I prefer spun poly. Easy to handle comes in bright colours and it doesnt rot like hemp.

Hemp but you have to look after it

[thenetter 37]

if your ferreting on a snooker table it's got to be 4x nylon,other wise spun nylon,spun polly and hemp, theyre all good.

its horses for courses.

Any net set properly will catch

spun poly for me, great material. although i still use hemp.

Linen Sole Sewing Thread 6+7 strand for longnets,as well as braided linen

8+9 strand for purse nets. A treat to work with and cracking nets

all ill say is the net needs to have plenty of bag in it - some ppl make them 13 wide and i cant see that adequately holding a large buck for long. dispatching the rabbit in the net with the correct sized net is essential for me as i dont want to spend hours untangling rabbits and wasting valuable ferreting time.

i have used lots of products to make nets over the years and have to say that the spun poly is by far the best thing i have used by a long shot

How many meshes wide do you make your nets Andy? I make my 4ft nets shaped out to 20 meshes.

Spun poly in a bright colour, easy for us old men to see in hedge bottoms. Plenty of bag to purse up, and good quality rings that don't split on the weld. I've used hemp, linen, nylon (in differing weights) and also runners instead of rings, but over the years you work out what's best for you. It's important you use the net that suits your style and the ground you hunt.
