Dymag Stalker is two piece. It's what I've got. Also got mine with a third extension piece which takes it to nine feet if needed and I use that all the time time when fishing from the bank in awkward swims. When I'm landing from a boat I just use one piece. It does it all.

Lighter, stronger and more rigid so perfoms better, particularly when fully outstretched.
Better made, customisable.
And if it ever does break I'll be able to get it repaired.
UK built last a lifetime product over imported disposable item.
Gives me confidence knowing I've got the best tool for the job
I own 3 nets, none of which cost over £30, none of them have failed to land a single fish that I've guided anywhere near them. One of them is a cheap no name job I've had over 15 years the latest being a 2 piece saber one I paid £20 for, I have complete confidence in all of them and they all do exactly the same job as any other net, in fact the 2 piece saber is more versatile than 1 piece handle nets.
As for UK made being better than any other, well that's another aguement entirely.

And you deserve that net Tony
You have to own one and use it to understand.. There are £20 nets that land fish - but landing fish is an occasion not a chore

Fair enough we all have different opinions I guess.
My Dymag handle is three piece; it does a 3 feet, 6 feet and 9 feet handle. I also bought it with 42" and 52" arms. So covers everything and it'll last me a lifetime. Realy couldn't be arsed mucking about with three different nets.
Had plenty of £50 nets before and all broke after a couple of year's use.
Mostly broken spreader blocks, jammed spiggots or getting trodden on. I've had people (accidently) tread on my Dymag handle twice on concrete (easily done at night on footpath banks) and hasn't caused any damage whatsoever. That would be two new £50 handles gone.

Just had a look at the web page, whats the reverse taper like? How slim is the fat end?
Not much more than the Century by the looks of it.

Those who know know eh Tony? 
Spinbowler it's quite chunky on the net end, reassuringly so. I'd say about an 3/4 to an inch thick. If you want it measured I'll check tomorrow.

It's not thick at all but bloody lightweight and super rigid even when lifting up to land the fish
