Trakker T8 and Korda kaizen green both very easy, also my ancient jrc specialist 36 inch.

Korda springbow is probably the easiest net ive ever owned to break down.

I had an X-Lite Roamer years ago, decent and cheap too. Problem was it was marketed as ultra-slim/lightweight but it weighed a ton (compared to more modern nets anyway). Possibly why they stopped making it?

Agreed; Korda & Matrix are handy for both setup and breakdown.

Buy a good net. not a Nash Scope, decent quality, assembling the net, rhubarb!
I have JRC X Lite, cracking net for the money, like a tag that folds between the arm and locks them in place, when you net a fish, unlock the tab and just roll the net up. Edit - As below lol
I had a Quantum on of similar design for may years, that was good net too.

The best landing net I have ever had and use to this day, is the JRC X-Lite Roamer. The net was fixed to the handle with about a 8" section of handle by a spigot so you could remove the net from the handle in an instant.
And to collapse the net, you just pulled the arms slightly apart and a locking wedge dropped out that was hinged. It took about 2 or 3 seconds to both collapse the net and remove the handle when you wanted to lift the fish out the water for weighing etc.
I have never found a net with such a good system, sadly they are discontinued and I don't know why they have not kept it going to this day. But they do crop up on Ebay stil in the 45" or 50" versions

It does work but in my experience it's not great in winter. I suppose if wearing a waterproof coat it's o.k but otherwise you'll be putting a wet/pole with wet net on it on your fleece (or skin if you pull your fleece up).

I was having a bit of trouble but someone reminded of something I had done before but somehow I'd forgotten all about it.
Assuming it's a normal 2 pole net with a Y shaped spreader block.
Place you elbow/forearm area on one of the poles, using the hand of the same arm and using your elbow/forearm as a fulcrum, push the other pole away with your hand. Then use your hand of your other to slide the other pole out.
If you are using a net with one of those twistable blocks within the Y, do the same but instead of pulling the pole out twist the block.

I use a matrix spreader block and arms and it's very easy to pull the arms out with a fish in

The Korda nets get good reviews re ease of taking apart, as does the Matrix 3K I use 👍
