maty j 6 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 There was a few vids on youtube showing the technique. I've got a A4 printout on throwing them, Will have a look for It. Think I scanned It so It should be on the PC..... somewhere. Found It.. Quote Link to post

springspan 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is it legal then to use these in the UK then ? do you need any licence to use them from the shore ? Know a few spots where one could come in handy but always thought they were illegal. Quote Link to post
Guest rexdigger Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 the net i have is 8ft across and suits me fine i could only get the bigger net to open that much anyway so no loss in diameter and you can use it in tight spots between trees oh and it just folds up and fits in my jacket pocket away from prying eyes Quote Link to post
Richie10 345 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Not illegal, but probably will soon. Freshwater you need permission from land owner. Quote Link to post
