Any Good?

[RossM 7,979]

Got these of a lad at work the ring is 4 inch and the spike is 10. Any good for end pins? My initial thoughts are they're too thick?

They would come in handy for pegging the dogs out on.

you always get people saying i use a 9 inch 6mm spike and i use an 8 inch, i got a 3 inch ring or 5.

 

the thing i find is for somebody new to longnetting is better with a larger ring on the end pin but the spike thickness and length depends on the soil were you work your nets.

 

i have some very stoney land where i can not get my endpins all the way in to the ground and as there only 5mm im sure they must feel more stress on the spike as its maybe 2/3 inch not in the ground so i could have a shorter spike on the nets i use there

 

if i was working loose or sandy soil maybe a thicker/longer spike would be more appropriate

 

just use what you have until more come along as long as you can work your net its not a problem, you can fine tune it all later.

As long as your pin holds the net, thats all that matters, its not rocket science.

For me the dimensions aren't excessive. In fact most of my end pins are around 9" long and a 1/4" diameter. I suppose for some, the weight factor I would be a concern, but they look fine to me. Just give them a try and see how you get on.

I've got end pins kindly gifted by smithie, just a lad from work saw a net with pins in the back of my motor said he had about 20 of them lying around his garage, so i have 20 of them lol
