this is a question that comes up a lot and there are lots of answers
going back to Dons of Edmonton way back in 1975
they bought out a Spring bow a strong flexible lightweight landing net combined with a stiff reliable 6ft handle we copied it using 2 top sections of 30lb test boat rods
I now see KORDA are releasing it again but at £250 !!! FFS ! it will need to be using as good a carbon as DYMAG nets are made off for that money

Does Graham make the handles himself from carbon cloth, or buy them in ready made?

It almost looks as bad as there new kaizen rods. No way would i be parting with £250 for that. It looks like it costs £50.

Graeme owns the mandrel his handles are made on. He has used more than one company to make them.

Think Gerry was suggesting it needs to be of a similar quality, not that it was dymag. Either way, looks very similar to my matrix camo and twice the price.

The pictures don't do it justice,it is extremely rigid,light and the block is really well made(JAG).I will be getting one but won't be paying £250

yea the handle is important
BUT THE ARMS AND BLOCK ARE THE REAL IMPORTANT THING
there you need super lightweight and super rigidity with no drooping with just a wet net
like the Solar bowlock pile of shyte I bought a few years ago when it came out and sold on without even using it
and TRUST ME I am a huge Solar fan but boy did they drop the ball with that net ! I replaced it with a DYMAG Mk2 it was like comparing a 80`s Fiat Panda and the latest Porsche
but to be fair the early first bowlock was a good net though but that was different gravy

I have the mk3 dymag and side by side the korda net is just as good,I guess I will see once I use it on the bank if that is true

Hi Gerry,
I love my Dymag MK3, however need to replace my old spare century net as it's seen better days, do you have any experience of the Terry H- ESP Reverse taper net, not seen one in the flesh so looking for some feedback??
