There seems to be a big difference between the X Lite and the X Lite Roamer which i don't think you can get now. Today's X Lite do not have a collapsible spreader block.
And realised now, mines a 50" not a 42" and no one last year had a JRC 50" in stock so had to get a tacklebox one as I needed it quick. One or two of my local shops did not stock spare nets and put the emphasis on buying a new landing net complete or even want to order you one.

I brought the new Aqua landing net in December. So far I'm really pleased with it. Comes out and goes in the block nice and easy.

Anyone got any experience of the Xtractor nets?
I've been making do with a saber cheapo for too long now and to be honest for the money it's cracking

So....the jrc xlite roamer 42" are now discontinued.

I have the JRC Roamer X Lite in 42 and 50 inch versions. I have just bought a Solar landing net so would let the 42 inch go. It would have to be pick up though.Romford area.

I have a 46” hi-S net and love it. But am starting to struggle with the small block, especially when trying to take it down with a fish in to move it.
I need a second net and that matrix camo net looks a good alternative.
I am very lucky to fish a lake where most fish are 20's and probably every 10'th is a low 30, with the chance of fish to 40.
Should I go 42” or 50”?
I'm thinking sell the hi-S net and use the money plus some for 2x matrix camo nets.

I've got the jrc roamer net it sound like the one the op used
It's a badly designed net you can't remove the net arms from the spreader block, makes moving fish from the water to your mat a nightmare

The JRC X Lite Roamer is a good net. The arms are connected but the whole spreader block detaches from the handle via a short extension. Fold the arms, pull the extension off the handle and move to your mat. it could not be more simple

Guess it's just me then that doesn't like the fact the arm don't detach from the spreader block.
I like to weigh a fish still in the net inside the sling and found block and handle got in the way, I've had the net for a few years now and honestly don't like it's design, I originally brought it thinking it would separate like the solar bow loc

The arms in mine come out of the block when you collapse it... are they not supposed to?
