Dear gentleman,

If you had to choose between the Korda Spring Bow Landing Net and the Matrix 3k Landing Net; which one would you choose? Thanks!

From reviews I'd likely go with another option, Chris brown net at half the cost of Kordas. No slating any just a big saving and by all accounts a fantastic net.

I believe this is now discontinued - it has disappeared from the Matrix site.

I've had both nets, the Matrix 3k is a great net to be fair and will do you a fine job.
If your not put off by the price difference go for the Korda Springbow. It's on another level, lightweight and extremely rigid, very easy to move through the water and floats without the need of a net float.
I've been very impressed with it👍

I absolutely love my korda net. I had a century titanium before, that i really rated but the korda one is on another level!

A good mate of mine used to swear by solar bow loc nets until he saw what a load of floppy old rubbish they are compared to the korda net

If the Korda one is the only one with a reverse taper then that is the one I'd choose. I've got a dymag net and the reverse taper makes it so easy to use. The new korda net is the closest thing I've seen to the dymag nets

exactly the same, I had the century 54" Ti net and compared to the korda it was like a bloody flop stick. PX'd it at the tackle tavern and got a 50" Springbow

At least with the korda ones you get a very deep mesh, makes life much better!

Personally think the mesh is way to deep on my korda bit there bringing out a shallow version so will get that when its out.

I thought exactly the same to start with, but if you have got deep margins the deep mesh is brilliant as it allows you to keep the fish safely in the net whilst sorting your weighing gear etc out.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
