Recommended Posts


i have been given a 25yrd stop net for ferreting, just wondered if anyone has any quickset poles with grommets for sale, and can some one tell me how many poles i will need

thanks ferreterno1

You will need 4 poles on a 25 yrd net mate I think someone does the fibreglass poles (the best ) on this forum.

im getting them from him but he said 4 should be ok

better setting the net on 6 uprights ! keeps the lines taut.

 

call me old fashioned but i use hazel,nice and light and costs feck all. still use them in a basket no probs.

(perhaps im just a tight a*!e huh)

Hallelujah Hallelujah, Mapreader falls to knees and bows non stop for a full five minutes to both Molecatcher and Netrigger. I too use only hazel for my longnets (split ash for the old purse net pegs)apart for the first peg out of the basket, the fibre-glass pole goes in well to get the rest off to a good start. I find the fibre -glass poles much too noisy for night work, much too heavy (although i,m told there are lighter ones available)and, this is the best bit @ £3.50 a stick that would cost me £350 to rig all my five night time nets . Er I don,t think so. Could you imagine, if, in all innocence, I accidently strayed over my permission boundries and then had to run off and leave all my nice new, heavy, rattly, shiny fibre-glass poles, Iwould still be found by them following the river of tears i,d cried. :cry: Over and out Mapreader.

Noise!!!! of the pegs!!!!! at the end of the day the wind is the netters friend !!!! I personally work with a two man team!! strange how when walking up to a set the guy in front alwayse seems the noisest bugger!!!

Er, the point was that even on good winds those fibre-glass jobs have only got to move slightly in the basket to play a tune that will alert the close feeders, hazel is first choice for availability and it is also the quietest that i have found. I often work on my own and as hard as you try some sticks shift in the basket. :hmm:

Good call Netrigger, but working on my own i will oft times carry and run three hundred yards at one go, using the old method of picking all the rubbish out with one hand whilst the other holds the net up in the air, not for me these days. If it works for you then all power to your elbow. but for me two hands to sort out the trash. Regards. Mapreader. :thumbs-up:
