Theres already a thread running on this i think. Ive got one and they are superb. Never thought i would say it but even better than my dymag nets i had. The only thing i dont like is how deep the net is but there bringing out a shallow mesh for it. Plenty places will give you 10% off as i paid £225 for mine.

Best net I have owned and I still have a Dymag mk3 which no longer gets used at all

What makes this the best net?
Not trolling, genuinely curious.

The main reason is how stiff it is, the pole dosent really bend at all. Nearly every net ive owned other than chris brown and dymag are way to bendy and a nightmare when your trying to net a fish. It even floats without a net float.

Tbh.. I've never noticed with any nets I've used an issue.
Maybe if I had a go with a Korda one that view could possibly change

You wont until you try one. A stiff handle makes a huge difference.

I was going to say stiff pole but that sounds even worse 😀

Wish they made an 8ft2 piece version with the same stiffness in the handle.

I think that might be to difficult. The longer it is the harder it is to maintain the same rigidity.

I nipped into the tackle shop earlier on the way to the lake and had a better look at the Korda Net.
I set it up and was surprised at how heavy it is, not sure if it's the whole thing that is heavy or the overly deep mesh that weighs it down.
I've got a Mk2 & Mk3 Dymag, I'm actually using the Mk3 tonight and the Korda one definitely feels more cumbersome than both of those.
It's a nicely put together but if kit and feels quality but just a bit heavier that's I expected.

Its the stupidly deep mesh that makes it heavy. The main reason i got it was how stiff it was.

Had mine a while and not a fan of the deep net, I guess any 42inch net will fit it though?
