Nobby 65 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I like to use/make a 4 ft shaped net not to bothered about how much twine they take to make as i just make nets for my own use and they suit the ferreting i do .But saying that smaller size /shape nets will catch rabbits i just think you can cover more with a bigger net than a small.

pie-eater 377 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I only started making my own nets season before last so Im no expert. Started out making straight nets 3ft 6 long 15 meshes wide and they catch very well but I dont realy like that ammount of twine on the ring. my last 20 or so nets are 10 12 14 16 18 20 for 14 rows 18 16 14 12 10 4ft nets. A shaped net catches as well as a straight net as far as I can see. Quote Link to post
