I have a 2 picec landing net handle I can't separate. Any ideas please?
Maybe some wd40 or silicon lubricant left to try and run down into the join
Wrap in ice for a while
Then use some rubber gloves / sheet or similar to get a good grip and then twist and pull at same time

Try a bag of frozen peas on it (or anything else cold)

Pour some warm water over the overfit female section while trying to turn the male section loose, should work.
EDITED

My friend once told me to rub nose sweat onto the joints before putting together.
Not sure if he was pulling my whatsit or not though but i did do it for a few years and never had a problem!

What if you don't have any nose sweat?

Toe jam or ear wax works just as well.

Bag of frozen peas around the joint for 20 minutes.
Get someone at either end of handle pulling / twisting while you gently tap around the joint with a wooden spoon.

Ice trick is by far the best method.

My thoughts exactly. It can stay as a one piece handle.

It can't. It's a JRC net where the top section is very short and has the net attached to it. I'm going to try what you guys have advised.

Thanks for all the suggestions. None of them worked so I took it to The Tackle Box and they sorted it for me.

How did they get it apart?
The ice method has never failed me!
