Landing nets

I’d been using a Korum 30 inch folding triangle net for the last couple of years but the spreader block snapped when landing a fish recently. It made returning the barbel quite a challenge, and it’s put off buying another Korum net. I’ve heard the TB Darent Valley nets are decent in a few places so that will be my next purchase, just hope I don’t fall foul of the new net curse and fail to catch another barbel 😂
 
I use a drennan 36" specialist, I've changed the mesh to a dinsmore rubber mesh

I’ve got the korum triangle folding but the arms bend/bent very easily 🙄
So I replaced the arms with heavier gauge aluminium form a redundant net👍
Much better more robust 🎣
incidentally I’ve just got another net a Shakespeare skp latex net it doesn’t fold but it’s tough and light 🎣
