Nylon Purse Net Rings

[weasle 1,119]

Rings look alright to me,Might be a bit light though,Thats ok on open burys but when your trying to set one at arms lenght under a black thorn hedge i find a bit of weight in the ring helps.

I have some old nets here with nylon curtain rings on. They work just the same as any other ring. I was ferreting a lot of sand dunes at the time and the salt in the sand would rust the normal rings in a season so I tried the nylon ones. Worked just fine.

Funny you should say that about curtain rings i was talkin to a old fella the other day 73 years old been ferreting once a week on average since 13 years old , And he reckoned they used curtain rings years ago ,, The ground around were i go in aust are mainly sandy coastal areas ,, Still miss the places i went as a kid around derbyshire

 

Like has been said before you could tie nets with no rings at all ,, But its interesting as everybody has there own way of doin things

obtain some fence straining wire drill a small hole in a brush handle and insert the end of the wire, wrap the wire around the handle to form a spring, chop the rings off the spring with wire cutters, close and solder in a vice
