longdog13 36 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I was scanning through flea bay and found these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10x-new-high-vis-yellow-purse-nets_W0QQitemZ320476009075QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET?hash=item4a9ddbd273#ht_500wt_1182 . I'm thinking good idea, it's non reflective so i should think the hi vi wouldn't make a difference Still, i think ideal for those times when you're out at dusk after a hard dig? Does anyone use these? Regards LD13 Quote Link to post

longdog13 36 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 thats a pretty good price overall I've been looking around for brightly coloured nets but could only find these, I use green and red nets, also hemp and find that that all look pretty dark and earthy after a wet day out and can easily be overlooked at the end of the day, resulting in much eye strain Also, i have no net making abilities either Quote Link to post

The nets do lose their impact once they've had a few outings and been covered in mud though . If any one knows where I can buy pink spun nylon please let me know ! Or even if someone has a part spool they'll sell me . Edited January 20, 2010 by comanche Quote Link to post

Its pretty easy really and doesnt take long for them to start looking good. Plus once you know how you can make them any colour, shape or length you like and out of what twine you like, they work out a lot cheaper. ATB Paul. Quote Link to post
