I use the loomis for the start and main body, but a trad netting needle for tying off bottem ring when using a triangle.

 

The loomis generally holds more twine.

So you use 2 needles to knit one net? Are the loomis bulky ?

what gauge/weight does poly twine come in is it 4oz 6oz etc or is it done by diameter.

so why the need to finish with a traditional needle? I do 4'6" nets shaped 18 meshes wide with one 8" needle would a loomis hold that much twine?

When using a triangle for starting the net, which I sometimes do, then you need to leave a long length of twine to then tie on the ring.

 

I find it easier to use a trad needle to pick up this remaining amount, as I like to keep the loomis needles full.

 

I just find this works for me.

 

If I haven't left a long enough tale to pick up with a needle, then I too have to finish off by hand.

the add says it will hold double a tradition needle probably more like 50% more tbh good knows why if you can start on a ring with a full needle then why you carnt finish on an empty one but as ive said i always finish by hand

You've lost me mate. I still have twine left on my needle at the end of the net, but the triangle end then becomes the bottem ring end. The meshes get slipped off the triangle and a ring has to be attached. This is why the tail is left on.

your lost in a net say 9 15 9 or 3 foot 6 with a 2 1/4 mesh when you reduce down to 10 meshes i just pull off enough twine to put the ring on by hand

I don't know what you are getting at, what difference does it make. I learnt via agouti, and that is what I do. Unless you have patented or copyrighted your method its each to his own mate.
