Oh yes. I wish I had known about JDM gear the 21 years I fished the Red Sea and Persian Gulf...those GT’s could flat tear up some equipment....LOL. I would love to go to Japan now and hook up with one of their UL Master fisherman and fish with them.

I'm getting one of those for my carp fishing.

What sold me on this one was the lifting of the carp. But I’m sure the other ones are same quality also.

Can u PM me or update this thread when u find out about the rubber mesh. I wondered if you could replace the head with one of the US brands (Jenko, Ego, etc). Not sure if they are 1/2” stud or not.

Tried quite a few long nets in the last five years. Even the new model from jenko. Personally, I don’t care much for any of them. Had problems with the handles on them sticking, locking up, and with the jenko, breaking. Every company replaced the nets with great customer support. May look at the Japanese ones in the future. Using the jenko now.

At this point I’m pretty much between the Japanese one Alaphahawk listed a few posts earlier and the Jenko Big T. I just wanna make sure I have a rubber mesh head. I like the telescopic concept of the Japanese vs the Jenko bc A) the size B) and no twist locking.

Get an older style net where the handle is about 1" and insert broom stick. Works all the time for me

Many times I will fish from a steep bank. I first went the long net route about 8 years back I guess with the Ego Slider. As you say the handle stuck after a couple of years but they were great and sent me a new one out. While it is still performing it is somewhat sticky. Plus as I have a few more years on me it has gotten a little more heavy than I would like. The net I ordered from Japan will be here by Friday. I will give a review and let those know who may want to go down this road how the net performs.
