landing nets

[Bearclaw]

Can anyone tell me who is the manufacturer of those silcone knotless landing nets. Buggered if I can find anything about them on the net also are they any good and where can you buy them from on the northside.

There are a few different brands, depends how big the fish you're catching are. If they're around 5kg or under you might want to go for a Fastnet (www.flybridge.com.au (http://www.flybridge.com.au) ). If they're bigger than that you may want to go something from Gaff Mann (www.gaffmann.com.au (http://www.gaffman.com.au) ). Either of those guys should be able to tell you where your nearest retailer is.

Then of course there's the Environet, those are available just about anywhere you buy Shimano gear.

Good luck!

those silicone soft knotless landing nets.

they are made by BERKLEY black mesh with red handle right?

can get em at BCF for like $69

Oh yes, actually I heard they did those. Do you know if they're any good? I know the Gaff Mann ones are very tough, but it all depends what you're targeting I guess. It's just great more people are going for knotless nets, that can only be a good thing.

Nic ive sussed them out at wrk when we got them in. They feel so soft:D
The berkely nets have the advantage over the Environnets because the Berkley ones being a bigger size mesh than the Environnets more shade like material. Which would be easier to scoop through the water than the environets.

I own a environnet which i love its great no tangales from those stupid ell tailed catfish:P and protects the scales and slime on alll the fish i land.
