Im looking to upgrade to a better landing net and wondered if there was a better option than the Sonik Vader landing net im currently looking at? Does anyone own this net and is it any good?

The VaderX one? Is it easy to disconnect the net when you land a fish?

Saber two piece carbon. I got one as a second net and it seems fine for the money. Not had it long so can't comment on reliability

I've got an xtractor net, and a saber 2 piece, which are both cheap but good nets in there own right. I paid £30 for the saber and it's hard to beat in terms of value.

Angling direct are doing the JRC Stealth for £54.99. Nice and compact. Fits in my Nash scope rod holdall nicely.

It's 6ft 2 piece handle, a lovely net for the price.

I don't know if Cyprinus still make their net, but i got one for about £30 a few years ago and tbf, it's been very good. Lightweight, strong and the mesh has withstood being dragged through brambles etc and some savage use in some pretty inhospitable environments. Incredible value for money and i prefer using this one to the various other more expensive nets i have sitting in my tackle room. I suspect the Saber one referred to below may be the same?
