BIT THICK, NEED EDUCATING

[mole catcher 1]

sounds like the nets i and some folk call poke nets i have a few 5.5 ft purse nets that are double peggers(poke nets) for where you have a large hole that has caved away leaving a hole to big for one standard purse net(not that there is a standard size for a purse net)

 

Now, these poke nets i use have rings not sliders fitted and i think they close much faster than a single pegged net because of the two draw cords(this halves the traveling distance of the ring/slider) so in my own opinion i feel it is the fact it is double pegged and not that it is rigged with a slider that is in fact causing them to close faster.

 

Like ive said, this thread is not about proving whos methods are right and whos are wrong,(please remember this folks ) i just wanted to have a good no bull***t debate about an item of kit that is possible as old as the ferret itself. many thanks for everyones input, keep it coming

one reason you all forgot. its cheaper with slidders . most folk make there own , with wire they have aquired :whistle: saving 7p per ring.

 

yeh i know know im a tight fecker

 

personly i like the sliders, and now make my nets with one on one end and a ring on the other, unless its a big poke net.

Cheeper,

 

if you work on the figure of say a man earning 10pound an hour and it takes him say 5 mins(as a fast worker) to make each slider he can make 1doz sliders an hour. working on the asumption his a busy man each slider has in fact in time cost him 83p per slider

 

 

if hes a realy fast worker he can make 24 per hour each slider is costing him 41.5p per slider. times that by 100 for a bag of 100 thats a cost of 45.50p in his time

 

 

sorry but it takes me 5mins to pick up the phone and ring my supplier and get a bag of 100 heavy steel rings for a cost of less than a tenner delivered to my door.

feck me you two

 

feel like im public enemy no1 for that comment

 

 

im only playing devils advacate to keep the debate going to see others veiws, personaly i cant see there being any advantages over having sliders on purse nets imho. but if we were all the same it would be a very boring world, would'nt it?

 

thanks for your input :kiss:

MC,

 

I have only ever used steel rings on my nets so I really don't know if I am missing out on something, I will have to make some up on sliders and try them out next winter I suppose.

 

I have never experienced any problems from using rings, and since I normally set my nets with the bottom ring pushed into the ground, I wonder how such a thing is possible with a slider . . . . . . or whether it is unneccessary.

 

Thought provoking thread . . .
