diggermad 153 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Never heard of them matey how do they work cheers Quote Link to post
sam3009 4 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 same as ordinary purse nets Digger. Only difference is theyre made from Kevlar, the same material that bulletproof vests are made from. By all accounts Kevlar is one of the strongest fibres ever made. Quote Link to post
diggermad 153 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 How much buddy and can you get a pic up of 1 cheers DM Quote Link to post
sam3009 4 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 No pics as yet DM as the prototype is just about to be made. As far as price is concerned, as long as the prototype is as good as I hope it will be, they will be priced the same as ordinary 10oz poly nets, if not cheaper atb Sam Quote Link to post
diggermad 153 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Ok mate keep me posted cheers Quote Link to post

tegater 789 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The kevlar thread I have seen before, is a very loose twist that frays quite easily, (light yellowy, shiny stuff) or at least untwists quite easily. Is this thread made for single use, or is it the same stuff that vests are made of? Quote Link to post
lifelong cumbrian 1,802 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Is that material not used in some types of fishing braid? Quote Link to post
Tug 168 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's possibly the stuff that gloves and gauntlets for body shop and glazing workers are made out of. Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 If its the stuff Im thinking of it is used for hooklengths for carp fishing and is quite stiff Quote Link to post
sam3009 4 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 We use it at work to reinforce high pressure hydrualic hoses, braided round the hoses it can withstand up to 26000psi. So it got me to thinking . Not sure how it will perform/handle in practice. A suck it and see execise so hopefully they will turn out to be handy It dosent rot either. Quote Link to post
