This net looks a decent bit of kit but the bow loc system is absolutely stuiped, you have to put that much force into to lock and unlock it's bruised all my arm, (it might slacken off a bit with use) I'm not a small bloke Eddie hall would seriously struggle with it, ide hate to think if say ya was on a boat and had to unlock 1 handed it would be impossible, if you are maybe female, disabled even old I seriously would think twice about buying this net ,it's like the nets to small for the bars to lock into place ,I've spoken on solar forums to other anglers with the p1 bow loc net and they have said its with been new and should slacken off with use ,I've watched all the you tube videos on net, I'm sure I'm doing it right but honestly it's an absolute nightmare to use 1 star might be unfair has looks a really decent net but untill it slacken off abit it's pointless
