I was once in a syndicate of 30 anglers, and over half of the members had Dymag nets. Some of them weren't particularly well off, so that says a lot to me about the product. I suppose it sounds silly getting excited about a landing net but, they really are lovely. One day I think I'll treat myself.

I've used one, no disputing it's a nicely made net.
Personally I've never found the cheap nets with plastic blocks heavy in use and this is the only real benefit of the dymag. Yes it is stiffer, but if you are using a net in such a way that it's excessively bent then you're doing it wrong.

None of them are particularly heavy until there wet that's when you notice the difference between the Dymag and others plus the Dymag floats so you don't need one of those silly net floats,I have one I bought for £100 second hand the guy had only used it twice and needed the money
I got lucky

No not the pin cushion tiny tazi

20 years ago I used a 36" net with a solid pole with glorified garden rake plastic grips on the handle.
5 years ago I was using a Sonik 42" type with a plastic spreader block which eventually broke.
Next I had a Shimano Tribal net which was brilliant albeit heavy.
The Dymag was natural progression to me. I took advice on here then just made a leap of faith. The Dymag is streets ahead of anything else I have seen or used. It looks amazing, its custom (to a degree) and it does the job perfectly. Its light, stiff and moves through the water so easily.
I dont think anybody who has used the Dymag questions it is the best out there but most just cant warrant £300 on a net.
My take on it all anyway.

I couldn't warrant it but listened and took a good few months decide and its all your fault

Will I be banned for it??

And soon you will be using that net and you will realise what you have been missing with your 'old' nets.
You wont believe how effortless it is moving it through the water

The ease of movement through water is more to do with what mesh a net has really.
As I said, I've used one (for a good while) and it's made beautifully as you'd expect. My personal issue is that no net needs to cost that much or be so well made, yet I would recommend it to anyone that thinks otherwise. I'd much rather 2 or 3 cheap nets that are almost disposable plus a wad of change

Jeeeee, busted..

You're not wrong Jon. I just want one quality net.
I think the net is a net made by A N Other, but Graeme cuts the label off so its difficult to spot whose it is. The slimness of the arms and that thin kevlar string he uses between the arms also helps it cut through the water.

Story time.
March this year I caught a fairly nice carp at St John's. (photo on UB Baits Facebook page). Cos I'm an old git the nipper from next swim insisted on netting it for me, contrary to my wishes. He used my shiny newish Dymag net - having netted it he tugged the arms out of the spreader block and lobbed the pole across the gravel swim and up the bank all I could see was my net pole bouncing up the bank. Anyway "nipper" is now buried at the back of swim 11 with his arse sticking out of the ground, so I have somewhere to park my power porter,

Did the nipper (RIP) take the pic as well? Having had a look it definitely looks like you are saying “wait till I put this fish back you little **** I'm going to insert a storm pole up your arse and bury you over there” through gritted teeth

That's why nobody nets my fish for me I would much rather do it myself

Bit late, not been on much, glad you got the net in the end

In reply to Post #138
Glad I found this thread, was waiting for the new Aqua net, but binned that idea and just contacted Graeme to see if he would take my order for a mark 3

Thanks to all on this thread
