landing net

Question

I've been looking for a lightweight super strong landing net for salmon fishing for years. Nothing on the market is both strong and light. Can you design and build the handle and hoop?  1.250 dia handle 6 feet long with a 35 inch hoop. Thanks Capt Brad.

Hey @brad! Welcome to Composites Community!

Do the aluminum landing nets not cut it? The nets I've used are already pretty darn light! Granted, I haven't used one THAT BIG before. Carbon fiber will usually save you about half the weight. The cost goes up quite a bit though! The best thing to do first would be to ensure the cost moving to CF doesn't make it too expensive for your target market. You can get some quick approximate prices for manufacturing from places like Alibaba, then factor in domestic manufacturing and that CF is about 10x the cost of aluminum. If that all checks out, get a drawing or model over to Rock West Composites for a quote.

Hope this is helpful 👍
