Hi
First attempt with a photo - hope it works. Can anyone help me with the name of this hardy telescopic trout net. Head arrangement is same as the Royale??
I had one of these 30 odd years ago and mislaid it when fishing. Searched high and low for another but without success until last year. This one is in almost unused condition. If you know anything about the net - when in the hardy range, rarity etc I would really like to hear from you. Going to hang to this one!!
Thanks
Kalvsjon

or a number if so you can get the info from hardy but i am sure someone will know for you, there are many forum members with good knowledge.

Apologies for the lack of reply - completely forgot about my post.
It's 100% Hardy - stamped on the head locking device. I have a second similar non telescopic net with a longer fixed handle - same head assembly.
Could it be an Eclipse or Royde - searched the www for images but without success?
Any info very welcome
Thanks
Kalvsjon

Looks like the Eclipse, which was the extending version of the Royde (or Improved Royde)

In Hardy catalogues for many years, both pre and post WW2

Thanks - to my mind this is one of the finest nets made - ideal for travel and engineered to perfection. This one is in near new condition - a few very minor scratches but otherwise in absolutely perfect condition.
