Good landing net and block for roving

Conrad Farlow

Senior Member
I normally use large spoon nets for my barbel fishing but they are unwieldy for roving. I want something that I can fit in a side pocket on my quiver. Any recommendations? Going a roving tomorrow so will be getting one this afternoon. I have Bennett's of Sheffield, Billy Clarke's and Climax within reach in my lunch hour.

PS I am skint so it must be cheap(ish).
 
What Bob said , my ABU-G 36" still strong after three seasons
 
My mate Johnny is going to pick me one up this afternoon. He suggested the same one, so if 3 such fine fellows recommend the same net then I would be silly not to buy one.

Thanks lads.

Conrad, i use two of the 42" abu's for carping and piking and they have never let me down, good nets at a sensible price.
 
Strange - I got one of those ABU's after it was praised on the old incarnation of BFW, one of the arms snapped after one season's use. :(
I now have one of the Middy Barbel nets, still going strong after 3 years of abuse! :cool:

The early version had weak arms, fixed within six months of release (many summers ago). ABU replaced any failed nets at Outlet - not failed since.
 
Have you tried his bank sticks Pip?

I have a friend who uses CB products and from what i have seen of them you will be very hard pushed to buy better.

His landing net is the b******cks.
