AVID PRO-TECT LANDING NETS
Price: 6ft £99.99, 8ft £109.99
The new PRO-Tect landing nets come in a choice of handle lengths, with an 8ft/2.4m parallel two-piece handle or a 6ft/1.8m reverse taper high-modulus carbon handle – both of which are lightweight, sturdy and responsive.
Both boast a matte 3K weave finish, giving them a sleek and professional look, and the sandblasted handle grip ensures a secure hold, even in wet weather conditions.
The machined ground spike handle cap allows you to secure the net in the margins to safely retain a fish for short periods while preparing your weighing and camera equipment.
An ultra-hardwearing machined spreader block houses the reinforced ends of the 42ins carbon arms, while a deep and fish-friendly olive green mesh with Avid graphics completes the impressive package.

Price: 12ft £199.99, 13ft £209.99
Elevate Spod/Marker rods feature the thinnest, lightest and most powerful blanks Avid has ever produced. Available in 12ft and 13ft lengths, the rods benefit from cutting-edge carbon technologies which result in an ultra-fast recovery speed and assist with distance and accuracy.
