It is indeed a thing of beauty but with a starting bid of £425 and £25 postage it is almost too good to get wet.

[Wilts Traditionalist]

That has to be worth a bid or two, anyone got any idea what the cost is if new?

Also, what sort of waiting list there might be for a new one?

[Nobby]

My understand is that they were £500 plus when new and that Edward has said he won't be making anymore. I'd think that will only increase the value still more.....

[Snape]

I bought mine new in 1997 for £270 but Edward is not making any more.
He just made another batch of Chris Yates nets (carp sized) but only five.
Cost? Just a paltry £1200.
I think they are all sold....

Just found a catalogue and price list from 1996,Bernard Venables net £200,Special carp net £250, One piece handle £70,Two piece handle £100
