Morning, looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced landing net handle and spreader block, I have the 42" nets.
Something strong, durable with a block that is easy to remove the net from when and if you get a fish.
Both my current Matrix Innovation carbon handles (knew they was to thin) and their universal black spreader have broken, they look good but clearly are not up to the job.
Someone did say get a Chis Brown one but they are to expensive as I need two and to be honest look awful in my opinion
Thanks.

Get yourself a torrix handle if you dont like chris brown . Unfortunately like most you are going for looks over what is the best.

Can highly recommend the Tacklebox handle and ally spreader block.

Not good reading that about the block, I've recently got 2 of them.
Not 'Carpy' but the Drennan Super Specialist twist lock is hard to beat, imo.

I wouldn't take too much notice. The Matrix nets are probably best on test.

I believe they do a carpy version too, now.
Are you sure?
