longdog13 36 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hi All, I bought my first long net recently, , It's a 100yrd 6oz traditional net. Now, i've seen on the interweb both quick set and traditional. I like the look of the newer method, is it possible to convert the traditional? Never long netted before. Thanks LD13 Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 make sure when fitting poles that you put the "bag" of netting in, a 100yd net, should have 200yds of net on 100yds of line Quote Link to post
