Hi all, just about done my head in this morning..... I have made an oval laminated cane landing net head, it is 30ins x 22 ins, and I have been seeking a nice fish friendly knotlessnet that has a bit of a "traditional" look about it, to complete it .
I have scoured the internet, but cant find anything remotely resembling what I need . I have seen the Snowbee ones, but they are not what I want.
Firstly, it seems that the world of angling suppliers these days either have Carpers as their forefront target audience, and sell nets that would accomodate a medium sized to large double decker bus, or, alternativeley sell smaller pan nets for match anglers.
Where do we fit in ?
It is not a big ask, I think maybe I will end up buying a complete landing net and strip the frame away to use the netting if I can find something suitable .
I must have a half dozen triangular nets of various sizes and have fitted a net from a triangular frame of 26 inch sides that just fits, so really one for a triangular net with about 28 , or max 30 inch sides would be about right.
One other thing whilst I am having a moan. Why dont the people who sell replacement nets give a circumference measurement and depth instead of blindly thinking that everybody uses triangular nets.? I have contacted 3 seperate retailers today, and had replies ranging from "I dont know" to "Why do you want to know that , wont a carp net do "
No it wont b ******y do.
Anyway, rant over, so, anybody have any idea where I could source one ?
