32" landing net mesh

[Ben Jennings]

I've got a 32" jrc net that I picked up second hand and am going to use it as my barbel net. However the mesh is too fine does anyone know of a good replacement river friendly mesh in 32"? I hve found one called crazy river and it's only £8 but was wondering if there are any others, ideally rubberised ones.

Someone must do a mesh surely?

Try Leslies of Luton or Freespirit do some decent replacement meshes.

Tacklebox in Kent do as well.

Ben,
I went through this sometime ago and could not find anything suitable, Fox do a replacement net for their Barbel net but it is £20 odd quid. I ended up getting a 30 plus net which is great IMO, use it for almost all my speci stuff now.

Daves mesh is second to none for it's intended usue. He calls it "lureweave". there is a clue in the name! I seldom use it for barble fishing but I would have nothing else on my boat pike net. Downside is your weight will drop through the mesh and in my opinion it aint much good for resting fish in.

The only other firm I know who produced a 32 inch net were Fox , this was a larger mesh I seem to recall, they do keep spares of a lot of their gear, might be worth a call if Dave Lumb can't suggest a solution?.

Cheers chaps I'll have a look. I do have one of daves nets somewhere think the smallest I could find was his 36" so brought that for pike fishing. It is a tad bigger than I was after but could use it for barbel too. Plus on another google search I came across the bfw thread about the dinsmore net for about £10 that looks good.
