steamingutpiles 117 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Can't find any online t the moment, most places are sold out, so wondering if anyone on here is making any for sale at the moment ? I've started fabricating a few here for my own use based on LLC's good design. But the postage to the UK would be more expensive than the net basket. The only thing I'm having trouble sourcing is the mesh laundry bags. Does anyone havea clue where I can get them from in Australia? Cheers Quote Link to post

Paid 935 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Right then. Paid. I will make you a basket to LLC's specs at the same time I'm making my own. It will be out of stainless but will only be the frame. You net it up yourself. I will also provide an adjustable strap. Won't be much on costs. Pm me if your interested Atb Nice one mate, thats a sound offer :-) Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think on this forum we are in debt to LC who has not kept his idea of improving net basket to himself. Putting up how to make it with photos, and measurements. He has told me, he has been receiving four pms per day, for requests to make them. Im sure if Nelson can make them, to the original quality, he should do well. having met the man, who spent a morning with me, he is a true Gent. . 2 Quote Link to post

WILF 44,299 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Do you boys rate the basket as opposed to traditional?........not used a longnet for ages but always found the traditional very easy and the baskets look much more cumbersome 2 Quote Link to post

Those that can't, just can't be arsed to learn, so they use baskets. Simples really, their loss. TC Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 TC. I had been taught by the old poachers over 40 years ago how to net the sets at night, and as you know this was not easy, as these old guys would not show you a birds nest, So although i had done the trad method for years, I had never seen a basket. And so with LC coming to visit me, I saw the advantage of this system. Especially with daytime ferreting, and i reckon if i had used this method years ago, i may have put more rabbits in the bag. Longnetters today have it easy, with forums and DVDs, when i learned from these old guys i went the same way, keeping to myself, as they used to tell me, show them, and they will be doing your setts. So i am just pleased that LC took time to show me his methods, that i had never used. So now I know how to use both methods. Traditional and basket. Quote Link to post
Paid 935 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 It just makes the whole thing easier, and quicker. I use mine mainly for ferreting, but they are also a lot easier to set out at night. horses for courses really. but once you have run a few nets out from a basket you can appreciate just how easy they are to put out, and take in, day or night.
