Surprised this hasn't been mentioned ! Another unnecessary bit of overpriced metal to lug around or a useful addition to your bag 🤔

Similar in principle to the Wychwood net holder .
Think I've only ever seen one or two of those on the bank .
Never felt the urge or need to purchase one

I do like the idea of it and seems much better than the others already out there, a lot more sturdy by the look of it. I wouldn't actually buy one myself I don't feel I need it but my dad does struggle with bending down low to the ground so would help him when fishing on his own so I can see a market for it

I can see it being popular on waters that don't allow the fish on to the bank for photographs and weighing

I think this is a very good idea,I would use it to hold my net near my rods on an extended stormpole.If I catch a fish then just drop it down so the net sits in the water,I hate having my net lay on the floor or stood up against a tree.The amount of times I have stood on my net,this would stop that and make it easier to reach during the fight

Done this a few times with two cheap bank sticks and two cheap butt tests spread out so both the net arms sit in the butt rests 👍
I just dont get why there is a need for this type of product, it just an added complication ..... Are we all expected to now buy multiple nets becasue they are now being doubled as retining slings?? .... and how many nets is enough??
.
The industry has lost perspective over fish care. A soft mat and a weigh sling was a huge step in the right direction and is all that is needed.
I would rather see a movement away from photos than this continual pressure, expectation and justification that if we keep treat them like babies it somehow erradicates dragging them from their natural habitat with a size 4 hook

It's unlucky to wet a net before a fish surely.

Best rule i've ever seen on a lake is that you can't recast untill the fish has been returned.

Why would my net be wet if the stormpole is extended and the mesh is tucked in by the spreader block
