Yet Another Big Up to Gudgeon Jim...

[Snape]

Very nice, Stu. What length are then handles? I was fishing with mine today (an old bit of metal pipe, and not nearly as pretty as yours) and found it a struggle for the first time as it is a little short. Perhaps because my cane rods are longer than the carbon I used to use.

With a cane rod of 10 foot or longer you want at least a 6 foot landing net handle to minimise the risk of stressing the rod tip when landing.

Well the Black Seal is 11ft and I think the net is about 5ft. I'll have to invest in a new handle for my smaller net I think. Many thanks, Snape.

I expect if you ask Gudgeon Jim nicely he might even make you a nice one...

I'd love one made by Gudgeon Gim but I might have to save up a few more pennies for that. My motorcycle is still poorly and that should be my priority.
