Westin W3 CR Foldable Landing Net

[Gavin Burt]

Anyone using one of these and have any opinions please?

I’m looking for a more portable net that I can use for roving and throw it on my back rather than carrying all the time.

I've got the small one for my lure fishing. It's ok, just a regular metal folding net. Handle is a bit hard to extend sometimes if I try to do it one handed whilst playing a fish but other than that it's holding up ok.

I use the medium (they don’t do a large) Westin W6 with the 4m telescopic handle and carry strap when roving for chub on the float. It folds down very short and the net collapses over the handle when slung on your back. The net and handle are very good quality but the net is a bit on the small side for barbel. It will take any chub that swims but not good for resting barbel once you get them in. Having said that I have had two barbel in it, an 8lber and my PB of 16lb 12 oz and two pike between 14 and 15 and they all went back safely. It is not something I would recommend however if you are targeting fish of this size.
