Graham, excellent marketing strategy. I can't help noticing the positioning of the video on YouTube, next to the latex dress and just along from Tina Angel Megaboobs! It's a tough decision, new net or latex dress?
I know the review says the holes in the spreader are big enough to allow easy insertion & removal of the arms, but I've just had one of these nets delivered and having got the thing assembled without difficulty, I now can't get it apart!
Is there a knack to doing this? I'm a bit reluctant to apply too much pressure in case I break it before using it for the first time tomorrow...
It's just confidence in bending the arm to ease the pressure on the ferrule, I had it demonstrated ina tackleshop but couldn't get the hang of it myself so went forfibreglass armed version.
Just bend it, and it should be fine, you had to bend it to get it in place so you can bend it going back out. You will get used to it shortly and and the more you use it the easier it will become. (The way i do those it to put one corner on the floor and bend it down at the block, then pull out the other one, increase bending pressure until you can pull it out.)
If it breaks go back to the shop and tell them the cord at the top is too short
(PS I didn't tell you this - it bypasses most controls hence the manufacturers just do a straight swap no quibbles as it could be the manufactures fault.)
This is the exact landing net that i use but in 36'' variety for Bream and Tench.
Absolutely no complaints with it at all, you dont need to apply very much pressure on the arms to get them to slot in/out of the spreader.
PS: obviously Graham was unable to bump that rat fish off and had to go thru the whole unhooking procedure... thosethings dont leave you alone when they find your ground bait and chopped lobs.
..Err, I did manage to get it apart, but it's back together again now and probably staying that way. I quite like the look of it hanging on the garage wall and it fitseasily into the back of my Punto (with the back seats down), which is all I'm really bothered about.
It can be a bit awkward to carryifmuch of a walk is involved, but you can always drape it over your head and shoulders, and ithelps keep theflies off. /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
