What Landing Net??

#1 Post by nifisher »

I have recently bought a light lure rod and was thinking of getting a landing net just in case I am lucky enough to get a nice Pollock. Teacher recommended the Daiwa Rubba Net as it is kinder to the fish which I like the sound of.

What size of net would you recommend?
What make of net?
What sort of handle would you recommend telescopic or fixed and what lenght would be best for rock fishing?

All advise greatly appreciated as I have no idea about landing nets :?

Cheers

Jonny

fixed will be stonger but if u need that wee bit extra reach the telescopic ones are good, i use a diawa i got yrs ago for trout fishing, its a really good job!
