Hi l've got a trackker hydro landing net which is a decent net but do l struggle to get it together and break down so have been using my old fox one which as had it now so been looking at replacing the tracker hydro net but unless l spent stupid money don't think l'll get one much better and someone mentioned replacing the cord so it isn't quite so tight anyone done this and could recommend a decent replacement cord.
Many thanks in advance

Depending on how it fits in the end ferrules - Strimmer Wire

Lasts forever, but you need to feed it through a bead and then blob the end over with a lighter and pull back to the bead.

Thanks for the replies lads but only gone and bought a matrix 3K net sounds like it should be a bit easier to put together and break down

I've found the more you pay for a net(to a point) the stiffer they are, so the harder they are to put together until you get the knack of it. The only trakker net I've used is the eq net, I actually shortened the cord by about 4 inches to put more tension in the arms as I found it so floppy

And I've had it over 10 years lol. Sometimes I can do it first time. But other times it's a 5 minute sweat for a poxy
Net. 😂
