Greyman 25,258 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 You can make them from plastic 25 litre drums or laundry baskets if you just want to catch some or do you want to learn the old skills ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxdropper 17,092 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Most commercial pots are made from discarded trawler nets zip tied over a metal frame .No doubt some sew new netting but I watched them making them in Pool harbour last year while waiting for a mackerel trip that was shite .

I like learning old skills honestly. Been building all sorts of nets for a while now , started when I was like 13 and I'm 24 now and I build hoops ,gill , and wire nets mainly for my own fun but like trying to learn other stuff. Honestly stared by learning how but make purse nets from a few UK guys back when I first discovered you tube. Just wire nets I put together from time to time The math becomes a pain at times but there something magical about it I absolutely love. If only peoel who see me do it would stop asking if I could knit a blanket or a hat 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
