Yet Another Big Up to Gudgeon Jim...
Collected my second net from Jim prior to the Welsh Wildie Adventure and must say I'm totally over the moon with it. It was a joy to use, performed impeccably and over the weekend cradled many special fish.
Thanks Jim

Some fine looking tackle there.
What would the collective name for landing nets be? A mesh of nets, maybe?

Lovely nets and I spy a little penn reel too.
How about a standing of nets?

Really nice landing nets
There is no peace on earth like the peace of fishing in the early mornings

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.MaggotDrowner wrote:Very nice, Stu.

Re: Yet Another Big Up to Gudgeon Jim...
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.Snape wrote: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.MaggotDrowner wrote:Very nice, Stu.
