FUBAR 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi leon , I use 3mm hollow braid nylon , and you will need approx twice the lenght of the net + 3 feet. Quote Link to post
maty j 6 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 try 2mm braided cord and you'll need about 2 and a half to 3 times times your net length depending on how much cord you like. best by a 1kg spool then you can cut off what you like when you want it. have a look on ebay, i usually get my stuff off ropeseller 23 or something like that.

Little Butch 16 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Ok cheers Whats you opinion on Nylon Vs a natural cord ???? Leon Quote Link to post
maty j 6 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) such as what natural, fillis? hemp? sisal? remember nylon doesnt rot and slides very fast each to there own though but ive never used natural twine for the drawcord, the net itself well thats different again...

Little Butch 16 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Maybe i'll give the nylon a go then, just checking ebay Leon Quote Link to post
