Hello. I am a fisherman who goes ocean shore fishing here in CA and I'm looking for a good telescopic landing net (the ones where you can extend the handle) to scoop up my catch. The other week I had a huge fish on my line, but didn't have a net in hand, and my line broke. I fish from the shore and the water is about 6-10 feet below me. I'm looking for something that folds to a decent compact size that I could bring with me in case I land the big one. Oh and I only intend to use it once in awhile...only for those 4-plus pounder fish. Any advice on which ones are good, reliable, not too heavy, and relatively compact?
I had the idea of using heavier line or a bigger pole, but I really love fishing fish on smaller poles...thanks in advance:)
