Re-Rigging A Sein Net

[perthshire keeper 1,239]

well the net makeing area is v quiet at the min so hears a bit of what ime doing at the min

its a 3 1/2inch 3z nylon sein net that i use for mullet and trout ponds when asked to, but it only had a number 2 lead line on it and i felt that was too light so haveing a lenth of no4 in the shed i decided to re rig it

the top is no4 the bottom no2 teice as heavy = better ground contact = more fish

i decide to rig it with 3 and a bit hangings but after 5 mins i decided it would take bloody weeks to finish and went back to 9 inch

3 1/2 inch hangings on 125m of net
the diffrence between the smaller and bigger hangings can be seen hear


this nylon is very thin and wispy dont you boys ever complain about 4z nets again!




ime about half way done wish me luck
