net making

[the durham digger 127]

I have alwys made my own nets since my dad showed me when i was just a nipper. I always used hemp until i started with spon poly.... at least with spun poly you arnt worried about it rotting and the net breaking when a fox hits it, trouble with these 2 materials is they arnt easy to get hold hold of, they need to be ordered and then a 2 or 3 day wait until delivered... i was wondering if any you lads have found a good alternitive that is easily accessable to the netmaker??

i preffer 16oz nylon as they fold up smaller than spun poly but again you have to order it

i use a lot of different twines to make nets,but as netrigger mentioned braided nylon is exellent stuff for making fox nets

[the durham digger 127]

No lads havent tried it, where can i get it and how much for a spool?

[jamesmc 582]

i would try.....agouti nets....great for all net making gear,its the 1.3mm cross braid you want to be using.....atb

I use 10oz nylon and double it up on the needle makes a good strong net, but most stuff needs ordering mate I need to try spun poly at some point I still make my rabbit nets from hemp,

[the durham digger 127]

Cheers lads some good input... all my rabbit nets are still hemp mate, dont ferret much these days but hemp is unbeatable for rabbits in my opinion

[netrigger 591]

As said agouti has 1.3mm braid which makes a good net..

 

this braid is also good for fox nets..
