I have a Greys one but it is small and shallow and now that I am catching proper fish and not tiddlers, I seldom use it:wh
It does dry quickly and doesn't seem to smell as bad as my bigger conventional net. Greys make much larger ones of course.
My first net was a purchase of Amazon and it is enormous and has a telescopic handle. It also weighs as much as a small motorcycle On my first or second trip to a commercial I used it for the first time when i caught a common about 3 lb. It got lost in the net and the guy on the next peg said " save that for when you are after whales son" I am 62

I use the latex (rubberised nets when piking. (The large Korum versions).
They do dry quicker than normal nets, but for me the benefit is in avoidance of treble hooks getting tangled in the mesh. Trebles, and other hooks simply do not get stuck in the mesh material.
I recommend.

Yes the rubber jobs are great for piking. I love my Savage Gear folding net for pike. No more frustrations with trebles in the mesh.

I took a chance on one of the bigger Greys one. Brilliant. Best "all round" net I've possibly ever had. Highly recommended.
I had one of the Greys nets and found it a bit shallow. I've now got the latest Korum version which is as near perfect a net as I have found. Th latex mesh dosn't stink, is dry almost instantly, its not too shallow and not too deep and it folds in half for easy transport. Next time I see one in the shop i'm going to buy a spare before they replace them with something inferior.

Another vote for the korum net I have the 26 in latex one, had carp to over fifteen pounds in it no problem.
Dries quick and doesn't smell either.

What I Need is a net that dries quickly as I'll be leaving it at my country retreat

Just get the staff to wash it and dry it when they do the horses!
