I brought a sheet of netting from advanced, and its ok, but its not as good as Nelsons lint. I dont know where he gets such a soft lint from, but advanced lints have a lot of binding agent on them. I gather Nelson buys 100 lints at a time, so he can get them made to his exact requirements. The advanced netting lint has started to soften now after a couple of years, but I would still buy all my longnets from Nelson. Hes an ex fishermen and knows how to rig gear properly, I have seen some hash ups by so called longnet riggers. Hi beany01 sorry to seem thick but what do you mean by lint its a term I haven't heard before and why the softer lint is a benefit. Also binding agent what is this and why is it used on nets.

Also binding agent what is this and why is it used on nets. Lint is the proper term for the mesh. A softer lint is more flexible and will enmesh the rabbits better. A binding agent is a chemical used to bind the fibres in the twine together 1 Quote Link to post

I'm thinking it was a 4 inch mesh that shrank to 3inch 7\8. A lot of nets do shrink slightly, especially when they get wet and dry out. My father has some old sprat nets that were boiled to shrink the mesh size, when the sprats one year were small Edited October 19, 2019 by beany01 Quote Link to post
Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 So managed to make my new net today... 81 yarder for £60 ish and about 4 hours of labour... is it worth it? Will got some pics up tomorrow of it in use hopefully. A massive thank you to NELS0N on here for the help. Top bloke FF Quote Link to post
