thenetter 37 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hi there, yes you only need to single knot spun polly, but be warned if you dont make sure your knots tight, they can still slip. a t b paul 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,486 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) You can single knot most modern twines but is it worth it one slipped knot and your nets fecked and all your going to save is time and maybe a wee bit of twine Edited January 24, 2013 by The one 1 Quote Link to post
stinkers 102 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Right, did 2 rows with single knots and reverted back to double knotting. Gonna stick with doubles for the sake of a couple of minutes per net and minimum amount of twine used, rather me nets last than risk a slip. Cheers folks. 1 Quote Link to post
