[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Richi; I've only just found this Post. Maybe I'm forty six then? What ever.

 

What, to you, Is a " Poke Net ", mate? I've been around ferreting for a year or two and simply never heard the term before. Purse nets, Stop nets, Bolt and Long nets, yes. Never before a Poke Net.

 

Please give us a quick description and I'm sure ye'll be offered all the " Poke Nets " ye can handle

[Guest Magwitch]

poke nets have a peg at each end and are sometimes on sliders instead of having rings at the ends :thumbs-up:

The Scottish Pokenet, A double pegged Purse net with Wire sliders instead of rings. Purses from both ends unlike the standard Pursnet.

 

Mate get your self some kit and stitch up a few. Its not hard its better than reading a book

The 'Double Ender' net is a useful tool.

Usually five foot or more long and ideal for covering large burrows.

They can also work well alongside the gates when taking hares out of the fields.

The hares will often stop at the gates and nip through smoots and smaller gaps and the big net will take them nicely. I prefer the meshes to be knotted onto 'sliders' as opposed to rings . The unique 'action of these nets is very fast and works well no matter how the rabbit/hare/fox hits em...

I like this type of web and always carry a handful in the bag, just in case...

All the best, CHALKWARREN...

If you can get hold of a copy of the Coney Catcher 1 it shows some guy using one I think.

 

Hope it works out for you.

Just buy a standard 4 foot long purse net and modify the cord to have a peg on each end. No need to get specially made nets. I find the ratio of one poke net for every 10 purse nets is about right.

[Guest Rabbiteer]

Have just made a Hemp Poke Net on sliders.

 

15 mesh's wide by 33 mesh's deep. Have used a continual draw cord and spliced each end in to each other.

 

All of the hemp joins are on the outside.

 

I am no expert as this is only the forth net I have made after being taught two weeks a go by Big Fish.

That looks just the job to me Rabbiteer; they are useful to have in the bottom of the net bag for the bigger holes where three holes converge on one exit or the caverns under tree roots you find sometimes.

Hopefully will get 4-5 out of a half kilo roll. It was hard working with the hemp at first but when I moved away from the slider it was great to handle.

 

Will try and christen it soon if Chalkwarren and big fish let me get it out of the bag.

 

Even though it can be single knotted I prefer to double knot it.

 

When my hands recover I will bang out some more.

[FERRETBOY 680]

what do you use tohold he sliders,the last time i knitted onto sliders it was very fidley.

 

good hunting
