Description
The Korum Opportunist XTND 1.8m Tele Net Handle is the ultimate solution for mobile anglers looking for a super-compact landing net handle without sacrificing rigidity or strength. Part of the upgraded Telescopic XTND series, this handle features a reinforced carbon construction that is noticeably stiffer than previous generations, giving you total control when scooping fish with large spoon or specimen triangle nets.
Designed to collapse down to a remarkably short transport footprint, it fits neatly into compact rod sleeves, roving bags, or quivers. Ergonomic Duplon grip zones ensure a non-slip hold even when your hands are wet, while a heavy-duty pinned inner thread delivers absolute strength at the head connection point. Complete with a durable rubber keeper bung to hold the internal sections securely in place while on the move, it is built to withstand the demands of mobile bankside angling.

Pro Tip
Due to its compact, multi-section telescopic design, this 1.8m handle is perfect for keeping fully set up with your net head attached, secured inside a compact sleeve or quiver. When moving between swims on a river or commercial fishery, make sure the rubber keeper bung is pushed firmly into place to protect the thread and stop the sections from extending accidentally while walking through dense bankside cover.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the rubber keeper bung?
The rubber keeper bung inserts into the top section of the handle when collapsed, holding all internal telescopic sections safely in place and protecting the blank from dirt and damage during transit.
Is this handle rigid enough for big specimen net heads?
Yes, the XTND Tele series is specifically engineered with reinforced carbon walls and a pinned inner thread to carry heavy spoon and large specimen triangle net heads without bending or flexing under load.
Will my current landing net head fit this handle?
Yes, the pinned inner thread uses a standard universal thread pattern compatible with virtually all coarse, commercial, and specimen landing net heads.
