Landing net

[TF_fish_silver]

Looking to get a new landing net and was thinking of
getting a Garbolino CARPSCOOP NET.
Has anyone got 1 and any feedback on them, or any other net recomendations ?

cheers

ive got a preston at the moment
quite like it
and it hasnt fell to bits (yet)
i allways look for something quite shallow with big holes
story of my life really

Try the Milo hydro repellant match. It is a really good net. Has some foam on the arms which stops it sinking if you put the net in the water a little early!

cheers for the reply matey.
Seen the preston ones and they looked/felt solid but quite heavey.
I was thinking of getting the Garbolino because they felt alot lighter but not so solid.

I always try get ones with metal spreader blocks. At the moment i have :- Preston rubber hair net, Boss rubber net, Daiwa scoop and a Waterline one. All good for different things.

I like the Preston Latex net. Smallest one is plenty big enough unless it’s a double a chuck- smaller nets are easier to handle fish in I find! The mesh lasts well, and it’s got a good metal spreader that lasts well too.

The fish are not that small that you to look for them are they Gavin?

I like that!

I have a Preston one as well and cannot fault it, the blue metallic one with the mesh that goes into the metal rather than around it. Stops the hook length getting damaged imo.

Daiwa Tournament Rubba Net – best I’ve ever used

Lol! no, what I mean is that handling a lively 4lb carp is easier in an 18in net than a 22 or 24in net. Tends to cradle them facing one way instead of having them leaping around!
