Your new forum site is super but after looking over several threads I note one unaddressed question.
With the super-flexible rod tip how do you get a fish close enough to yourself to net it without bending the rod into a 180 degree bend?

It's called "The Reach", a great aerobic exercise and stretch, better than yoga if you ask me -

It will bend 180 without any problem, then you reach and grab the line and pull it in. I use 5x tippet and have yet to break a fish off.
A pushbutton telescoping net would be ideal. Starts out the size of an original net but extends out to 3 -4 feet.
Bet there's one out there already ... somewhere. ha!! If not, someone needs to get on it and invent one. Make huge sums of money!! ;)
There are telescoping nets:
