BIGASH 2 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi all quick question do u hang ur pures nets when the season ends or do u keep them tied up in the bag as I keep mine in the shed hung up but I have been told it can rot them also iv bin told that keeping them tied up can rot them to what's ur opinions thanks Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 As long as they are properly dried they will not rot however you keep them, but they dry out better after use from being hung up, rather than bundled (where the middle often stays wet). Having said that, in the winter my nets are often going out soaked through. In fact for a while i was having to thaw them out to use every day. Quote Link to post
2bob 9 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 everytime you get in from ferreting an they wet hang them up to dry then put them back your bag it wont hurt if they wrapped up. Quote Link to post
