i like a 50 when pair netting and 25yds when out on my own, my hands are small and i struggle with the hank when picking up a 50 single handed.. i also have some pillow cases with elastic around the top to place my nets in when in the netting jacket, i havent used them as yet but i will give it ago this winter. im hoping they store better in the jacket as i often carry 4 nets sometimes more.. smithie

theres a chap sells longnets on here and triercel (spelling) you dont need a compass nor do you need 100yds in 1 net. use google earth and you can see which way you need the wind blowing to net a particular warren. you can also use the ruller at the top to measure the lengh of the drop. after that just watch the weather and wait for the correct wind..personaly i prefer to cary more smaller nets than 1 longer net as if 1 100 yd nets damaged the night could be over but if i had a 50yd and two 25yd nets and 1 got messed up i still have 2 nets to play with buy a copy of Martin Kings Peg to P

try tiercel i think he sells traditional nets. prices will be fair and the net would be 100% baggin..
