AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Do u just go behind the one for a single not ?? Around the 2 strands only for a single knot...around 2 then 1 for double knot. be sure that the knot beds in correctly or you'll end up with a net full of sliders 1 Quote Link to post
jamesmc 582 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 single knots are fine,if they are done correctly......but i would double knot everything .....maybe take a wee bit longer,but then you know there is no chance of knots sliding at all.....atb... 1 Quote Link to post

nothernlite 18,080 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Do u just go behind the one for a single not ?? Around the 2 strands only for a single knot...around 2 then 1 for double knot. be sure that the knot beds in correctly or you'll end up with a net full of sliders alway thought a double knot was doing the 2 strands twice as in double knot no doing the 2 strands then one strand that would be one and a half knots would it not thats the way i was told Quote Link to post
The one 8,477 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 The way i do it is round the two strand pull it tight then back round separate the mesh and go in between or do it all in one go a Carrick bend ?. Quote Link to post
AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 A mate taught me the basics recently...he knits with hemp and single knots. I learned mostly from the guys on youtube. When double knotting they were going around 2 then 1 then tighten though i have been single knotting recently (last 50 or so nets)...works for me Quote Link to post

northwestferreting 1 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I wouldn't use the twine for your net kit till your comfortable about your knots just use garden twine or some cheapo stuff from the pound shop go to asda and buy a roll of their string,i can get 2 nets out of it at 3ft,thats how i learned,im 14 year old and just had an order for 30 nets Quote Link to post
