Landing net, for roving style. Any other tips?

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

There is an ABU sea trout landing net with a compact three section extending handle but I can't find out how long it is when fully extended.

 

probably the one i got,if so handles goes to around 7-8ft

That abu one looks interesting, might be just what I am after. Will have a look online fpr it. Had a look in my local fishing shops, but they are much more carpy in their equipment.

Have a look at the Shakespear 7242 Glider 2 range of nets!! Just got myself some today and they are I have to say looking PRETTY good!! AND the price is right too!!! Handle on the 2 section is only 1500mm (5 ft)

5ft but net is a good 600mm (2 Ft) and it FEELS pretty substantial!!

 

For a LONG handle I personally do not think you can beat the ULTIMATE put together with a BIG stick!! LIGHT strong and durable!!

i use a fox 30 inch predator net with a korum handle [ power handle ] and they are both very good .

I use a 30" spoon net, with mixed mesh. It was originally, I think, supposed to be a Lure Fishing net, as it has 1/2" mesh on the sides, with 1/4" mesh at the bottom. if my memory serves me right, I got it from a well known angler at Go Fishing (at the NEC) in 1999. It's still going strong, so I reckon it's about right for the roving style I adopt, as well as my lure fishing.

 

The handle is a Drennan Super Specialist, 3m telescopic, with "twistlock". This allows you to extend it antwhere up to the 3 metres, and lock it at that position. Very strong handle and very good value. No compaints at all.

Have a look at folding Trout nets. I have one that extends from 50cm to 80cm at the touch of a button, the net arms then extend at the same time. Sorry don't know where it came from as it was a gift.
