MikeTheDog 153 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Eighteen inches should do the trick Quote Link to post

bushart 1 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 i was thiking of starting off ferreting first just to get the hang of the net.cheers for you replys. Quote Link to post
philg 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Never bothered measuring my nets from the day I had them, I would imagine there around the 18-20 inch mark though :whistle: If they catch ok when your out daytime ferreting then leave them well alone, why is it everyone seems to be getting long nets sorted this time in the season Quote Link to post
mole catcher 1 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 my nets are set at about the 18-20inch mark aswell, seem to work fine allthough in longer grass i will raise them a little Quote Link to post
Guest The Big Fish Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Is that a handmade net there mole catcher? Just finished one myself, i is everso proud of it Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Big Fish, I like the look of your net with the different colour bands through it - will the rabbits head for the dark patches I wonder? OTC Quote Link to post
netrigger 568 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Is that a handmade net there mole catcher? Just finished one myself, i is everso proud of it Plenty of slack in that net of yours Mr. Fish.. Quote Link to post
Guest The Big Fish Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yea its double bagging, the length about 30 yards, so total netting made is around 60 yards. Carnt wait to try it out Quote Link to post
Guest Rabbiteer Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yea its double bagging, the length about 30 yards, so total netting made is around 60 yards. Carnt wait to try it out That green net on the poles looks pretty handy too! Lets hope you new net lasts as long................. Cheers for the tips on net making, am banging out a stop net as we speak/type......... Quote Link to post
Guest The Big Fish Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 The green net is yours, just as soon as i remove the poles. It must be 20 years old at the least, one of the originals Make sure your good at patching holes Quote Link to post
mole catcher 1 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 BIG FISH, yes that net in the pic is a hand made net, 100yrds long with a 100% bagging. back in december i put up a post ( keeping old skills alive) on how it was made to show those who fancied having a go at making one. Your right it is a great feeling to make and catch in a hand made net, keep it up and get started on that 100 yarder Quote Link to post
