do you rest your landing net head on your keepnet?

[TF_dirkdiggler]

i have three daiwa tournament rubba keepnets.
i’ve had them for around three months
and one of them has now broken,
i gave daiwa a call and they told me to take it back to climax tackle to get it sorted.
my friend took the net back for me today and was told that you should’nt be resting your landing net head on your keepnet as it will break the connector straight away!
the offending net is a 16in drennan match net for f1s so hardly heavy methinks.
are you aware of the danger your putting your keepnet under?
or is it just another case of a tackle manufacturor using us as test pilots again?

Do they have a dip in the frame for resting your rod? If so, they are talking bo**ox.

I have placed my landing nets on my keepnet tops for more years than I care to remember and never had a problem. The man is talking utter rubbish.

mmm not only rubbish but offensive too. according to my friend who was going to buy a barbel rod there today and went somewhere else instead ~naughty

A few years ago when river matches were still reasonably popular,using your keepnet as a rod rest was commonplace.Tell them you’ll quote them in oneof the weekly angling publications,and see what there answer is ? sounds like bad customer service to me.Best of luck.

I use Mosella nets and not only do I rest my landing net on them I also use then as a rod rest with no problems after 4 years.

I think its been said numerous times, if something has failed/broken then it is not the manufacturer you go back to, its who you bought it from you take it back to.

I would argue that the product has broken under normal use within a reasonable amount of time and you are entitled under consumer law to a replacement or refund from the shop. It is then the shops job to return that product back to the manufacturer.
I have in the past writen/emailed a manufacturer when I have found fault with a product to voice my concerns and to offer my opinions as to why it failed if it was a design fault and how the product could be improved. Constructive critisism is usually received well rather than just telling them the product is crap, as some seem to like to do.
