Hemp, Rings & Nylon

[Yokel Matt 918]

Its been a while since i've made my own nets but i got the bug again whilst patching up my longnet the other day.

 

I've had the idea of make some purse nets for my godfather as a belated thank you for shooting trip and also knock some up some as a gift for some mates (ones had a kid and one just married... figure they'll both be getting out a bit more )

 

I've still got a spool and a half and 30 rings from the ol' days to keep me going but... as i'm bored off my tits... i thought i'd get the ball rolling. Just found some on the net advertised as 500gm spool for £8.50 and rings at 85p for 10... i'm sure i never paid that much for it... am i being a skin-flint or is this right? :whistle:

 

I know a lot of lads seem to use spun nyon now but i prefer the feel and lay of hemp... call me a sentimental traditionalist.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I'e

Localyokel,

 

Unfortunately that's about how much the stuff costs now. Luckily I stockpiled loads of rings years ago when they were just pennies each so I should be ok for now but when they're gone I wil be forced into the market as you are. If there are any cheap suplliers then I too would be interested to know for the future.

 

I am also a 'natural' twine man but I will have a go with this spun polyester next the lads are all raving about, it could be just the stuff. I have used heavy green MOD spun nylon for fox nets before but it is too heavy for rabbit nets I think.

 

Where's the cheapest and best for netmaking gear then lads??

[Guest Bigbob]

That site rabbithunters saying about hemp (flax) winnings sells 408s as net making stuff where as everybody else sell 508s and winnings mininum order is £300

If you want a nice big heavy ring you can do a lot worse than farmerdixie on Smoochers
