I made up some from 10m/m solid aluminium bar they seem to work good , Cost worked out to be 2 dollars each Aus, dunno about uk pounds Would be interesting if someone could weight a fiberglass one to compare, As that was my only concern that they could be heavier Have just weighed a 900m/m long solid one 200g Bernie

The last two ferrets i got hold of bit like crocodiles ,, What i did was give them puppy milk and when they are drinking it, I would stroke them when they are busy drinking, They know it is you took about a month or so but it worked Ferrets that bite = pain in arse Forgot to add if they get a good hold of thee ,, Blow down there nose they cannot breathe and let go ,, dont ask me how i know regards Bernie

Funny you should say that about curtain rings i was talkin to a old fella the other day 73 years old been ferreting once a week on average since 13 years old , And he reckoned they used curtain rings years ago ,, The ground around were i go in aust are mainly sandy coastal areas ,, Still miss the places i went as a kid around derbyshire Like has been said before you could tie nets with no rings at all ,, But its interesting as everybody has there own way of doin things b
-
Yeah for the main body of the net i use spun polyester,Drawstring is like a flat nylon cord,Ring is nylon What do you use ??? B
-
I was thinking the ring doesnt do that much , but it easy to tie the net to I prob should elaborate a little , I make injection moulding tools for a job , So i made one for the ring I have been using these for around a month they work very well ,, the twine used in my net is plastic and now the ring Bernie
-
I was making some purse nets and was having trouble finding a good 1inch ring in Aus , There was the usual asian quality rings around, but i was going to all that trouble hand making a net i wanted a little better ring , I had already spent about an hour on the phone trying to locate some and couldnt , I thought i will make my own so i did around 500off , They are strong and slip nice , and will never rust made from nylon 66 ,, Here is a couple of pics see what you think Bernie
-
Pipa Have you ever tried making your own finders, I messed around a bit but not much luck Bernie
