First designed in 1928, the original Gye net has stood the test of time and many anglers would agree has never been beaten. Carried over your back, to use it, just release the peel sling and the net head will fall down making the operation just one handed. nnThe 48″ sliding handle and 24″ dia, net frame are constructed from high tensile aluminium, with a cast alloy powder coated block. nnIt is supplied with a leather peel sling and a high quality Sharpe’s knotless net bag (Code KL 8), with 3″ (80mm) square meshes (corner to corner) or 1 1/2 inch (3.8 cm) square hole that is approximately 36″ deep, as shown in the photograph. We often learn that these have being passed down from each generation! nnThe 24” Gye net is one of our most popular sizes and capable of holding fish up to 27/28 lbs; one has been recorded at 30 lbs, but assistance was needed!
