Snowbee replacement landing nets - any good?

[Hopinc]

Hi Guys,

 

I need a replacement net for my 24" diameter Gye and was wondering if the Snowbee knotless ones are any good?

 

Ideally I would prefer a lure type mesh that is not so easily penetrated by hook points, but a reasonably large open mesh would also suffice.

 

 

Thanks.

Have you seen the Whitlock nets? I dont use them myself but my boss does a lot of game fishing and he raves about his.

Thank you for responding to my post and for your helpful suggestion.

 

Actually, I only need a replacement mesh as I already have a very good 24" diameter Sharpes Gye net with leather peel sling.

 

The replacement Canadian meshes listed on the web site you supplied the link for seem to be a bit on the expensive side at nearly £20 for the size I need. The Snowbee version might not be as good, but at half the price I could get two of those.

 

On the other hand, they well be worth the money. I will make a decision when I have some more data to go on. At the moment I am really just looking for an opinion about the quality of the Snowbee ones?

 

Tight lines.

Thanks Budgie.

 

That's definitely the type of mesh I am looking for.

I'd echo what Budgie posted. Dave's meshes are the same as the Titeweave Pikemesh ones I'd sold in my time at Caliber. In fact I used to supply Dave!
