At our local boot fair this morning I picked up a couple of landing nets for just £4 for the pair. One is 32" the other 42" The smaller is Efgeeco and the larger has a Polynet label on the net itself but not sure if that is the make of frame. The larger one is unusual as it has a metal bar that slips in between the frame to strengthen it.

Re: Boot fair nets
Cracking pair of nets. Absolute bargains!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: Boot fair nets
I had one similar to the larger net. The arms were "flat" and therefore didn't bend under any weight unlike other nets of that time. The cross piece also helped in lifting the net.
I still have the Effgeco 32" version- somewhere!
