Thanks for the replies, that is a very comprehensive site golloum. i reckon, with a bit of head scratching, i could do that. i dont have any actual net twine, can i use anything else or is that just false economy?

I would get in touch with advanced netting or the net loft and order some decent twine.

 

It is a bit of a head scratcher when you first try repairing, stick with it though....its a skill you will definitely require if you long net at night.

I just got back from a quick drop with a footline chewed through and I suspect a mesh or two gone too.

That's life Out with the needle tomorrow...

if the damage is really bad cut that whole section out and then relace the two sides back together you will lose a bit of the kill or bagging but it is quicker than trying to repair especially if you have'nt done this before. i am also an ex fisherman so i know you will be tearing your hair out at first like trapper says get a purse net and practice

all the best

Just had a look and there are three holes you could put your head through i think i will cut it and join it as it could take forever otherwise. its very strange, its never happened before and she often holds them in the net while im dealig with another or the ferrets. Could it be because the net was soaking, does that weaken them?

Not if it's a commercial nylon net, as they are made for use in the sea.
