I'll check this out, I have one eye on the fox explorer

They only came out last month well worth a look buddy

I have a large round pike net with a tubular surround. Everyone had them on an old syndicate I fished as it was very weedy and the round net doesn't collapse like traditional nets. It just pushes through the weed and scopes up weed and fish. I have replaced the pike net with a solar one and It does the job fantastically. I think it was an efegecco one? But a quick goggle and there are a few about.
Only downside is carrying it but in my opinion it is worth it. If sits on my bedchair on the barrow so not to bad. Caught me a few fish in weedy lakes where traditional nets would have collapsed.
Funny enough saw this on Adam pennings latest video. Bonus is the price.
