Trev Smilerface 38 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 How many of you fella's make your own purse nets. I just been watching youtube and really fancy my chances at making a fair few for myself. Im looking at the spun poly....nice and bright and well hardy for all conditions. All i can get hold of over here in the local shop is bisley nets and there not a lot of cop. Even if it took me 4-5 hours when i start i reckon it'd be well worth it in the end. Quote Link to post
borntohunt 19 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 its deffinatly worth making your own, the spun poly is great for pursenets, id say get your self a needle, roll of cord, some rings and get cracking. you will soon get the hang of it. kev Quote Link to post
