[Guest norseman]

Gate nets are big poke nets that purse,like a purse net..

 

Longnet are as the name discribes long and come in all sorts of sizes standard sizes 25yrd 50,75 and hundred..

 

Some are made to measure. Smaller ones are know as stop nets..

I rarely use purse nets these days...The long net is unbeatable

gate nets are not poke nets

 

their just another form of stop net,

put it through a hedge, behind a gate were everj

as long as they do their job

I have a stop net made by albert64 on here, and its very well made and does the job very well, i would highly recommend him

 

I like stop nets, but i really dont get on with long nets.

I've used a longnet for around 8 years and in the right place is unbeatable got mine from Brian Brinded easy to find on the net not the cheapest but great quality. My advice would be to practice on a local field you may look like a wally but better than missing any zig zag through middle then around the outside or like a stop sign on smaller setts
