Re: Replacement net.
I am looking for a knotless net,for a folding triangular frame 16".
Could you let me know where you got it from please?
Last night passing a skip i noticed a landing net with bamboo pole sticking out, calling out to me to rescue it from the impending doom of death and the land fill.
The pole is split but will glue back,it had something inside it rattling about,on closer examination the brass butt cap unscrewed to reveal a built cane top section of a small stream fly rod.
I have never seen a rod kept in a landing net pole before,if the butt section had have been there i would have ran all the way home laughing,though i wondered if this was just a means to carry a spare top section and the butt was never kept inside the pole,the pole looks wide enough to take one though,I wonder if any one can answer this here?
There is a saying, that a man cannot walk past a hole being dug in the road by workmen, without having a look into it,I think this saying also goes for skips....

Re: Replacement net.
Hi Robbi.
Some of the best quality nets can be purchased from Sharp's of Aberdeen or on Ebay called Wilco replacement nets these are also of the same high quality. They then can be dyed using Havana Brown Dylon clothing powered dye turning the net a lovely chestnut brown. You will find the process very satifactory.

I think it is a traditional way to transport a spare top, Kevin - I got a nice bamboo net-handle from the german bay with an old rod tip inside, there is a screwcap on one end and the tip is exactly the length of the handle (58" - 147,5 cm), but there is just enough space for the tip in my handle (diameter 3/4"-7/8"), the tip has also interesting rings, I've never seen - I suppose it's a flyrod tip, but I'm not sure

Re: Replacement net.
The best nets in my opinion can be obtained from http://redportnet.co.uk/
All the nets are made to order and can be obtained in green or white (undyed) in many sizes, they are are not the cheapest but definately the best.
I think you will find many of the current traditional landing net makers obtain there mesh from them.
