wabbithunter_15 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Hello all at the minute im using CRAP shop bought nets for ferreting as i have up to january been going out with my mate who had the equipment. so i just used my ferrets in combination with his nets. So in Febuary i bought 10 nets out of a sport and tackle shop and went out near the end of march to try them out. These nets are really light and Sh1t!!!!!! and i mean the knots at the top where they join the ring broke within about 5 mins and the rings came off. i went to the tackle shop and got my money back. So at the minute im looking to buy Quality nets from other ferreters , ive had a look on ebay but i cant trust the pictures and il probably just be sent crap nets out again. so if you have any quality nets lying about il be happy to buy them from you. which type of purse nets would be "best" ie hemp, nylon, spun nylon. Any body tell me the pros and cons of each type of netting. Thanks in advance Danny Edited April 8, 2008 by wabbithunter_15 Quote Link to post

They have no pegs on mind but Im sure you could make some. I have no idea what they are like as I bought them to use them at the start of last season and ended up getting some hemp ones instead. Its Hemp all the way for me mind I must say They have their disadvantages ie they have to be dried out after every use or they will rot but IMO they are simply the best. I make my own now after watching rabbiteers vid on this section! jules. Quote Link to post

Thanks in advance Danny Hi Danny...I agree with Jules on this one...hemp is definitely the best but they take some looking after otherwise they quickly detiorate....so I use spun nylon...which looks very similar to hemp but is rot proof..and therefore cam be put away even when wet and forgotten until the next time.. The basic nylon ones stick to everything and tangle with everything..twigs bracken etc and they take some untangling..hemp and spun nylon do not suffer as much in this regard.. all the best mate Quote Link to post
Guest bigredbusa Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 i got some new nets off purpleliam off ebay , fantastic !! green with a yellow cord (which makes the net visable and not over the top like gay rainbow nets that some are using) Quote Link to post

wabbithunter_15 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 think i might have to buy some off ebay aswell they look good strong ones. that man must be making a fortune Quote Link to post
wabbithunter_15 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 whats the difference between 6z and 10 z is it the size of the mesh? Quote Link to post
rycalshaw 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 hi mate, i agree with pitindall 1978.the 10oz nylon are fantastic as you have the strength and wear of nylon,but with them being thick, you have the same workability of hemp........... Quote Link to post

auld salmon 28 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 whats the difference between 6z and 10 z is it the size of the mesh? 4 6 10 the higher the number the heavier the nylon is ! the ones in the shop would probably been 4z but useless with the nets crimped onto the ring better kniting the straight onto the ring try to make your own much more pleasure Quote Link to post
8shot 192 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 4 6 10z are the breaking strain of the net ie 4z =40lb breaking strain so 10z is a 100lb breaking strain imo go for the 10z nets since i got mine ill never use 4 or 6z unless i run our of 10zx nets Quote Link to post
Guest bigredbusa Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 i find 6z just right for me , but of course 10z would be better in the long run Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 make your own out of spun nylon or braided nylon what i use for munting my gill nets well better and it doesnt rot and doesnt need to be dried , hemp nets are fine and in the days when that was all you could get well they done the job but some of the soft nylon you get now is much better and will last a long time there a place calles d stuart nets they will sell it to you if you ring them and get some one to make them for you or learn you have al summer Quote Link to post
