Making French Purse Nets

[hunterlass15 0]

I make purse nets for people and have been asked if it would be possible to make some french purse nets, does anyone know how they are made or has seen them? I've tried looking for any info online but had no such luck. If anyone has any idea, i'd really appreciate their input.

Met a guy out ferreting a few years ago with what he said were french purse nets, these were about four feet in length and two pegs instead of one on each end of the drawline only saw one rabbit bolt but the net worked with both rings travelling along the drawline to enmash the rabbit...hope this helps ATB Stones

(french ) or poke nets are handy if you have a couple in your bag as often there a larger net 5 feet plus but two pegs on every net your setting no thanks .

French purse nets.....we know them better as a bourse net, double pegged net or a poke net....there are regional differences as far as there names concerned and the way there produced but there really are nothing special,you will find some variations with the fitting of rings/sliders but it all comes down to personal prefrence,...have a look through the old posts,im sure youll find all the information your looking for....atb

Hi Hunterlass, the nets you're talking about are bourse nets(poke nets) they're just a variation on the theme . They're tied the same as conventional purse nets but are usually tied onto sliders and sometimes with two drawstrings

(which I prefer)as already mentioned the real advantage is on larger nets .

Sliders or rings it makes no real difference they both work as well as each other

I don't suppose anyone would have any pics of the setup in which the sliders/extra pegs and rings work or a website that they purchase or source them from at all? I'd really appreciate it.
