Looking for landing net recommendations.
I have had my fox one for about 6 years now and it's got harder and harder to detach the net, especially when I have a fish in the net.
I'm after a net which is minimum effort to dismantle.
I like the look of the esp onyx nets, any one got anything to say about them or indeed recommendation for other nets.
Many thanks

Sonik Vader x landing nets that's all I use net arms go in and out of the spreader block nice and easy and all for the pricely sum of £50 come in either a 1or 2 piece handle . if I was to spend silly money on a landing net it would be the matrix innovations 3k net with camo mesh nice solid ridged net and pole and the net arms come out nice and easy but nearly 3mx the price of the sonik ones

I have the Onyx Quickdraw net. Really please with it. It has the Twist lock extension which works well. Love the really small spreader block (same one used on the more expensive Terry Hearn version) Really easy to breakdown with a fish in the net. The mesh is a lot deeper than most nets, which I really like, but may be an issue in some cases if fishing snaggy swims?
ESP have now just released a single 6ft pole and the net head seperately as well if you dont want extendable twist lock version.

Depends on your budget. I have 2 x Solar P1 Bow locs and swear by them. Dismantle by a press of a button yet to find something easier to use. They are expensive though but Im not planning to replace them for many years making the price more acceptable

If you are not in a rush to change and depending on what you are willing to spend I would wait for the korda net.

I thought the p1 bowloc was terrible when I tried one,the mechanism to fold it up is good but the handle was not stiff enough and bowed when netting fish

Dunno what model you tried the old bow loc was terrible for bowing but the newer ones for me personally are great. I have the telescopic versions before they replaced them with sections and love it. Netted me plenty of fish and never had an issue with them bar some rats eating through one of the nets.

Solid, inexpensive, deals with the brutal US conditions well. And the arms come out OK!

IMO your 2 best choices would be
a good budget price with top notch performance the Sonik Vader x landing net
or
other end of the scale possibly the best available net today a Chis Brown landing net
