I bought the Trakker EQ one a while ago and it is garbage. However, i replaced it with the Sonik Vader X two piece handle one and think it is excellent value for money.

It looks like I might have purchased the non carbon one but for the price only time will tell if it's any good 👍

I stick with Prologic nets, they are always easy to take apart after landing a fish.
Mine has the plastic spreader bloke, does its job thou.
Will end up as a spare, the full carbon with small spreader block looks proper smart to be fair

Just seen my mate one of these, it looks very good for the money and he has had it a couple of years, not quiet as stiff as my carbon one but undoubtedly does the job well, looks like a decent no frills net at a very good price what more could you ask for

Another vote for the Saber. Light, stiff and handy.

Hi I've been on the lookout for a net for a while. I'm pretty sure I read about Solar bringing out a cheaper version of the bow lock, think it's called the 'A1' and will retail at £150.Anyone else seen it?

Saw it advertised somewhere as in stock the other day whilst browsing - it is called the A1 bowlock. From the description it sounded the same apart from the block not being stainless - although I am sure there must be other differences to justify the price difference.

Daytripper, think it was pre-order from TFT.

Such a shame wasn't it, as the rest of their gear I find very good?

Was looking at the tacklebox one for £65. Don't hear many reviews but the people who have them seem to rate them.

From my own experience, most, if not all landing nets are proper s**t. They're either far too heavy with daft materials like stainless spreaders, flimsy as f**k that bend double just dipped in the drink, nutty heavy handle's that needs two to lift a fish out of the water, or a combination of all the above.
There's a chepo two piece handle net that JRC does - 50 or so quids - that is pretty decent, but my favourite is Terry Hearns net as its got decent arms that don't bend too much, is nice and big and is light. I did ditch the handle on the Hearn net and replaced it with a Gardner extending pole which works out very well. I've also got a Dymag stalker net with the 3 piece handle, but I don't use it much as it's far too posh and I don't wanna get it pinched, though it is the nuts as is Dymag tackle generally.

Any chance you can weigh it? net and handle, i'd be interested to see how it compares with the Matrix, Aqua and Century net's.
