round what,net or handle?

this is what i have i can thoroughly reccomend the drennan landing neti also had a telescopic handle which broke
now i just have a fixed 2.5m carbon handle.
all in under £20 if memory serves.
the net is micro mesh and suitable for catch and release
i got mine at fishingwarehouse.co.uk its just down the road.
greys also do a boat net which is massive for under £20

My current & favourite net is the carp style landing net,
it has carbon fibre arms,
you can remove the arms while theres a fish in the net & attach the scale to the arms, makes weighing fish really easy.

the good thing about this type of net is....
you can roll it up around the handle & store it in a fat rod tube to stop the bad fishy smell in the car

Diawa do a round shallow rubberised head for about £15 and you buy a telescopic carbon pole to go with it.

Default Wilco

I use a Wilco net, it has a large round net and telescopic handle, just the job.
