Traditional net
Greetings all I've recently off loaded all my modern equipment and brought myself some lovely split cane rods hand made floats and rod rests. Now I'd really like a landing net to compliment it all. My budget is £200-300 I do like the Norman agguters walker replica but it's 36" and i was wondering if anyone made a 42" cane net that was within my budget?. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Re: Traditional net
Dave Austin makes split cane nets, not sure how you'd get in touch with him though, somebody on here might be able to help. I got one off ebay for £125 I think...

Re: Traditional net
there's a couple on ebay at the moment and not attracting too much attention.

Re: Traditional net
Out of curiosity, did you manage to find a good net to fulfil requirements? I am looking at some options of a new net for myself, and just doing some research currently. Thanks.

Re: Traditional net
I recently brought a beautiful splitcane net from Mr Dave Austin but it was with 30"arms.Regular_Caster wrote:Out of curiosity, did you manage to find a good net to fulfil requirements? I am looking at some options of a new net for myself, and just doing some research currently. Thanks.
The trouble is with a 42"cane net and 7ft handle which was what I wanted is the weight of it I'm still in 2 minds whether to just use my modern light weight 42"net with 8ft pole for the larger specimens
