Poke nets ???

[cubby 3]

Was just wondering if anyone other than me uses two pegs ( poke nets) on all there nets this is what I was brought up using with my grandpa and when I went out with someone else they had nets with one peg and I had me two pegs. My nets are not overly long 4' or 3' 6". Just wondering if anyone else use two pegs

purse nets and poke nets are differant a poke net is normally alot bigger than the purse nets usally for the holes that are really close together,

 

alot of the old boys would double peg. but i just tuck a tail down the hole and the rabbits weight is enough to purse it up ..

horses for courses and all that

Made a good few poke nets usually 5 footers alway's gave them away never fancied putting in two pegs when one would do

poke nets are good for double holes and tricky bits there alot wider than a standard net (20 meshes wide) and have been there when i need them. dont use them all the time but have 10 in my bag for when needed

Cheers guys as I thought most people use one peg I might need to give it a try see how it goes would reduce the weight of a bag of nets a bit

Double peggers have a real advantage when foxing but for rabbiting in the bottom of trees and rock piles they are sometimes handy. A friend of mine uses poke nets with a ring and a slider. Carnt really see any benefits in it my self but he swears by them.

Best nets I have for laying in runs in hedges are poke nets, I caught alot of rabbits last few years using them like that.

They are also ideal for holes close together.

Every net back should have a few

All my nets are twenty meshes wide and four foot long far better than a shorter thinner net

Why would you use a poke net over a double hole or 2 holes that are in close proximity ..? It's bad practice...., they excel at tree stump sets & such places but generally the best rule is 1 net per hole......a poke net that was set in such a way & caught a bolted / back netted rabbit would catch and hold well but by catching your left with 2 un-netted holes & 2 potential escape routes.....

I'm with you one hole one net poke nets are a good net

especially on holes at the foot of trees.
