Drennan Red Range Compact Telescopic Landing Net Handle 2.4m

Welcome to Gerry’s Fishing! Upgrade your coarse and match fishing gear with the highly versatile Drennan Red Range Compact Telescopic Landing Net Handle. Built for anglers who demand reliability without the bulk, this handle offers the perfect balance of strength, rigidity, and lightweight performance. Extending to a highly practical 2.4 metres, it provides ample reach for high banks and modern commercial fishery platforms, ensuring you can safely scoop your catch every time.

Whether you are targeting hard-fighting carp and delicate silvers on commercial lakes, or enjoying a mobile roving and stalking session on rivers and stillwaters, this handle is built to perform. The thoughtfully designed textured anti-slip grip ensures you maintain complete control and leverage, even when your hands are wet and coated in groundbait. Best of all, the entire handle packs away to an incredibly compact 90cm, making it effortless to transport in a short quiver, rod holdall, or even strapped to a rucksack.

Examples of Where to Use

• Commercial Fisheries & Lakes: The rigid 2.4m length is the ideal reach for netting carp, F1s, and silverfish from standard wooden staging or modern seatbox platforms.
• River Roving & Stalking: Because it collapses to just 90cm, it is an absolute game-changer for mobile anglers navigating through dense undergrowth, tall reeds, or steep riverbanks in search of chub and barbel.
• Canals and Urban Venues: Perfect for the roaming lure or bait angler walking long stretches of towpath where carrying a bulky 3-piece handle simply isn’t practical.

Pro Tip from Gerry’s Fishing

Pro Tip: When setting up your Drennan Red Range handle for a busy session, pull the telescopic sections out firmly with a slight twisting motion to lock them securely in place. If you are stalking or roving, attach a lightweight pan net head to the handle while it is collapsed. This keeps your setup compact as you walk, but allows you to instantly flick the net out to its full 2.4m length the moment you hook a fish!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What size and style of landing net head is best for this handle?
A: This handle is optimised for standard pan-sized landing nets and lightweight spoon nets up to around 20 inches. It is not designed to support massive 42-inch specimen carp nets.

Q: Will this handle fit into a standard rod bag or quiver?
A: Yes, absolutely. Its ultra-compact 90cm pack-down length means it easily slips into almost any short rod sleeve, quiver, or multi-rod holdall, freeing up valuable space in your luggage.

Q: Can I use this handle for saltwater rock fishing (LRF)?
A: While it is expressly designed for freshwater coarse and match angling, the compact nature makes it popular for Light Rock Fishing. Just be sure to thoroughly rinse the handle and the metal thread with warm fresh water after every saltwater trip to maintain its longevity and prevent corrosion.
