Yeah, what Jim said.
I've had a seatrout net for over 14 years now and it's as good as the day I bought it.
Sharpes stuff isn't cheap but it is VERY well made  :z16

One of the lost posts was mine Dave.

Basically I was saying that I bought a Sharpe's Folding Boat Net from Somer's in Aberdeen last year (I believe it was a model made specifically for Somer's) and it fell apart after two days. :shock   I replaced it with a McLeans and I'm very happy with it.  All my nets are now McLeans (I particularly like their weigh nets).  In my experience McLean's nets are well designed, manufuactured and are built to last.
