Prologic Black Quick Release Connector

I was using the Korum quick release connector on my landing net and landed some good fish and was really happy
but on my last outing I had just returned my rested fish when I slipped on the steep bank and fell over next thing I noticed was the quick release had snapped off
so I wonder if anyone has USED the stronger looking Prologic Black Quick Release Connector ??

I did use the medium size ones years ago on my shelter storm poles and have only just read they do a LARGE version my local tackle shop does not have them so it would be a mail order job
hence my post
thanks for any help
 
Hi Gerry
I have used the large ones on my storm poles for a few years now with no problems, i have never used them on my landing net so can't say if they would be strong enough.
 
They look good guys, but if you were about to slide your net under a very big barbel would you be confident it wouldn't part company?

I'm not knocking it but after having several landing net issues this season (now sorted) I'd be wary of anything "quick release"
 
As stated im my original post I have been using the Korum one all season
when I purchased it one of the first tests was to get my pal holding the handle and me holding the net then we tried to pull it apart it was NOT POSSIBLE !

however if of you you attempted to lift a fish up in the net it would probably break........... anyway I posted this in a few places to get as much feedback as possible and got some excellent reviews so I have splashed the cash and have the Large Prologic on order
thanks for replies folks
 
Sorry Gerry, story of my life, I didn’t read your thread thoroughly. Just picked up on the Prologic bit!!

My korum one broke after not much use.

Mine too,the cam part cracked which allowed the landing net to slide off into the river,I then realised why it was called a quick release adapter.:(
I returned it and bought the pro logic job which is a far better design and has performed well this season.
 
I used to use the korum one as well until my net came out without the quick release being released. Luckily I managed to grab the net and fish before it floated off. Wouldn’t trust any of them after that. I only used it for about 3 months
