Never Fished a Match

[Dicky (Angling Trust PAC)]

Hi guys,

I'm fishing the FM charity match at Clattercote and i have to admit I have never fished a match before or used a keepnet.

A mate is lending me a keepnet suitable for silvers but what would be the best budget, fish-safe carp keep net for me to get?

I've been looking through the WMAC cataogue and they have some very cheap ones. Are they any good?

Also minimum dimensions would be useful?

i've had mine for about 2 years now and they've been great,nice strong tilt / angle mechanism good rigid frames,the bottom is a pull through with internal handles/straps.i've seen other nets that are identical with other copmanys names on costing more !.these are the only match set nets i've owned and i only use then 4-5 times a year,but i've not had any problem
