I now use the kaizen green 2 pc handle
Itβs dead easy to get the arms/net on/off.
Light, reasonably priced and does the job.

I looked ar the Fencl net probably around 2 yeats ago but wanted to use my own arms & mesh. Contacted them but they said they had no plans to sell the spreader block separately so that was the end of that and I bought the Matrix.

Theres a Hutchy SpringLock landing net in VGC on ebay atm . . .I'm sorely tempted to buy it for sentimental reasons however they remain one of the best quick collapse nets I've ever owned. Mine gave up the ghost a decade ago after multiple patch up jobs . . .def one to consider

+1 for the Johnson Ross Matrix. I didn't find the Top Notch Tackle one that easy in use and sold it to get the Matrix.
I do like the look of the new Fox net.

Have a look at the fencl landing net easy to collapse and release the arms,
On the expensive side though

The Kaizen Green is very easy to handle.

Have a look at the top notch tackle quick release spreader block..just make sure the arm diameter on your current net is compatible.

Currently got a Solar Bow-Loc net and it's fine to put together but when breaking down especially with a fish in and time is of the essence, I find it a bit harder to release the tension since I've injured by arm earlier this year. I know they are meant to be easier but over time it's a bit temperamental. I'm loathed to spend more money as the Solar cost a fair bit but needs must due to my arm and if I can find something better then great. I've read good things on here about the Korda Spring Bow, Kaizen Green and ESP Onyx. How are they for those with a weaker arm? I can lift weight on it no problem but it's certain angles/movements with grip that cause issues.
The Fox Lever Lok looks ok too but not found any proper user reviews of it yet in terms of build quality etc.
Cheers.
