All the sliders I've seen have all been home made from high tensile fence wire and there are several net makers that use these things regularly . It's a matter of sitting down and making a 'jig' so that each one is the same and manufacter is simplified or you can buy the adjusters for tent guide ropes which will do much the same job . I've never used these but from what I can understand it's easier to cast off onto a slider .

Out of interest, Whats a slider? - (You said it was in place of rings, would it slide down the string with the force of a rabbit and then hold shut? Sounds interesting, if I'm on the right track at all!) Any chance of a photograph? Thank you

Ive never seen a slider in action , but i would have to say why ? If it ain't broke why fix it ?

the french make them like that(with sliders) and call them "borse" (guess what "purse").

they work just like our poke net (double draw corded).

as i understand it the net is made square and gathered onto the slider when done.

i would not use high tensile wire as you will have trouble bending such short pieces,normal fence wire will do.

hello i am not an exspert but i have made a few nets with sliders on. I too use fence wire i made the jig by using 2 bolts in a peice of wood then bending the wire round then to form the slider.

 

Hope this helps
