I had a problem landing big fish from swims with high banks, so I thought I'd try a longer (4m) net handle. Holding a shorter one out in the flow by the end of the handle gave me some barbel-fishing equivalent of tennis elbow that's taking months to heal. Anyway, I read up on them, deliberated, mail-ordered one and decided within minutes of getting it I should have plumped for a different one. Luckily the shop said they'd swap it, no problem, so I'll spend the day driving there and back. I couldn't bear to faff around with further postage etc.
Anybody done anything similar, and taken an instant dislike to what they just bought?
