theirishlad 7 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 im looking at buying a longnet for night time use only just wondering what is the best net wieght for this work is it 6z or 4z and would i better off getting a quick set or traditional thanks Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 most definatly a 4z as it tangles the bunnys better and i would go traditional as the basket is too bulky.. look on ebay theres a few for sale.. smithie Quote Link to post
andy mecca 5 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 make sure you get plenty of practice running out and picking up your net if you go the traditional way in the daylight, it will save you a lot of hassle. Quote Link to post
The one 8,472 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 A nice 4z will catch nearly everything but it will pick up loads of crap as well . Quote Link to post
theirishlad 7 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 thanks lads for the advise i have another question aswell for ye how much bagging do i need is 100% to much or would i be better off going for 50% Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 100% is a must for me.. you get some say 75%is ok but i wouldnt.. you will get bunnies bouncing of the net if theres not adaquate bagging Quote Link to post
The one 8,472 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Got to be 100% mate if your hoping to hold a few rabbits Quote Link to post
