Korum Opportunist Net & Handle. They're great for pushing into marginal weed and lillies. Just wish more places had some common sense and allowed variations to the standard '42inch nets only' rule which seems like a C&P from another lakes rulebook than having any real purpose.

Aside from being big enough to net a decent sized fish without hanging them like match anglers do.

Of course, if anything the rigid frame of the net makes it even easier to transfer fish onto the mat.

The new ESP Quickdraw looks a decent net, I like the concept and how the handle locks into position. ESP quality is usually very good too

Not telescopic but compact and light. I purchased the Saber 2 piece one for £25 a few years ago. It's been spot on, can never get my head round spending loads of money for something I chuck on the floor and hold for a couple of minutes very occasionally 😂

I was in the same situation - as with Fly fishing for not just trout but also Pike, Carp, Perch, Roach etc... I needed a handle that could cope with a 24", 36" and a 42" Net fitted. Ended up having to make one for myself out of Carbon & Titanium.

Sounds like the Drennan specialist handle would be ideal

This is what I use for boat fishing, was recommended on here. Had it for years and it works fine.

I have just got the recon by sonic
Also have the fox tourist landing net but it's purple so not very stealthy lol
Both have collapsible arms in way way or another so they fold down small

Here's the fox one

Highly unlikely it's available anymore though

I've actually just bought the long version for fishing the river

They do a shorter 1-2m which would be an ideal stalking handle for carp. With the twist lock feature you
Can set it the the size you need for the swim you're fishing.

And it's carbon so really lightweight
