Landing Nets

THE TACKLE BOX’S LEE JACKSON SAYS: Designed to be one of the easier nets to assemble and disassemble as well as being lightweight and easy to manoeuvre through the water. The 6ft handle has the diagonal CF-X carbon weave that matches the CF-X carp rods and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The olive green mesh has a flat-bottomed design that promotes fish safety. It’s fitted with solid composite arms that are virtually unbreakable and a British-made spreader block that has a slot for an isotope to be fitted as an optional extra.

In keeping with the Warrior S range of rods, this landing net is big on performance and low on price. The 6ft carbon handle is light and strong and the shallow mesh will suit carp of all sizes from various venues. There’s also a 46in version available. For more information go to www.

Fishing short overnight sessions often leads me with the predicament of where to keep my wet net while trying to maintain a relatively clean car. Well since I have been using the DPM landing-net bag life has become a lot easier and a lot less smelly. I used to keep my net in my rod bag or leave it strewn across the tackle in the back. With a designated bag it can now be kept to one side and nothing else will get wet.

This is a triangular net with strong, soft, fish-friendly olive-green mesh. Available in 36in and 42in versions, these are ideal for either the specimen hunters or pleasure carp anglers. A reinforced spreader block makes it a reliable piece of kit, with a handy two-piece handle that breaks down to become the exact same size as the net, making it a doddle to store and transport and makes it a great candidate when you’re stalking or travelling light. Supplied with a nylon stink sleeve, there’s no need to ever have your car stinking of fish again or worry about your net dripping all over your luggage or back seats after a carp-filled session.

Based on the top-of-the-range CC30 landing net but at a more affordable price point.
