So my trusty old Nash Dwarf net is coming to the end.
When I extend the pole, the 2 sections come away from eachother due to the carbon wearing down.
Are there any cheapish telescopic nets about anyone can recommend?

You used to be able to buy spray on 'stuff' to build up the joints, I believe the match circuit used it for their roach poles which get far more use than a landing net.

We used to rub a candle on the ferrule when the rod joints got loose back in the day, would that work?
Seems a shame to throw it away if a quick fix will give it a few more years.

It would be a tricky repair for some. The spreader block on the Dwarf doesn't come off, meaning you can't slide the upper section out of the bottom of the lower section enabling you to build up the worn area.

If that's the case I'll take back my repair suggestion. Like most thing's, obviously designed to be a throw away item.

Drennan Super Specialist Compact twistlock landing net handle - packs down to 115cms and extends to 2M. Just be careful with overtightening when you extend to ensure the mechanism lasts and give it a clean every season . . .takes any spreader block but I've found the standard fox moulded one is great for ease of popping out arms of pretty much any net

I've got the Advanta Discovery Rover 42 inch landing net. It's not telescopic but the handle is in two parts so packs down to 42 inches. Can't fault it.
