Want to buy a new net, what's the best at the moment?
Like the look of the Korda one until I seen the price
£100/150 tops

ESP, Solar, Chris Brown all get good write ups and within your budget

If your wanting to spend upwards of £150 on a landing net look at Johnson Ross tackle matrix 3k camo landing net and pole within your budget of £150 light weight and stiff ridged handle

Chris Brown net a wise investment at a reasonable price.

I would look at a Harrison Torrix net stiffer than the matrix for a similar cost.

I thought the matrix was a torrix handle or was that just the matrix bulldog

Tackle box CFX net
The glass Chris Brown net is £126 including the 3ft extension. In a world of £900 bivvys and £1000 barrows it is one of fishing's great bargains.
The only other net, whether in or out of production, that I would buy over that is the carbon version. Just above budget at £180. It just looks a bit nicer with the 12K weave.
You can even speak to Chris on the phone and ask him about it, imagine that..someone who picks up the phone and has a conversation.

Looked at both in JR, they were exactly the same, bloke serving me gave me a nod and a wink when I pointed this out.
Don't get me wrong I'm a bit of a stunner when I'm at my fighting weight and in a suit as I was that day but I'm sure that he was referring to the stable both handles came from rather than my chance of a Nando's for two.

Just got an Aqua atom for under £100 on tft really nice net for the money.
Having just got a Chris Brown net (in my case carbon) I would highly recommend this. Compared to the Matrix Bulldog and 3k (which I believe have the Torrix arms and pole respectively) it is far more rigid.
Can't see this obsession with rigid arms on nets to be honest .
Due to my arthritis I bought two solar nets and found them easy to collapse .
But a lot of posters on here said these nets were pants , floppy arms , terrible to manoeuvre in the water , overpriced , Locky was on drugs when he designed these .
To which all these comments I found very amusing .
It's a net FFS and does the job perfectly even with floppy arms .
I really wonder on the type of people with these opinions who live amongst us 🤔

I can't see the fuss about rigid arms either.
Maybe it's a case that you don't realise until you've tried them? Well that's easy for me, I won't try one, so will continue to wonder what's all the fuss about and continue to be happy with what I've got.

A stiffer net has never caught me more fish, not have I ever lost a fish due to flex in a net. However it is far easier to 'scoop' a fish when the net is rigid, otherwise you lift the handle and the net head/drawcord lags behind substantially.

Matrix is 3K carbon torrix is 1K carbon so definitely not the same 👍 johnson rosses torrix net comes with matrix spreader and net though 👍
