Longnet set up

[smokey 0]

well lets face it I am being a thick , I am trying to connect a KP net with leaded line to Magnum fibre glass poles with gromets ,and getting in a right mess......I do the clove hitch like he recommends ,but the line being leaded is to thick to go in the grommets....is there an easier way of connecting these nets????.......

So glad to hear that i am not the only one with these problems, i rigged a net up a couple of weeks ago, first outing it all fell apart, , from now on i will just stick to buying my nets ready rigged from Gypo Joe off here.

Hi there Dumb F*ck the magnum grommets wont take a leaded line, no matter how hard or long you try to make it fit.

The only solution is to remove the bottom line and fit a standard one.

 

Personaly i dont see the need for a leaded line on a longnet anyway, i mean its not like we are flinging the things into the local rivers from the back of a boat and trauling the waterways, is it

 

Hope you solve your problematic leaded line drama and your net isnt destined to live out a lonley life in the back of the shed along with the chocolate fire guard...

with leaded line you have an inner and outer core. remover the outer core to expose the inner core, CAREFULLY CUT OFF THE LEAD BEADS LEAVING ONLY THE CORD. do this for about 6-8inchs and you then have enough cord to do your clove hitch

i was thinking the same MT just like you would strip some of the lead from leadcore for carp fishing

just like snakes skin that we use in carp fishing

smokey, Throw your bottom grommets away, slide a rubber ring onto your pole, form your clove hitch on the leaded line catching one selvedge loop in the middle of your clove hitch knot. Slide onto pole. Then take a screwdriver or similar and push down through the rubber ring on the clove hitch knot side.Stretch the rubber ring, twist it and pop it over the point of your pole. Use diluted washing up liquid on a sponge (or silicon spray) and push rubber ring and clove hitch down the pole.

If you send me a personel message with your address I'll send you some rubber rings and a dvd of how to rig a long net.
