Recently I was in the process of building a new net from ‘bits’ of old ones that I have…..
By coincidence I saw an advert for a sale at I think Fishing republic. I bought a 36” net, as in mesh arms and spreader block for £8.50. !! The brand is westlake pro.
the plan was to use the net mesh and bin the rest….However it is a perfectly decent net and with an extending Gardner handle is now my first choice barbel net. It was also available in 42”.
Only issue was a loose metal sleeve on the end of one arm; fixed with a smear of epoxy.
Amazing value.

Die-cast Aluminium spreader block

I just checked and your right they got some of the 42" in stock now its a top quality worth the little bit extra IMHO

As mentioned before by Oldgeezer, the Fox Eos 42 inch is a great net. It has an aluminium spreader block. My son has the 46 inch one. Angling Direct Re selling the 42 inch one for £44 at the moment down from £55.

Looks like Saber is the favourite

Another one for the saber nets. Ive been using one for the best part of two years without any issues.

Thanks for the feedback, think I'll look for something other than the NGT
JRC Stealth looks a popular choice, gutted though as had seen one for sale locally(ish) for £25 but didn't follow it up and now gone. Saber is also a contender, presumably the carbon handle versions are a worthwhile upgrade.

I supply NGT landing nets at my lake, although mine have a metal spreader block and telescopic handle. In over five years I've had one breakage.
The ones I purchased have been excellent value for money.

I've got a cheap saber 42" landing net with a 2 piece handle. It was about £30. I'm using it since 2018 and it's still rocking. And I've landed fish up to 60pound mark with it.

I bought a cheap 2-piece handle Cygnet net. I prefer it to my “good one” that cost more than twice a much!

My suggestion would be the 50 quid mark checkout the good quality and reliable FOX - EOS LANDING NETs
this 46" is a bargain IMHO remember you can net a little fish in a big net but you will struggle with a big fish in a little net ...........AND buy cheap buy twice !!

I’ve got a Saber 2 piece carbon one which cost me £45 delivered and I’m pretty happy with it so far. Easy to setup/take apart, nice and light plus the spreader block seems pretty good quality.
Only time will tell but 10 months in and definitely can’t complain considering the cost
