Title: travel landing net (big!)
Post by: corsican dave on June 28, 2016, 11:41:25 AM
Thinking ahe...

I'm looking for a specimen landing net (carp size) that will collapse down into component parts no longer than a 10' 4-piece fly rod.  This is so it will fit in my single piece of luggage, along with the rest of my gear. So the arms need to be collapsible and the handle telescopic; each component no longer than around 75cm
The handle doesn't have to extend too far. Even 1.5m would do just fine

Any recommendations?

I haven't got any carp fishing outlets up here (other than Go Outdoors), so it's difficult to compare them!

yes, hopelessly optimistic, I know..... :roll:  :8)

Is it for Carp or Pike Dave?

carp was the general plan, Burnie

I've got one of these for my "every day" use. absolutely superb net, but it's a bugger to pack!

The way the Spanish seem to be looking at their carp they would be happy if CD gaffed as many as he could and left them on the bank to cure in the sunshine.
