Folding lure/Sea fishing landing net

[Ken L]

A landing net is as useful abroad as it is in the UK and in the past, I've taken sea style nets travelling with me on my travels and simply left them there when I move on.

As my next trip is likely to cover several different locations, it'd be useful to have a net that I can readily fold up and take with me to the next destination.

Ideally, it'll be about 80cn diameter and have a lure resistant mesh and fold up to fit in a tube of some description.

Carp nets arn't really an option because the mesh makes then to hard to handle in any sort of swell or current.

Any suggestions

i got a long telescopic folding landing net fron decatholon for £9 it extends to about 9-10ft its has a twist to lock triple extending handle and a folding net head but its not lure proof unless they have barbless hooks and its a medium sized net with a alluminium handle,theres a smaller double extending net for trout for about £7

Look at the folding game fishing nets Ken.

This one maybe?

 

Won't fit in a tube but looks like it may fit your needs otherwise.

The game nets are all a bit small but that's the kind of thing I'm after.

Newt's suggestion is very similar to the one that I took to India on the last trip (only with better mesh) and I supose I might well end up with something similar next time arround. Not the easiest thing to carry though and easy to get bent buy baggage handlers.
