how to pack away a long net

[jf1970 328]

sorry if this is a silly question,but here goes,there are a few vids on youtube showing how to set a long net but nothing on packing it away,do you just do the opposite,pole then pull net into bag or is there a way to do it to stop net tangling up when setting it again,im confused,i have never done it before and iam wanting to get into it next season.thanks atb

Pick it up on the end pins then hang it on the rafters in the garage on two nails and lay the end pins across these it lets it dry wont tangle up and everytime you pass you will pick some crap out it

Are you using a quick set or traditional net??

i am a beginner and only looking to purchase a long net for the start of next season

what would be easier and cheaper for me, i like the look of the traditional set up though,would 2 100yrd nets be to much for me to begin with,the burrows i would be ferreting are along ditches and there is way to many holes for purse nets 40-50 holes either side most of them in thorn bushes.atb

Personally I would not go for 2x100 yard nets. But break it down into more useful sizes something like 1x50 4x25 5x10 yard nets same total of net, that will cover almost any situation you would come across during a days ferreting.

yeah tiercel that would make more sense to break it down,i never thought of that,thanks,would you say 6z net would be adequate,i can get loads of hazel poles round my way,so would it just be the net and cord i would be looking for?oh i have just ordered LONGNETTING FROM PEG TO PEG.ATB

I would not use 6z although a lot of people do and are happy with them. I would go for 4z the idea of the net is to tangle rabbits, the finer the net the lighter it is, and the easier it tangles rabbits.

 

Once you read Martins book your first question will be answered also.

i have some 4z purse nets and they are a real trying to untangle ,dont want same problem with long net,thinking maybe 6z would improve tangling a bit.

[Tiercel 6,986]

To be honest you have to be some kind of idiot to tangle a long net. I would not use a 4z purse net even for a bet, the same goes for a 6z long net, they are both useless. The 4z is too light for a purse net and the 6z is too heavy for a long net.

 

Just trying to give you some sound advice.
