[Rabbithunter 456]

Anyone MADE their own longnets? I was gonna make a 50 or 75 yard spun nylon, i got till about 18 foot and jacked in :11:

I used to make my own gill nets and they would be about 500 yds long but they would take about a month to complete, That was 10-15 years ago. I know making your own nets is cheaper but i just don't have the time or the inclination to do it

I would very much doubt making a net(all by hand )is cheaper than

rigging one with machine made sheet netting

500yd gill net in a month how many meshes deep

as you know a gill net has to be hung in so what length

do you knit it to be a 500yd net

Ithink he means adding the leadline and floatline to a machine-made sheet of mono

Do you think Trammel Nets have a place in a rabbit catcher armoury, or did you make the trammels for fish?

 

And why or why do would you make a nylon longnet? Fair play to you, i certainly couldnt be arsed, especially when a 200yard sheet of nylon netting doesnt cost very much

 

VD, still on 190, havent bothered with it today, had a busy day, worked 8-4, dog out soon as i got in, dropped the remainder of my ferret kits off for a lad, had my tea, took dog out again, seen a mate and talked for half an hour, then went out with another mate (see general talk, traffic cops)

Whats wrong with making nylon long nets by hand, Ive made a few double stranded 2z nets and a couple of 3z/2z stranded , they handel really well in the field, maybe Duckwing made similar nets out of nylon.

Keep at the net ive no doubt it will be a pleasure to work with.

[Rabbithunter 456]

netrigger, not saying theres anything wrong with it... fair play to you for sticking it out

 

i just couldnt be arsed

WELL LADS ,

 

AN OLD FELLA I LEARNED A BIT FROM ONCE SAID.............

 

" THE BEST WAY TO LEARN HOW TO HANDLE NETS IS TO MAKE THEM " ..............

 

THERES A LOT OF MEAT IN THEM WORDS

right lads. im now on 1380 rows. i only need another 320 rows to make one hundred yards of net. which will be rigged onto 2mm lines to make a 50 yard 10/9 spun nylon long net.

 

Its taken a bit of time, but i'm sure it will be well worth it.
