Machali Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Hello guys. I'm looking for a new landing net. I was using an old from my dad, but in some occasions I had some trouble to free the carp from it (mesh wraps around the dorsal fin). Now I'm looking for a new one that doesn't do the same. Any suggestions? PS.: I'll buy in a near future a weigh sling, looking for recommendations Edited January 20, 2020 by Machali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of net is it? It sounds like it's a problem with the mesh rather than the net itself so you might just be better off replacing that.

commonly Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The one's I use, had them for several years. Air dry after use. Very impressed with them. I brought the net from Yately angling centre for about £80-90. Nice stiff pole, worth going into the shop to test, down to preference if you like it hard or soft😜 Machali 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has near 20 years, is a bit weak and small. Had a big trouble landing a 17lb carp with it. Looking for a new one (or maybe used if can find a good offer), with a fish friendly mesh, and bigger. I'm looking for something affordable, but prefer to pay a bit more for something good that last for a couple of years.

In this case it would be worth the trip to shop and try it in UK commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 We tend to use a 42 inch (106cm) net over here for carp fishing. It's the pole for the net I was advising you to try. The greys one is quite stiff. The Trakker one broke on the spigot within a few outings!! Not happy about that😒 26 minutes ago, Machali said: The net i have now is one like that one from the photo.
