Rake aboot 4,936 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I`ve been havin a shot, and the poly seems to be OK to work with,, Kittlerox complained that the flouro orange stuff, cut his fingers,,! I`ve tried it and it seems ok, but maybe it has different handling properties to other coulours,, They are not all the same thickness etc etc,, Quote Link to post

I use spun poly but have never had a problem with it being hard on the fingers although I have heard others talk about it. Which part of making the knots is doing the damage to your fingers? Are you using a mesh board or doing it the old fashioned way? Quote Link to post

The crimson red twine from Agouti is very heavy duty compared to the flo colours. Quote Link to post

Doing it this way means no twine passes over skin as the knot tightens, and touch wood all my knots hold fast. When I first started tying, I thought I had a couple that slipped on my first net, but on investigation all it was, was that I had missed a turn. Hope you get it sorted. Quote Link to post
