Quick release landing net adaptors...

tigger · Mar 16, 2016

I'm looking at two of the quick release adaptors on ebay but have never seen either of them in the flesh. These are the two i'm looking at....

MAVER match this hex lock quick release adaptor keepnet/ landing net!!!! | eBay

Korum Quick Release Net Adaptor Coarse, Match (KQCR2) *FREE P&P* | eBay

Has anyone got either of them and has anyone got any reccomendations for them or any others?

The above are the ones I've been using for years,
Would think the korum ones would be good too like the rest of their tackle.

Big fan of korum gear.

Thank's Seth, I was only after one for my landing net so i've just bought a Korum version. Those prologic do look the best value if you want several of them.

I've use the Prologic ones on a landing net and found that they tend to distort after a while (go oval.)

I've never used any Rob, just thought it might make life a little easier when weighing a fish in the net. I'm fed up of bending over holding the net head in the water and unscrewing it...ok it only takes a few seconds but it always feels like forever

In my opinion the prologic are the best by far I've bought the cheap copies from ebay and they wear easy.
They are held together by ball bearings that fit into holes, the holes are in the part that stays on the net head.
On the ebay copies the holes wear big causing the net to wobble and eventually fail.
Prologic quick release connectors are the original product and the ones I use do not show any noticeable wear.
The old prologics were silver the new design is black, well worth the cost.
I use them on keepnets, landing nets, pole roosts in fact anything that needs unscrewing.

I have the Pro logic old Mk1, silver. Never let me down, no wear, best on the market IMO. Cheap wear out, and others are well over priced.

In fairness, it took a serious amount of stick before it failed; plus it was the lighter-duty of the two available options. The two parts need to fit together perfectly if wobble is to be avoided because they'll be taking a lot more hammer than they were designed for - the one I was using had previously seen service with my Fox alarms so was probably a bit under-gunned for the task. The chunkier, the better, IMHO.

Tigger, take a look at the price of the Maver one you put up on your thread.!!!

No amend that to the KORUM one £96.97!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think prologic do them in threee versions Rob, small, medium and large when I looked at 'em.
As I said, I was only after one for the landing net head and so plumped for the Korum, if it's no good i'll get a prologic in future. I did like the idea of the cam lock on the Korum.

I like the look of those, Ian. Think I'll give it a try myself.

Jeeez, i've just checked and when I bought mine from that seller this morning it was £6.97....thank the lord I hadn't paid the £96.97 !!!!!!!!!!!

I reckon they must have sold out and done that pricing thing that Binka pointed out recently on another thread....were they just put up a mad price to stop people buying until they get some more in stock so they don't have to pay a re-listing fee.
