    Some questions for Drennan landing net users please

    Afternoon all, It looks like I might finally have to replace my trusty landing net which I have been using for over 20 years - although it is a bit like Trigger's broom! What I like in a net is: Robustness - I am not gentle on my tackle and it needs to be bramble-proof! Depth of mesh - my...

    Dave Lumb Bait Blaster 1 (BB350)

    This rod is one of many that has sat in my loft for several years. From Dave's website: "Despite the test curve the BB350 is a comparatively forgiving rod, but is well capable of casting foot long herrings, or hurling big leads a long way. As well as being useful for long range casting the...

    This is the high end version - 9 foot handle, 12K plain weave carbon, glass hyperfil composite epoxy resin. This is a lockdown purchase at a time when I was lamenting the death of my existing landing net handle, subsequently made better than new by a fellow BFW'er (thanks Mr G). As a result...

    Landing net assistance required please

    Hi guys, I need to pick your brains please. I have been using the same extending landing net handle for 20 years now - one of Trefor West's which, although heavy, appears bomb-proof (I really hope I haven't jinxed it). At some point in the last ten years I bought a spare which is much lighter...
