The aqua net is light and rigid. Comes in 2 versions. One with a 2 piece handle the other a 6' handle. Not cheap but a lot less than the solar.

Solar bow lite is a lovely net, and around £100. Great mesh and well built, and lightweight aswel

I agree, I didn't understand how people could say a net was brilliant. Surely a net is just a net. But the CB one is just really nice to use and well designed. Also not just another item of the conveyor belt as all hand made.

I have a 42” advanta discovery cx rover net, was about £40 and can't fault it. Metal spreader block and two part carbon handle (which I really like as it packs down into my scope bag). Can't for the life of me see what a more expensive net would offer to justify the price.

Prologic two piece handle... Slim and you couldn't bust it if you tried.
Leeda 36" net and arms...Just the right depth...most nets I've tried need you to be over 7ft tall to stop them dragging on the ground ...ridiculously deep.
£5 metal spreader block with brass threads....

It's a net....I've plenty of other things going on to waste fortunes on !
