Draw Cord To Thick ??

[thenetter 37]

Hi there,I've just been putting the draw cords on some purse nets I've made.

I usually use 2mm cord thickness, but there was a bit of 3mm cord left

from my fox nets, so I thought I'd see how they turned out.Anyway when I'd

done a couple I noticed they didn't seem to be purseing as well as normal.

I was using a rough twinned hemp,but they just seemed to be sticking, and

not running smoothly.What do all of you think,is the draw cord to thick, or is

it because of the rough hemp ??.

Caused by the rough hemp i use 3mm drawcord on all my purse nets and they run free and catch with no probs i find the extra bit of weight helps keep them in place when its windy each to there own prefrence

and there's no problems.your right must be the hemp.

If a 3lb rabbit hits them they should purse okay ?. it only because there empty your getting the drag

hold the net in your hand stand on the peg and push into the net with your other hand does it purse okay ?.

did what you said [The one] I suppose they do purse,but I still think the 2mm draw cord

works better on the rough hemp.

Saying that like[ max abell] say's 3mm cord works a treet on everything else.

thanks for your reply's.
