mole catcher 1 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Crackin lookin net mate, Im going to give it a go. Chalkie, how do you find the 5ft poke nets close, I have a couple of 5ft purse nets, but dont think they are closing up too well. I think you will find that on larger nets(5ft) they will close a lot faster with 2 draw cords as with the poke net, that is why they came about. With the 2 draw cords and pegs when set the nets closing distance is halved compared with a single draw cord. On single draw cord purse nets it is good working practise to set the net with the draw cord tight with the peg being furthist away from the hole so that the tight draw cord will allow the net to start pursing as soon as the rabbit enters the net.

Guest Rabbiteer Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 33 meshes at 2" each is 66inches = 5ft 6" ( I think)! If you want one smaller it would be a honour to make one for the |Great Chalkie just as long as you leave my teddy alone........................... Quote Link to post
Guest Rabbiteer Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 what do you use tohold he sliders,the last time i knitted onto sliders it was very fidley. good hunting rew I made the sliders from my normal tealer wire on my snare jig as shown by woodga. Just do both ends. I then tie it it to my chimney at both ends so I can work freely in the middle, and when I turn it over it twisting the string and not the net. Will try and add some pics tonight. I file down any shape edges to prevent it catching at all. Quote Link to post

whin 463 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 years ago seventies and early eighties the miners i learned the ferreting game off all there nets were poke nets , made with spun cotton wire sliders and wire pegs double ended you could get twenty in a bag ideal for poaching, never saw many slip a net ,and i learned the art of stealth , there was a cotton mill localy and a net mill ,great days,ive never made many lately but not to hard for a keen netsman, ive saw nets made with the old rings of off old style beer cans plastic rings, no rings they all caught , it all depends how you set them .

Guest Rabbiteer Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Had a PM asking how I make the sliders. As I said, I am no expert and am willing to listen to any other methods. I have a video about Poke net making but am unable to watch it due to my 7yr old son having a tape stuck in the machine. This is Chalkwarrens net I am making, so im sticking the odd big mesh in to confuse him. Hope it helps any other newbies. Quote Link to post
