stinkers 102 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 honestly it doesnt take long to learn making them. I used this vid to start me off and ok i messed up the first two itried but after that im flying. Ive been out tried and tested my nets and was using shop bought for years, even only after one session with the stinkers i wont be using my bisleys again. A lot easier to set and 10 times easier to pack up with 90% less crap being snagged in them. Best bet is buy a few of one of the lads here and then try them out and then when you see the difference in quality and ease of use .....then venture into making your own 1 Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think the video above is one of the easiest to learn from, its the one I used. I didnt find the book "Net Making For Sport" anything more than inspirational, crap really. Riggers Beware!!! Making purse nets may lead to making poke nets, fox nets, stop nets and bloody long nets! 1 Quote Link to post

Whilst on the subject of "room for improvement" photographs, That other net book you personally get highly praised in, in the dropnet section, theres a photo with "Down it all comes, like poetry in motion" Hardly, looks like the near section of net is a foot high off the floor, and the far section looks like it runs off up into the tree...

lifelong cumbrian 1,816 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Time you buy the twine etc it is probably cheaper to buy but i like to make my own things. Not that i am tight but i get more satisfaction making all my own gear be it ferreting gear of fishing lures, fly's etc. handmade ,what kind of lures do you make lc?sorry for going off topic,pm if you like Toby type, a kinked spoon type, derwent spoons, i also used to make pike plugs but gave them to my mate who fishes for pike regular, i like salmon, sea trout and brownie fishing.

desertdog 149 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ive made my own nets, probabaly for the past 35yrs and still enjoy it, fox nets, long nets, poke nets,ditch nets, all good fun, and to my way of thinking,every rabbitting man should know how to do it,ive had lads come to me and ive shown them,and because of lack of dedication they,ve stopped, and i end up making them,and they buy them from me, i dont mind,gives me a bit of beer money .every year i have lads come back for nets,which is nice,i stash a bit of what ive made and get more twine and ring, i like doing it,i make to order and ,any size.
