    Pick up a handle and a net head for about €25, cheap one will last you as long as an expensive one, so long as you take care of it.

    Have a look at http://www.adverts.ie/for-sale/sports-fitness/fishing/210/ you will probably find a decent second hand one.

    Now that I think of it Aaron, where are you based, I might have an old un-used Landing net at home you could have, no handle though, I'll check when I get home.

    I got one in aldi and there good enough.the part where the handle clips tothe net came loose but insulation tape solved it.I got mine for a tenner because they were trying to sell them off a few weeks after they came in .....the fold and adjustment is handy to.....I'd buy it if I was you
