I have had all those and more to rebuild ,change whippings colour etc The dymag, and chris brown are head and shoulders above the others in terms of strength ,quality and durability.Harrison used to supply all the poles and arms for the early ones for both graeme and chris . The new Korda net is nothing like graemes nets it is a copy of the original dons of edmonton net . I have also just recieved 2 kaizan rods from a very well known angler who has been testing them All guides to be changed make of it what you will.

Kaizen rods only come in 50mm sets i believe ? they use seaguide guides as on lots of daiwa rods .He wants 40mm kigan set on them . Have to say the rod looks and feels nothing special but i will take it on the field and give it a fling before i change them.

Cheers for the comparison - very useful.
I am fairly happy with my Bulldog MK2 but had always intended to get a Dymag prior to them being discontinued and since then have been toying with the Chris Brown. However with the Korda and ESP coming out I'm a bit torn.

I used to have an esp net that I really liked,really well made as most esp gear is.Having seen and held the korda net it really is well made and very rigid,I will use it on waters I don't want to leave my mk3 lay about at night

Dobbins Bobbins has designed a nice well thought out net with retaining pin spike and bankstick and the bag is quality he uses a fox camo mesh £300 all in which sounds expensive but in the grand scheme of things with other manufacturers they just offer a net and cloth/nylon bag at a near similar price point it is in my opinion a far better option you can have it personalized with his different decals or your own decals a custom build per say.
He does collaborations with various companies Sub, Monkey Climber etc...is inspired by Steve Neville stainless who sometimes helps him out with manufacturing or works on new designs, he does an awful lot for charity, now the only problem is he is run off his feet with orders which is all done in his spare time whilst holding down a full time job so ordering from his website is not going to happen just yet as having time to build stock is a bit of a way off, he originally built a batch of 30 or 40 nets and sold them on his Dobbins FB page in minutes, he did post the other day saying backlog is coming down and he should be able to open the order books in a few weeks.

Fantastic net, very rigid handle and arms, I did replace the deep mesh tho and seems even better landing fish, highly recommended

No matter how good the korda net is I think the sticking point is its made by korda who are known for making leads and end tackle. It dosent have the cult status of a dymag.
