Castration rings on quickset

[Sirius 1,391]

I have a few Brinded poles in the shed and have decided to use them for a quickset. All the nets I have made previously have been magnum poles using the grommets.

I was wondering what's the best way to use the castration rings to keep the net in place? Do you just wrap is around the net and pole twice, once the nets in position? Or is there a better way?

 

Cheers in advance Sirius

Put the ring on the peg, then tie your clove hitch and tighten. Then pull the band out, twist, and back over the peg, trapping your knot. Hope that makes sense. I think lifelongcumbrian done a bit of a tutorial on it.. Edited to say - This works on 10mm pegs, Ive not tried it with the 12mm magnum`s.

Cheers that makes sense, clove hitch and then just secure with the band

nae offence to anybody that uses this method, when i was looking to buy a net, i never heard of magnum an loads a folks told me to get castration bands an use em, i got some an tbh i though tthey was trampy as fook an were likely to go at anytime, so in end i chose the traditional nets an have never looked back, each to there own

Dont ye worry Reddawn I have 4 traditional nets, use them all the time, they are perfect for what I use them for, light to carry etc etc.

This build is just for a specific couple of places, where I need a very long quickset for a number of reasons, i planned to use all the bits I have in the shed to build it, such as the brinded poles.

i actually only got as far as getting the rings mate, i never even ordered the poles to see how they fitted or looked, i just didnae fancy the rings by looks a them, maybe ye could double them up or summat, or if its only for the odd place then will be a good job, atb with it

I've used the rings for years and they've worked lovely. I dont double them over as the stretching makes them perish but use two, one above and one below the clove hitch so they pinch the line together. Works for me anyway

Would work on 12mm poles, if the castration rings were a bit tight you can get black ones that are a little bigger and softer rubber.

One question about the castration rings. How long do they last because they are designed to perish, that's the whole point of them?
