I took a punt on the NGT Dynamic 3 piece handle - 8.5 feet, carbon, and can be used with only one or two sections if required. I think it was only released this year. Not fashionable, I know, but I found it to be ideal.
It seems plenty strong enough, is decently light, nice grippy stuff where you hold it on each section and has survived being trodden on a couple of times. It's a pole made of carbon; old technology and not a lot to go wrong. Cheap as chips too, so if it did break it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Best of all it has proven to be extremely lucky, helping me to land my new personal best four times since September.

The only 3 piece landing net handle I would consider would be a Dymag Tackle one.
Fantastic craftsmanship. Buy quality once, bought for life.

Just general reply not at you
How many three piece landing net poles are there out there?
I know you can get telescopic
But they re not really fit for purpose for big fish
Or can someone show me different?

all my rods are short rods, I only fish small waters and I see no point in casting from one side of a lake to the other.... I just walk round and drop a bait in where I want to fish... that said my Dwarf 9' rods supposedly can hit 100 yards plus depending on who you talk to and my Sharpe's 9' can comfortably hit 60-70 yards... don't see the point in me buying owt bigger TBH

I have 3 sets of rods, my 13ft casting rods for long range fishing and bag work, my 12ft all round rods for most of my fishing but they are not used much now and a set of 9ft rods for a small water fishing and only use them at one lake as I am not a big fan of them. That said I have had the 9ft rods a good 4 or so years and if I take my 10 year old step daughter fishing with me she fishers with the 9ft rods as the 12 and 13ft rods are to long for her to cast.

yes i understand that and if there was a bow or any wind i wouldn't record it...when i was casting it was flat calm plus i have recorded my distances in a field as recommended by tel....
what pee'd me off was the sarcy assumption

Is that aimed at me?

It was a perfectly calm day and I know when I've hit a range pal...plus the point of the exercise was to establish if I could use these rods in most scenarios I face.

I'm not saying these rods can't do it as I know full well they can and more. What I am saying is anyone considering these that requires this range should try them on a measured court before buying. Many can't hit 120 with a 12ft rod .

OK, perhaps I could have worded it a bit better. If you hit the clip 'correctly', ie; no visible bow or slack line.

In reply to Post #129
No, you can hit the clip with a bow in the line between you and the lead, even more so with strong cross winds.

Always makes me laugh these type of comments. Surely if you hit the clip and the line is tight, you have cast the said distance?
|

In reply to Post #127
Now retrieve the slack line between you and the lead and you probably cast 85 yards.
