Chaps,

I've been trying to get hold of Dymag tackle for months now and no reply. Would like one of his nets made up, I do hope he still trading?

Regards,
Mike

What a shame that is to hear. Always liked his gear and wanted one of his nets but could never afford one, now I can I can't get one anymore! Typical!

Who does a really nice quality stiff net? You'd think a decent net wouldn't be that difficult to achieve but so many I've seen are awful, floppy arms and poor block design where the arms can pop out. My friend had a top of the range free spirit and I was not impressed

Think I'll have to go down the custom route but I can't seem to find seem to find a spreader block design I like!

A Chris brown net is what you want. You won't buy better

Its amazing what **** gets thrown around .Graeme (dymag) has like the rest of us rod builders have and are suffering with price increases stock issues etc .If harrisons are struggling to get supplies and they have been then we for sure will struggle.The profit in custom rod builds really is low and margins are really tight.rods and nets for dymag were always a sideline he had much bigger fish to fry automotive industry etc.I very much doubt he shafted anyone and i know he had personal and health issues.
Edit :: Like Ian says have a look at the Chris brown nets.

Well said !
Graeme is one of the best producers of Carp fishing custom products that has ever been and could not be more helpful in the dealings I had with him I was sad to hear of his health problems and supply issues
and hope he is well now a top bloke

I found a very interesting landing net in a german forum, check out the video (it has english subtitles):

I can't speak for the quality as I don't own one, but I have to say I'm very tempted.

I hope my last post didn't come across as insensitive, I wasn't aware of possible health issues and I wish Graeme all the best.

Although the CB nets may be very practical and well made I've always thought they look so ugly! Sorry cb fans, shallow I know but if I'm paying upto or over £200 for a landing net I want it to look like a work of art like Graeme's did. Hence saying I'm probably going to have to go down the custom route, just need to find the right builder.

It's fishing, not fashion.. if you want functional then there is no better . He will do them with whatever colour whippings you want too. If you want any something that looks nice but is more expensive and not as good then get something else lol . There's no guarantee a custom will be what you want

I hear what you're say ip100 and have never cared about the latest fashion but I still want it to please my own eyes as well as being functional.

Surely most rod builders can get hold of the same carbon as dymag did? Or was it exclusive to Graeme? If I can get the same handle and arms I'm half way there. Then just need to find a spreader block I like and the right builder to do it. That's the plan anyway, I can't see why it can't be done as long has the carbons not exclusive
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
