3m landing net handle

[Michael Weir]

I broke mine last October. Looking for a replacement. Any recommendations?

 

[Mike Hodgkiss]

NGT do one , its a bit heavy but I guarantee you won't break it

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Drennan specialist twist lock 3m
I personally wouldn’t look at another handle.

 

[Stephen Crowhurst]

Gardner one for me, heavier than the Drennan but built like a tank.

Another vote for the Drennan Specialist twistlock

 

[Adam Francis]

Drennan all day.

Drennan but look after it ! Don’t overtighten it and keep it clean inside the two sections and you’ll get plenty of use from it.

 

[Richard Parsons]

Good advice, that, Bill. I've just very lightly oiled mine, to keep the locking mechanism functional. I rub it down with a cloth after every session (still talking about the net handle here!) but it was losing a bit of the twistlock functionality. It's good as new again.
I had a Gardner previously but found it too heavy. Since given to a friend, to make his barbel feel larger.

tackle box handle exactly the same as the drennan but cheaper and with a cloth bag

I must admit I don't look after mine as I should with a wipe of a cloth if it starts slipping as good as it gets, it still performs admirably. I now have 2 as I thought I had lost 1 and subsequently bought another which is now on loan to a mate who had his gear nicked. When my old one did start playing up after god knows how many years and proper cleans I wrote to Drennan who subsequently sent 2 new bushes FOC within days. I'm in my 50's and I reckon unless I do lose it the 2 bushes it will likely last longer than me. I am not a huge Drennan fan but this is a great bit of kit.

Best I have ever had is the now discontinued lone angler one but the Gardner is also very good

 

[Michael Weir]

Thanks guys. I'm now sorted, my brother gave me one he doesn't use.

you take better care of your landing net handle than you do of yourself...

Another vote for the tackle box one, though it also requires the occasional clean.
