That's what I was thinking I am not 'au fait' with the new quick set nets, but I have seen them when they were first put on the market. What does this grommet do and look like? OTC Quote Link to post

That's what I was thinking I am not 'au fait' with the new quick set nets, but I have seen them when they were first put on the market. What does this grommet do and look like? OTC Ah,..Grommet,...what a beautiful english word... The first 'quick-set' nets were brought to the attention of the public by Mr Glenn Waters... He favoured tying his lines onto the borrowed fibre glass Golf flags by dint of rubberised bands cut from bicycle inner tubes. This idea soon progressed onto lamb castration rings (sadly,designed to rot !) and was further enhanced by the Hampshire based Magnum Trap Company Ltd who piloted the compressed plastic poles and adaptable grommets. The idea of these items was to allow the height of the net to be slid up and down to suit the operative and the terrain. Like most of the Magnum Trap Co Ltd's goods,..they were designed to offer maximum profit to the seller Most lads quickly went back to the 'lacky bands',..such is life...
