Default Awesome Fly Fishing net..!

On my last fishing trip I saw a beautiful short handed fish net with the
built in scale (in the handle) to weight the fish right in the net. All
you do is raise the net with the trout above the water level, unscrew
handle/spring release and it will weight the trout without even removing
it from this handy fish net! Wow! Awesome fly fishing net! But where can I
buy one or order one? Anybody knows?

It comes with fine rubberized net and short stainless steel handle with
the mechanics inside the handle. The "Quick Unlock Screw" is right at the
back of the handle. After you're done weighing the fish, just submerge and
release fish unharmed. Than just push in the knob and give it a twist to
lock it the handle inside again. I think it was made in Australia or new
Zealand. However, I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. Sure would
like to buy one.

I found these, but nothing with a rubber mesh net...
