Is anyone using a Fencl Landing net by any chance?
I really like the look of the spreader block, single twist release of the arms via the handle, magnetised arms that don't fall out of the block....pass on the net and handle though.

That's a lot of wedge for a landing net
Looks good though

I would say one of the best spreader blocks in my opinion is the old fox ‘trigger' lock just get one of them and build a net around it, trigger style 😀

I've looked at them but ideally want single handed net release, I may be wrong but I cant imagine the centre bolts thing on the TL moving easily with one hand, could be wrong though. Also considered the Cocoon and have a Top Notch. The TN would be fine if the cross bar stopped in the lock position on reassembly but it goes past.

That's my issue, said it before on here, I Idon't want my elbow getting wet especially when the waters near freezing never mind if its got a coat or whatever covering it.
Why oh why the method of sticking a elbow against the wet net has become a thing is beyond me

What blasphemy.......creating a issue that didn't exist before (and some would say still doesn't, just a moaning old git) and then selling something to fix it.....surely not
The Korda Kover perhaps...no that'll be reserved for the net (damn all those jumping Carp)
I think we need a Korda Kapitulator (a small tablet that makes you want...err...everything)
And no I'm not green with envy (like it)...I actually do like Korda.

Looks a bit thick and made of plastic, not saying it is, just looks it in my opinion

The handle does look ideal for painting the ceiling though 
The whole thing looks like it would weigh quite a bit to be honest. Can't say I've ever got a wet elbow collapsing my Chris Brown net, and a fair bit cheaper.

For comparison:
Dymag 42” arms with two-piece handle all in stink bag - 747g
Fencl 42” - 43 oz = 1219g

Agree re the comments, I'm only interested in the spreader block. The description also says the arms have a foam coating, guess it would aid floating but I'd imagine UV would make it quite tatty over time.
It'll be one of those again where its made so nothing else is interchangeable with it, ie other arms. Oh well, was worth a ask!
One day someone will bring out a decent qr spreader block with single handed operation.
