[TOMO 25,208]

ive made some using 1mil galv fencing fire,, very easy to bend in to shape with the pliers

[whin 463]

ye made plenty like that years ago but found plastic 5 12 15 mm sheets and other bits if you had a good warm worshop you could wile away the time making them , neve rot and net would get feched beforer slider , you even get green fencing wire plastic coated that would do tomo , got apile of nets to ring up , been to busy hunting

millet any chance a sticking up a couple a pics or a description of your jig??? i have tried the sliders on nets but dont own any nets with them on, a mate has offered to make me some nets an i have some rods here, so id like a few on them to compare to the old rings over a period of time

Here you go mate..it's nothing flash and neither are the slider's but it is simple and effective..the slider's in the pic's are not stainless but they still do the job..the stainless one's are better but it's a bit more time consuming knocking them up as the wire is springey and need's batting about with a hammer.

saw simular in france only they used a 8 shaped piece of leather or 1/4 ply with 2 holes in, then the net was knitted direct onto the other end or the draw cord and finshed on the leather or ply if that makes sense

Can some one explain why in detail?

[TOMO 25,208]

great minds think alike millet,, thats exactly how i make mine

you could youse the same logic, to explain rings,,,,after all purse nets dont even need them.............

 

i think some people think sliders are faster than rings,,, in all honesty i dowt theres anything in it,,,,, just somthing difrent and personal choise..

 

oh and of course making a slider saves you 10p on a ring

you can make you own rings aswell drill a hole in a brush handel stick the end of the straining wire in and wrap the wire around the handel, cut and solder

what do you use to weight the bottom of the net.

 

Slidder or ring or somthing else.

[Mick C. 229]

What is the distance between the two eyes on a slidder

 

Also do you use a slidder ring or somthing else to weight the bottom of the net.

 

thanks

[paulus 26]

you dont need anything at the other end of the net :laugh: the ring weighs piss all anyway

[Mick C. 229]

Fair enough

 

Although personally i like to knit a bottom ring in
