Went with the matrix 3k not used it yet thanks for all your input

I really do love the ESP Terry Hearn net, really nicely made and a doddle to break down.

another vote from me for the ESP nets.........

The ESP ones break down quickly and without fuss. The spreader block is a small winged aluminium affair, and they are a doddle to collapse when you're dealing with a fish or packing down to go home.

What about the Korda Kaizen Green?
Im in the market for a new net and I cant decide between the Kaizen and the Matrix 3K

The Mk2 doesn't use pins - it's a stainless milled spreader in a Y shape that the carbon arms slide in to. In this regard it's the same as the 3K, however is a little more difficult to assemble given that the holes/arms are closer in diameters than the 3k arms/block.

I find it locates really easily / is solid once under tension / pops out easily with elbow method - perfect!

If you want to go cheaper but still have a decent net (or in this case a pair for your budget) can recommend Solar Bow-Lite . . .42" / 6' two piece but stiff enough - the block has protruding s/s pins (rather than holes to accept pins on the arms) and the arms have a reinforced stainless spigot making it solid / hardwearing as well as easy to locate and remove using elbow method . . .

I moved the 3k on however still have the Mk2 Bull Dog - this is stiffer than the 3k and now available again via Johnson Ross.
While I've not owned the Bulldog Mk2 it has those awful steel pin arms that go into the block, I bought the 3K specifically for the traditional block to get away from fighting the difficult pin type arms, in my case the Gardner Dual Reach.

The Matrix net is very nice, however the Chris Brown is much stiffer and better in use (despite being much more agricultural in appearence).
