Hi all I am looking at replacing my esp paragon net due to it being like a floppy c__k when wet and has almost cost me fish a few times.
I'm looking at the fibre glass version and just wondering how stiff they are and if anyone has any experience with this version ? Also do they come with deep mesh
Cheers

I have the fibre glass net and it's the best net I have ever used. Very stiff, lightweight and easy to set up and break down.
When I ordered I was concerned about should I go for the carbon or fibre glass. But when it arrived I was amazed how light it was.

Best nets on the market for me. Ive got the carbon one but would happily use the glass one as well. Totally bullet proof and will last years. I actually preferred mine over my dymag net thats how highly i rate them.

I have the carbon 42" with the 3ft extension. Can't speak for the fibreglass version but the one I have is excellent. Certainly better than the floppy ones I see everyone using on you tube .

I've had a few . The 2 piece is my favourite. I do have the fold over version which is not user friendly

I have built a number of harrison and century based nets over the years but always point people in the direction of chris,s nets first .Superb quality that will last.

I have a carbon one and my mate has a fibreglass one. Can't tell the difference to be honest!

Maybe a dumb question, but will a standard 42” net fit the CB 42”? Looks like his arms may be longer than the width of the net cord.

Love the carbon pole and arms but not a fan of the mesh mesh he uses, I fish a fairly wild lake and it seems to snag more than others and rip easily.

I use a rubberised net for pike so hooks dont snag . Any 42" net will fit chris

I have had a CB 42" carbon for donkeys years now. I've had a 42" Solar mesh on it, and a 42" Gardner mesh on it. Both fitted absolutely fine.

One item of tackle that I will take to the grave with me unless I stupidly break it somehow. That's how good they are.

I've been given numerous nets for free over the years since I've had it, including two other carbon landing nets. None were as good.

Paid for my CB net. I think I would honestly cry if I broke it, as they no longer make the reverse taper handle.
