Lets talk Portable/travel Landing nets

[purple5ive]

Guys,
Im in the market for a collapsible/telescopic/travel, call it what you want landing net..
This will mostly be used for bream, and smaller stuff like pinkies etc landbased.
Has anyone got any idea where to start looking or actually have one they can share some details of
Im looking for COMPACT size, so something in the 30cm range compacted..
I like to travel light.
Ps- this is not a necessity as such, but more so a backup just in case..

i have looked at the anaconda ones so far. they look promising but a lil bit too big, mayeb theres somethign smaller you guys have seen??

cheers

I failed on this mission myself. Got a folding one off ebay but it's a PITA. You need a long handle ?

I have a snowbee one had it for 20 years changed the net a few times

Jon has a browning net. Pretty sweet too. I like the egi gaffs like tsuribaka sell. If you look on plat there's nets that attach too.

I also have one I bought in the uk its a carbon fibre handle ultra light weight but its 4ft long then extends out to 8ft the net collapses its a carp fishing one. I only use it now when prawning

Is it something you want to be able to carry around with you. i.e attached to your backpack/ in your bag when lure fishing or something you can leave on the pier and use it when needed. The longer nets are usually still pretty long when compacted. I generally don't carry a net with any fishing but the berkley kayak net is great although probably way too small for what you want it for.

[purple5ive]

yes this is for taking with me when im fishing, so needs to eb small, berkley kayak net is too big looked at it already.
would prefer to fold down as compact as possible for travel only, when im fishing i can always open and have it ready.
Thanks fellas.

I got one from one of the cheap chinese sites. It feels pretty rickety, but it does fold down to like 30cm, and extends out to about 1 - 1.2mtrs I think.

I got it for exactly the same reasons you are after one.

On the plus side it was very cheap. I will try and take a photo of it when I get a chance

thanks
that would be awsome
cheers
