Net Making Advice

[ferretnhound 71]

so.... how long does it take most folks to make a purse net? made my first ine last night with a few mistakes along the way which was annoying. indoing them nots aint the easyest! took me 4 hours to make 1 net. The guys that make nets to sell on cant make much profit on them. the price they sell them out isnt that much more expensive than the materials. so thumbs up to them guys doing others a big favour really.

It's just one of those things with big hobs,,,your best bet is using stop nets,,,and long nets,,,or if you have a dog let the dog catch them

like he said! i rarely use purse nets now just long nets

Im very slow at making nets but I only make them for my own use so it doesn't matter realy, as long as the end product is top quality its worthwhile.
