Drennan ex-strong carp. Now renamed as a series 7. Absolutely faultless in every way,

Drennan ex-strong carp ~clap

yes!

what they said

Drennan Series 7 Ex-Strong
the new version of the original Ex-Strong which in fairness was quite expensive

the new one is fractionally shorter at 3.3m but it’s cheaper at around £40

Another vote for the Drennan Ex strong. I got one of the new style ones for my old man at christmas and imho the new one looks slightly better it has two screw threads on the first and second sections so you can use it as normal all three sections or just the two and three section which I think you could lift cars up with~clap

Another vote for Drennan, here.

Personally, I like the three piece take apart handles because I prefer a short landing net handle and hence very rarely use the third section.

Either the original Drennan, or the new series 7 extra strong – bomb proof!

Tricast XRS 8’3″ take apart. Slim, light, strong and amazingly cheap at around £25 + post from Weston Tackle.

Don’t have any experience with the drennan although the general consencus is very very good.
I have use two netsy handles and one of the snapped on a big bream and on the replacement the connector wasn’t glued properly.
So I am on the look out for something new because although the netsy is perfect now I have lost confindce.
Noticed the Tricast and although a bit short at 12ft 6 (prefer 4-5 mtr) will be my next purchase when I am in England in april.

Yep – the Drennan without doubt.

Shimano catana 4m is the only one I’ve ever bought and it’s been brilliant

Tri-Cast do a couple of versions, strong and well constucted.

Another vote here for the Tri-Cast for strength.

Shorter than my last one though which exploded,it was a maver though,lol.

Purchased one last week,for my upcoming week at StaffordMoor,feels nice & strong,just the job i think.?
Didn’t fancy using my Netsy,but i’m sure it would have coped,would have been expensive if i break it though,so it can come as a spare.

another vote for drennen.

I know very lettle about landing net handles simply because I haven’t bought one for about 6 years.

The last one I bought was a Maver Jurassic 2.6M one and it’s still going strong. It’s slim lightweight and never looked like breaking. I do carry a longer garbolino one but I couldn’t tell you which one cos I never use it except for on high banks.

Another vote for TriCast here.

What have you done to the old one Matt, break it on some ice ,or was it a car door?

Matt, every where is local with the internet. But landing net handles have not advanced much, if at all in 5 years.

the new maver one looks really good~clap ~clap

Matt, you would not know mine was a Drennan because I do not use the third section, which is the one with the graphics on it!

Daiwa Airity landing net handle for me, but at a cost of £80-90 squid its more than some people would pay for a margin pole ~think

Chum I hope the Airity net handles are much improved from their Tournament predecessor what a pile of dog shit they were !

Anthony the Airity landing net handles are in different planets by comparison although I have never had the tourney one, its mega strong I have netted and lifted high doubles and its superb.

mjk380 – yes its a lot of money but then again when its the wife that’s buying it you just smile and say thank you
