Netrigger, I was just sorting a order with Engels. I couldn’t decide whether to get 20/9 or 20/12 spun poly for the body of the net, most of what I’ve knit have been  20/9 double and they do the job perfectly but thought I’d give 20/12 a try... then you mentioned 0.25  braided nylon and my ears pricked up... does it come in a colour ? And what knot would you recommend ?. 

Only in white Mr. W,, plus you need to take care whilst adding a dye as it will shrink,, so select the mesh board size,, the 20/12  makes a nice net,, single strand, the 0.25mm needs a double knot,, not the shitty so called double knot,, Carrick whatever they call it,, single knot it then throw a hitch on top,,

I couldn’t care less who made it as longs it works ? I’d rather catch with net somebody made right than one I’d made of lesser quality?I don’t build me own house or car or even furniture, fcuk there’s a battle every times wife buys chest drawers or wardrobe ? same as snares am trap, it take me decades to become as half as good as true net makers, no matter the material or length or height or anything, a web only as good as it knots, and there’s a lot knots to get job right, sack that I’ll leave it to the masters of the web, just like I’ll take me motor to a grease monkey ???
