Matrix top dollar, however for a few quid more ‘probably quite a few quid actually' then according to rave reviews I'd go for the dymag.

I got the dymag just never being fishing since buying it to use it.

I thought my bulldog net was crap, it was really floppy. Theres only two nets i would ever part with my money for and thats a dymag net or a chris brown carbon net.

my matrix bulldog is brilliant is tight as anything no sag at all and light as anything a doddle to land fish and still going strong after many years. Best net i have ever used and that includes using lots of other anglers nets.Not used the dynamag so cant comment on that and can only think stuarts bulldog was faulty as others have agreed with me.

Same as mate had plenty of highend nets & the Bulldog was definitely the stiffest !!

Mind used to bend like a 2lb test curve armalite with a 50lb carp on the end. I didnt like it at all. Mine was one of the ones when they first came out so they may of stiffened them up.

The 3k camo net is awesome mate iv been using this all year, it's so light it's unreal and very well made the net itself is the the perfect depth and soft with a camo finish and the pole is stronge light and thin and has a nice weave I'd go as far as to say it's the best net out there, get one you won't regret it

Can't comment on the whole net system but have used the 3k handle on my project net whilst awaiting a different handle. Very stiff handle with virtually no flex (stiffer than the bulldog handle in my opinion) and nice grip sections on both end.

really strange as everyone you speak to who had the bulldog net thinks it was great and very stiff and fantastically light apart from stuart.The reason i find it strange is i dont see how he can claim his was floppy because it isnt .I still have mine from about 10 years ago its still fantastic just a bit of a pain undoing sometimes.Going to buy another for the only reason i need 2 .Will let you know what i think richard as ordering one now

I have a mk2 bulldog - very nice net but as said a little awkward to seperate apart. I've never thought it was floppy though.

I've been trying to make the lightest net I can out of individual components and bought this handle to use whilst awaiting a custom jobby from defiant. Although it was only supposed to be a temp substitute I'm really impressed with it and will probably keep it as a spare.
