New net

[Rammer223]

Looking for another landing net roving folding job , now I already have fox rage street net but after longer handle , so I could get another the 3.7 mtr model should do job , but there’s couple things putting me off , one been unless I get the fox rage net perfectly vertical it can be difficult to open with one hand the second thing is db fishing video we’re his failed shattering , been looking online at 4 mtr Gunki steet but having never seen one in the flesh or even used any Gunki stuff not sure how they compare quality wise , any one any experience with
Thanks in advance lee
Should add had a Diawa one but it was 5.9mtr far too long for my requirements so moved it on , it seemed good quality though

The daiwa may be long, but it's by far and away the best long handle on the market, nothing comes close imo.
It's extra length may open up new swims for you?

Went for Rapala in the end really nice quality, was worried about head size but plenty depth to the net , probably no good for monsters but as general perch/ average pike should be fine

I have a Daiwa 5.9, perhaps the same, which is super helpful when fishing from a high bank and is very light.
The Gunki is a copy of it. I've bought it as a present for a friend, they're just the same.

But sometimes it's a bit difficult to handle the length as it tends to unfold entirely.

Could you tell me which model from Rapala you have chosen?

I can't remember the measurement, but it's the UK standard size thread. I use several different net heads in mine from korum and fox.

Yes it is the ISO
I purchased a French version which is the Japanese handle with the European thread.
It was coming as a set, with a PAFEX Flynet Anti-A – C50R head. It's a mesh net which dries quickly. (the one in the photo below)

When matching the single handle to net options on that site, it gives many options of various brands.

Paid the set +- €60, 5 years ago in Germany.

Thank you for sharing the Rapala model name.

It looks like a very good option and is more compact when folded. A good one for predator fishing in those oxford's towpaths which are rarely high banks.

Thanks for the info!
