I’ve only ever bought cheap nets, I’ve a pair of 30 plus nets with a lovely deep mesh and a cheapish fox one that’s a few years old along with some other rubbish. I used my mates fox x3 net the other day and couldn’t believe how light and stiff it was, these are only about 80 quid. The Korda net must be something special at its price point

I think the extra money is justified. I had a friend who use budget nets and there crap as ive used them to net there fish. Buy cheap buy twice or even thrice so works out the same in the end.

I dont think the korda net is expensive. Its actually cheaper than the other top end ends and much better so not really expensive when you compare it to other high end nets.

Buy a Chris Brown Carbon net. Anything more expensive is overpriced. It's a net to land big fish. If you need a bigger net than 42" you are, A, a lucky man, or B ,rich enough to fish in France on waters that contain massive fish .
As an aside; does anyone know which net Kevin Ellis uses?

don't pay over 200, plenty of deals to be done....give hull angling a ring they'll do it for 200 posted...

the same can be said for anything in fishing,top end rods,reels etc etc....if you're the kind of guy that would buy 2 x 50 quid nets then you're not the type of person that would buy a too end net regardless of which brand it is....there's nothing wrong with your views, I wouldn't buy a top end reel as im happy with the reels I've got....thats my view on reels...nothing wrong with it....you pay your money,ya takes ya chance

No you're not,rather have a net that when I lift it to net a fish it lifts up and not flops around like an 80 year olds cock.I didn't pay 230 for mine i paid less and compared to the dymag that's a bargain,im very happy with it and so is my mate with his

I don’t have one but I have briefly used one to net a fish for someone and they are great plus lovely deep mesh you get what you pay for at the end of the day I have always bought cheaper nets and have had a couple handles go so buy cheap and have to replace regularly or buy expensive and have it last? No brainer to me

They are a minimum of £230 from what I have seen and when you can get a net for £50 that is very good. Does it really justify the £180 extra?

Definitely not.........

You are better off buying 2 x £50 nets and save yourself £130.

Still a lot of money for a net regardless of how well made it is.

I know the same thing can be said for a lot of things but I can't bring myself to pay that for a net either to be honest.

What a strange comment

If it's good enough for you to want one, maybe it isnt overpriced? You just don't want it enough. It isn't a reflection on an item's value for money though is it?

On a side note, in comparison to other top end nets, it isn't overpriced at all imo
