and get a new net for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's recommended?? Last cast saloon (formally, Daves tackle - Gosport) have some telescopic handles on the shelf. I purchased one a few years back from a French outlet prior to stores this side getting them, my only gripe was with the rubber bung at the top that locks the poles into the handle,nothing that some packer material wouldn't sort.. I've got the Daiwa short handled version, the one I suspect you'd be looking at for the boat.. welcome to it as I have no use to it since we lost access to Blockhouse. 😪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
