Re: a table spoon.
Got a new handle given to me by an utter gent, Richard Parkes. After my standard mod it's ready for service!! Brutal, but effective. (and yes, it is whipped in with 8lb line!).

Re: a table spoon.
I am now in use of mine, and I can vouch that a tea spoon does just as good a job...... ![:wink:](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f609.svg)

Re: a table spoon.
Is the tea spoon just to keep the net tidy or am I missing something? :think:

Re: a table spoon.
From what I can gather it is to keep the net together and when you enter the net into the water to capture ones prize the net comes from the spoon and so you don't get the net snagged on anything before hand

Re: a table spoon.
The idea is it disengages when the weight of the fish hits the net. I used a table spoon as it's bigger... And therefore better!.
