ive just replaced my old net due to wear and tear after four years and invested in a greys rubber mesh job im very impressed with its mesh construction and shape ideal for barbel and rivers nice and light and tuff as hell and of coarse the rubber mesh is better for the fish as less likly to hold bactiria and less likley to harm the fish buy fins getting trapped by the old net design id recomend it to all after all its greys and in my opinion greys customer care is second to none and there goods are top noth from rods to nets.
