so many veribles to this question as to give a true answer. in truth if the net was rigged correctly and held up to the rabbts hitting it, it could for aguments sake hold 100% of the rabbits that ran into it. if your asking how many could it hold before it began to allow rabbits to escape, again depends how its rigged, is it sown in, how much bagging 50 or 100% bagging ect ect. Is there a maximum before it stops working? dont think there is but i have found nothing is ever set in stone regarding long nets. Like has ben said, a bit like asking how long is a piece of string but in my vi

opinions are all well and fine but what have they been based upon? If its so shit and full of wrong advise please inlighten me and the other members on here. To say its shit and then withdraw speaks of not realy having a leg to stand on. And if you are who i think you are, please give me a call as you have got my phone number. If i have it right, my lack of knowledge didnt stop you getting in touch with me when you wanted to know something did it? so again, please inlighten me, im all ears.

I looked at a friend's copy and thought what a pile of sh*t that it was, nothing new to what is already out there, save your money. Don't all jump on my back trying to defend your mate who wrote it, I am intitled to my opinion and my opinion I will give, after all this is a hunting forum where we can all air our views. Well Mr Daddy, you do have a right to air your views and air them you have but rather than go off like a spoilt little wild boy why not educate me to the reasons as to why its a pile of shit? Ok what i wrote has been said before but tell me, as to what depth did they

its widely excepted that you cut your pegs between October and Feb due to the lack of sap in the trees and bushes. However, and i may be told im wrong but here goes. I have cut pegs in all the months throughout the year and not had any problems with them spliting as long as you dont dry them out to quickly heres how i have done it for many years now after cuting early pegs 1, once cut to length DONT cut the little twigs back too short as when they dry they shrink back and if cut too short they will sit lowwer than the peg itself causing a weak spot. 2, add the point and round the

thats the thing with old gear and a big part of it for me, just the history and posible thought that maybe a record fishwas caught on them but went un-registered way back then. You never know as im sure they wernt as mad on weights and records back then. let us know how you get on with it all

realy? but i suppose it down to what has been written and what is shown in the pics SORRY ABOUT THAT MC DID'NT MEAN THAT IN A NEGATIVE WAY JUST ITS EASIER TO SEE WHATS HAPPENING ON A VIDEO AS LONG AS THEY ARE DOING THE JOB RIGHT LIKE YOU SAY ALL THE BEST ANDY like most things within the sports netman, theres good and bad and sadly i believe from what i have seen on you-tube its mostly been put out by those who havew a very basic knowledge of what it is they are showing. not all of course but most.

hello Fin, bit of advice on the bakerlite reel. give it a good clean and remove all oil and grease. add only a cople of drops of baby oil onthe pin, man do they run smooth after that as it realy coats the running surface well

Mick Brown done a video (yes a video not a dvd, thats how old it was) on night fishing for pike and zander on the fenn drains. To be honest it looks like a very productive method but like has been said before, strike early to avoid deep hooking. I myself have never night fished for pike but have caught many in the first hour of darkness

As some of you will know i have a bit of a thing for pike fishing with old kit and last year this included using an old bakerlite Allcock Areialite on a handmade English splitcane rod. Well the Allcock real was sold to Old trap collector early this year after i got hold of a lighter and possible (yet to be used) better made centre pin. This is the old bakerlite reel doing its job There was nothing wrong with this reel but i was lucky enough to come across a Hardy Bros reel at my local car boot, in fact the same car boot as i found the Areial. Sadly someone had painted the reel in a

ouch how did you get it stuck in you arm pit? sadly thats many longnetters realities of night time long netting. And yes adams you are right about using them whilst ferreting as to be honest i thnik you will find thats how many use their long nets and very efective it can be also. There are plenty of short films on you-tube showing folk using longnets during the day, but just be carefull you dont get taken in by some of the poor working habbits that many seem to have. If you search the longnetting section on here yyou will se theres loads of advice offered on all types of questions re

TC, im not so sure its anything to be bothered by. Your comments only refer to you licking a certain part of the human body, me, well i get called a certain part of the human body. ranging from a p**** to a c*** to a door handle, for those umouge us from up north who might call there door handles knobs i think thats what they meant. Oh then theres the internet warriors who wish to smash my face in and lets face it a few more whacks aint going to ruin my good looks, they went years ago. So TC dont be ashamed of the fact you have a fan, embrace it, enjoy it even. And on a personal level tr

better to be the king of the mods than the court Jester and make sure you dont leave your earing stuck up john huberys arse when you remove your head but regarding the Book, good for the novice ferreter, plenty of good photos and plenty of advice. A very well put together book and possible the best produced book on the market at the moment regarding ferreting. Would i say it was the best regarding content? possible not i as i found both his first and his second book held more info that the novice would do well to listen too.

be very carefull when buying poles unseen. they can sound like a good deal but turn out useless for your needs and in some cases dangerous as they can be brittle and splinter or shatter on use such as cane or bamboo. heres a pic of some finished hazle this is what their leaves look like and at this time of the year the bark has a dry leafy type over bark flaking away that rubs off with the hand. the stems are what we want for pole and normally grow in clusters growing upright and straight.
