snareman 3 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Peg you must set your poles on your net quite close when your expecting big bags like that in 100yrd nets? I used a 100yrd last year and thought because the fibreglass poles I had where so strong I would get away with 8 yards, the net set ok, But when I got more than one rabbit in a section, they pulled the top line to the ground, making it low enough for others to get over I know wat you mean Fat ferret but no all my nets are set on poles 8yards apart and tied in every two yards the way old SNAREMAN designed the system many years ago.The secret to taking big numbers in your 100 yard nets is your 1st and last poles.If you make sure they are set properly the rest of the net will stand up to large numbers of rabbits.On the last drop me and my son done the other night there was 8 rabbits caught between two poles and that happens regularly.You can use ancher pins if you want but i find it unnessesery if you set the net correctly....P&G when big willie and i come down to stay , we don,t want to be eating rabbits every day lad.

StephOC 6 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thats a LOT of rabbits! I bought a 50yard long net at the start of the year ... had a look at it, got a bit tangled, spent an hour trying to fold it up again and gave up. How rubbish is that!? Will have to have another go, even if I do make a mess of it. Quote Link to post
