just a shorter length one not telescopic, although even if it is telescopic it can be used shortened anyway.
Whats wrong with normal net mate?

nah just extremely anal about what i want on my boat.. i absolutely hate fishing with clutter around me
when you have deckies that have nfi it makes things even worse
when you have responses like i didnt think it was going to be that heavy, or i thought theres only small fish here, or im not fishing because it will get snagged, ive lost count of how many times ive been shocked by these guys.. you know what they say, you cannot choose family!!!!

It was implied when you asked if they had a shorter version of a telescopic net. I get what you are after now
yeah fair call could be misleading..
i have a good net, but its a trout one and not enough reach. its nice and light good opening and mesh depth, just short on reach.
the trebles get stuck in the mesh, and if squidding the slime sticks to the mesh unlike the bigger silicone mesh ones but it isnt as bad, just wanting something similar thats not heavy and has a bit more reach.
as soon as you go longer and have a silicone mesh its getting too heavy for me, ill do whatever it takes to make my fishing more comfortable so im still looking.

trust me no amount of training will see these guys through a decent fish..
these are guys who still cannot back a trailer, tie knots, unhook fish without making a scene, destroy jockey wheels, wind winch straps through winch and leave the boat unhitched without a chain, things like that...
i have to do everything for them

Dont worry mate, just get back down to Portland for some surface casting at Tuna, they'll put some meat on your bones.
