https://www.bunnings.com.au/grunt-330m-universal-polyester-line_p4310942
This is the line although I had pink and yellow, it says polyester.
Knot ive done is a carrick knot, no matter how tight i pull the b*****d it will slip if you work it a bit. I have found that even tight knots will if you wiggle them come loose so I don't think its the way i am doing the knots. Doing a carrick twice seems to make it hold far better but looks a bit on the uglier side.
Works fine with my other line I used, does not move, although i think that might be braided nylon similar to this

18 hours ago, norseman said:
That's the same knot I use for spun poly, and haven't had a knot slip yet. I've never double knotted and all my nets are good.
I use the same knot in the video
It does not hold it very well, now I could take one of the rolls back and get my $ and try something else but i have 300m of the other roll to use that I cant take back.

Hi all,
Question for the knowledgeable on here to do with making nets out of spun poly, ive found some poly is ok and the double knots hold well but some poly it slips bad, no matter how tight you try and tie it off it comes loose. For those situations what knot do you do?
Ive tried a modified double knot(feed it back up a 3rd time through the first part of the knot and then doing a 2nd double modified knot seems to hold ok but the knots look untidy and im only a beginner so there must be a better way.
thanks in advance

yes it's a good site, my name on there is jackson
would you say there is a [big] difference between styles of hunting over there compared to here, by the looks of things the dogs seem to bred far more for size[mastiff strains] rather than agility
depends mate on what exactly your comparing, pig dogs vs your lurchers... then yes there is a very big difference
we have running dogs too mate, although the breeds are more towards the deerhound/greyhound strains then working dogs like collies and the like.
the way of hunting is different too, most people work their dogs from a ute, rather then walking paddocks, our temperature is a lot hotter, i read on here about your UK dogs having a hard time when its 20degrees celcius and it makes me spin out, ours work in that a lot no worries.

hi guys
so what did you think of the site? any suggestions?ideas or critiques?
-
hi all
check out this site, hope ya like it, should give you an idea of some of the dogs used in Australia to hunt wild boar
-
Thats great matie, always best to say things from experience..then no one can say your wrong..
Ive said for years the best working deerhound stock is now outside the UK..
gday mate, where would you say the best deerhound blood is?? def not australia, too many showies breeding them here too, only 3 real working kennels in australia i know of and they are having a hard time breeding good dogs as they need to use other blood from showies at some point too
staghounds here are IMO the real deal
-
very nice, looks very similar to my roodog
note the bottle on tail, i had to have his tail docked due to him biting the end off... they docked it a bit short but, man i was pissed about that!
-
make yoru own, have a look on ozziedoggers forum there is instructions on there
-
what cross is the rough dog
staghound to staghound for decades
have a look at http://www.kangaroodog.org for pics of their bloodlines/parents/relatives/ancestors

Update
dog is 31inches to the shoulder
reckon he may got a little over but i dont think he will get to 32
hes starting to chase now so the fun begins
-
guys you need to patch your forum, either upgrade ot the latest version of IPB or there is a few other things you can do, ive patched ozziedoggers
spammers found an exploit and as you can see they are smashing it!

wrong darlington mate, the one in western australias not bad, was driving thru there a while back looking at all the roos sitting under trees in the middle of paddocks etc etc
kangaroos ahve an annoying habit of hopping out in front of you at the last minute, very painful and a reason i have a solid metal bullbar, they bounce off without killing your car that way
-
they are common in x's here in australia, a lot of piggers use thm for size and they have nose
technically no irish wolfhounds have hunted wolf for centuries... they were recreated too so not really the true wolfhound of ireland
if i was to look for a true wolf dog, i'd be looking at either american staghounds or borzoi in europe
dont ahve wolves over here, but we do have dingo
-
single is ideal but most of the time its multiple dogs.... but
the reason being we hunt off utes, eg there might be 2 dogs untethered on the back of the ute... if we get a fox in the light both dogs will go
-
as some of you would of read in the past the deer/grey is mostly the baseline to our australian staghounds and kangaroo dogs. Over time other breeds have been added but mostly the blood is deer/grey
-
they good looking dogs the deer/greys
-
have seen running dog types that had lab put in them, also ASD but both those breeds were a long time ago, eg 20 years or so ago
interesting looking dogs
-
blind or not they dont need to see in a warren to catch a rabbit
-
win or lose, doesnt matter, what matters is not being a bad looser, and not being a bad winner IMO
-
gday
a few of us aussies on here
few australian forums about to mate, ozziedoggers, AHN, aushunt
the UK sites are great for the stuff they do on them hey, goldmine for ferret info and running dog stuff!!
-
prefer jills to hobs, fast working jills are what i like
-
as said keep em clean, and the trick is to get them and make sure the parents are near them a lot so they get used to the smell, then they wont notice it as much haha
-
Very nice looking ferret but no for me i like lighter coloured ones i can see moving about on top ,i fear i would lose that one first time i had it out
yeah me too, prefer white coloured, problem i have is you cant tell who is doing what... so im looking for a light colour but not albino, gonna try get one of them sandy types if they are available here in australia, otherwise go for a black eyed white or a silver as then i can identify who's who
as for black, if you were to breed it you would have to breed poley to poley until you darkened them up, but the poleys would have to come from poley bloodlines, eg make the poley gene very strong
thats how ti was sort of explained to me for getting lighter ferrets, keep breeding to albinos that have been albinos for generations
spun poly and knots slipping
in Longnetting

ok bit of an update, thanks to all that have provided some assistance, much appreciated.
The knot I have had the most success with is the double carrick as shown in the vid, they seem to hold reasonable well, at the end of each row I put in 2 x double carricks for good measure.
You can still get the knot undone if you work it but I dont(hope lol) think that will be a problem in the field. I had tried the other knots and they were slipping badly in the beginning
So far ive done the following net sizes based on youtube vids I have watched.
8 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 15 15 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 8

Mostly here in Western Australia we have cotton type nets they are cheap and do the job but they rot and are a maroon typ0e red so blend in to everything. I do have some white ones of the same material but again not the greatest.. thats if you can even find ferreting nets anywhere!
