lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I just spliced 2 bottom lines, dropped a couple of quick sets myself one night and had to walk the field myself, i knew what was coming, both had a section of running line chewed, still managed 31 rabbits so it made fixing them easier. As for holes in meshes, i often have my nets run out in the field fixing them, i just nail knot the meshes back together, these old nets i use for ferreting woods and night time are like patchwork but still do the job grand, made myself a new quick set up for ferreting clean bits with my collie pup. set this one at 7yds, in one of my little baskets, great light set up for ratching about, 49yds long.

Is there any pictures of splicing please Quote Link to post
lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 That is the way I repair the burst meshes, I just nail knot them back together, works fine, I am always fixing burst nets. Instead of using a nail, use a plastic cotton bud stem, just push the twine up the middle of the tube. Would do a video but can’t get them on, I could send you one tomo if you are on WhatsApp. 1 Quote Link to post
