Hey guys!
Firstly hello all, I've been a lurker for a while but decided to create an account.

I've currently got a Wychwood solace 42" landing net but looking to upgrade.

My budget is around £100, I've had my eye on the Gardener dual reach and a couple of the Trakker nets,

Cheers!

Dan

The tackle box do their own net, the quest I think it's called. Brilliant net for about £70 I think I paid

Why upgrade? Unless it's broken, they pretty much all do the same thing.

Wanted one that's a bit more solid, you are right though, definitely more want than need!

I had the Dual reach, it's not that good, do you need an extra long net or one that you can use in a boat so two part? Double your money and go for the Century net or look at the Matrix tackle options.

I've got the nash pursuit 42 and it's a bit fiddly to put together and handle flexes too much especially when fishing a weedy lake so unless your ok with this I would probably steer clear

I have 3 nets for different set ups, a proper high end dymag mk3, a terry hearn net and the sabre carbon 2 piece handled one and whilst both much more expensive nets are beautiful bits of kit the sabre one constantly impresses me as it was only £50 but its light, manoeuvrable and compact when disassembled, I've dragged it through bushes when stalking its been stood on multiple times and is generally abused but still looks and behaves like new.

The saber net looks brilliant, great price for a carbon handle too

I've made a 'DIY' net using the matrix 3k handle, freespirit shallow mesh, bulldog arms and weston developments block. Would work out at about £150 to make, is plenty stiff enough and only weighs in at 575grams (will be 540g when I swap the handle for one from defiants). Not sure how the stiffness will compare to the dymag mk3 but it will be basically the same weight at half the price.

Hitman did you buy the carbon one at that price or the cheaper (no doubt just as good) sabre net with the plastic block?
Are you sure?
