Spro FREESTYLE XTENDER fishing net handle modification’s / improvements

Decided to do a quick video of the modifications I’ve done to my new Spro freestyle xtender handle. What do you guys think should I do more videos over the winter or just leave it until I’m back fishing?
Cheers Paul

Thanks Sean ! Trying to keep hold of the subs and watch time I’ve built up over the summer 🤞🏻

[@foggy460]

Great idea. Thanks for the content.

[@chuckitandsea]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@dannyfishinglife]

great video

[@chuckitandsea]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@dannyfishinglife]

@@chuckitandsea can you compare flick and flip net?

[@chuckitandsea]

HTO flip was better and cheaper than the Flick IMHO I have a £15 Korum snapper now and it’s been great so far little less precise on locking but very good value so far

[@dannyfishinglife]

@@chuckitandsea thank you

[@UndergroundSessions1]

Great mods, really clever. Which kind of net attach to this? Im looking for a cheap, light and compact solution for streetfishing. round 50x50cm. Flick net is something I like.

[@chuckitandsea]

I’m currently using a Koran snapper it’s great and I paid £15 for it !!! I used to use a HTO net until this happened kzbin.info/www/bejne/roKuoGOllLuqiNksi=FkZMp6QkFjoxVhUE

Thank you for the great Video! Did you have any corrosion issues in combination with salt water? How long did you old handle last?

[@chuckitandsea]

Hi thanks, The old handle was used for over a year and was still working fine until the end came off !! you can see it on the last of the sea bass videos. No corrosion issues I did wash it off with fresh water after most times. .. tight lines 🎣

[@_plinse]

@@chuckitandsea So it was the glue failing only, no cracked carbon? Thanks for your Feedback! Tight lines!

[@chuckitandsea]

@@_plinse the end is glued in that’s why I drilled and pinned it 👍🏻

[@_plinse]

@Chuck it and sea I understand but connecting carbon and metal is always a challenge. Chemically they are too different and mechanically also. You will find out whether the bolt will make the carbon crack. What I like is the option to use 3 different lengths. I will give it a try. Thank you!!

[@chuckitandsea]

@@_plinse only to outside cover is carbon. The extension parts are plastic and aluminium the part I drilled through was not carbon.

[@martingillett5792]

What size hole did drill in end cap ?

[@chuckitandsea]

I think about 3.5 mm the hole size is not really important it’s only to hold the cord and let water out 👍🏻

[@nige99]

Where do you buy these from please ?

[@chuckitandsea]

I bought this originally form predatortackle.co.uk 👍🏻

[@jasmijnariel]

No idea why they dont do a pin in the factory. It is a problem from day 1 that the carbon nets came out

[@chuckitandsea]

Perhaps they will give me a job in development 😂 I was shocked tbf but the fix is done 👍🏻

[@jasmijnariel]

@@chuckitandsea i ordered one today after my foldable one broke after only being 1.5y old. I will fix it too ofcourse, i have the skills and the drills

[@chuckitandsea]

@@jasmijnariel let’s hope you fill the net soon 🎣

[@jasmijnariel]

@@chuckitandsea i almost never blank, so that wouldnt be a problem😂

[@chuckitandsea]

Good stuff 👍🏻

[@bobsuru]

Spro advertises the handle to 'half turn twist' extend. However, I have to do a whole bunch of twists to extend a part of the handle. You know where this half twist comes from?

[@chuckitandsea]

Deffo not this handle ! I’ve not seen that advertisement mine is several turns unless you just leave it on the last part of the thread. No idea how they think this is half a twist. Maybe a different handle ?
