Wanted to buy, fishing net with a looong pole. Suitable to catch ducks
I am looking to buy a fishing net with an extendable pole. I have used one that an animal rescue from Wellington had which they said they got from a hunting and fishing store (presumably in welly) for around 80. It from memory extended out two or three times it’s contracted length, and the pole was about maybe 2.5 -3 or more metres (not including the net part)
It is needed to catch ducks on a river and the pole needs ot extend the net as far as possible. I already have nets with standard length poles of around one metre or so and am looking for something with significantly more reach
I have already visited a whole load of hunting and fishing stores and bunnings and various other places and not been able to find what I want. If anyone has one to sell or knows of somewhere that does have what I need, please text me on 020 406 41485
Thanks

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
