I need a new landing net and seen a saber one on eBay, I have a saber retainer/weigh sling and it's fairly decent. Does anyone have the landing net?

If its the 2 piece handle then I have one, had no problems with it, the handle is slightly bendy with a wet net but nothing to worry about, paid £19.99 for mine.

I've got one and I love it. It's really light and easy to use/carry.

It's the one with the small fittings into the spreader block if that makes any sense

I got one of them for my short session gear/set up I found that the arm ends where they go into the spreader block to be way too small in diameter for my liking, then when landing a fish and bringing it back they propped out, I cured this by packing with insulation tape to make a snug fit I also found the net to be a bit shallow too, I've kept mine as a spare emergency net now

Because I wanted a 2 piece handle I went for a JRC specialist plus 42in I can't remember what I paid for it but it's a lot better quality, the 2 piece pole on the saber was ok it was just the net & block I didn't like

The JRC specialist is the one, had mine years and not sure you can buy them anymore, worth looking second hand

Think SONIK do a few nets that had meant to be OK for about £50.

currently use the wychwood solace two piece net. Fantastic, light, well built and folds down really small.
