Different nets

[spartan_ferret 6]

Hi to everyone

 

I havent been ferreting as long as some people so i dont know everything. But when I am out i use purse nets and i rencently brought a long net (a tradiontional one i think! It just one single net) So anyway to my point, Can someone put up some info and pics of the different kind of nets i.e purse nets, poke nets, stop nets, long net etc, etc ( saw someone asking about sliders on another post). So for people like me i have a better understanding what some people are chatting about and have a better knowledge.

 

Any help would be great

 

cheers guys

brought up with home made nets , double ended rings were either wodden sliders or old beer can rings , they were made or cotton or irish linen by poachers for poachers , you would get twenty five inside your inside jacket pocket ,now we move onwards braided nylon polyster etc man made brite rings sliders etc , but they are no better , plastics and non rust materail , and non rot materail is better , ,has made it so you dont dry you nets , a double ended net is more lethal in the [bANNED TEXT] hands , as alot of poachers never had dogs for fereting etc , now dogs are popular , you dont need to be as thura setting nets etc if you have handy dogs ,long nets to were handy same with alot of people bolted rabbs to shotguns etc, worse nets i hate are 4 6 z cheap things

a 25 yarder, not set up in a working situation, this is a quickset, I prefer the traditional with end pins for ferreting, i suppose its what you were brought up with. i was regulating it, and taping

A poke net, or in Scotland sometimes called a double pegger. you should always have four of these in your bag, very handy.

Never had one kick its way out of a poke net.

we never called the poke nets double ender s they were firret nets , made for poachers the shop nets were all brite coulors and one peg, the diffrence in nets for poaching small pins 6 inch long , they took no space up in your bag , lite all the nets you see on here nothing like original nets made of irish linen or nets from cotton mills ,and as for long net yoll not get much set there lol ,a good net made by guys years ago who were at the game are afar cry from nets you buy commercaly nowadays , they cost hardly a bean to make and caut well thats why they had two pegs as they were more lethal ,it was the shops in the seventies like , ernie follies feild and stream who came away with all the 4z nets 6 z years ago pure crap

ps all nets were double pegged using hazel or fence wire anything that slid in your bag and lite ,

,and as for long net yoll not get much set there

 

Whin, i knew you would spot that, i had just acquired this net, so i was having a look at it, and was regulating it, and tied in the running kill with tape. this was on a playing field next to my house.if yey were smert, you would have noticed the foot line is to high. :tongue2:

ive never seen one of these but id had a similar idea myself.do they use a peg instead of the bottom ring?

youll still cacth with foot line high on some rough land had m, plenty hares with foot line not tied to deck thery hit it at a rate we used to get a couple of old jackets or sacks make them look like people over escape routes , and chase them into net with lurcher and stick that was 83 , just kids but new the score ,i see plenty originals on here they all have same coulored nets of the same place
