coneykenny 98 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 well lads .back for more .my own net of 75 yrds is hung on hazel poles.there are 1inch rings attached to the bottom lines which easyly slide up and down the poles.hold up the bottom to the top line with a separate line usin the same knot as you would tying a shoelace knot.continue working back along the net until you have reached the end .make sure that the line is long enough that it can be reached away from the net.when you return to drop the net simply pull the line and each knot will unravel one after another.the net will drop .give it go sure 1 Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 i was thinking of using knots to tie mine up rather than to pull a pin but im sure if the knott will come undone easily when wet.. i think the water might make the knot grip forcing me to pull harder on the line.. im looking for a slick operation if i can i was talking about this very thing yesterday with mr wilks.. well lads .back for more .my own net of 75 yrds is hung on hazel poles.there are 1inch rings attached to the bottom lines which easyly slide up and down the poles.hold up the bottom to the top line with a separate line usin the same knot as you would tying a shoelace knot.continue working back along the net until you have reached the end .make sure that the line is long enough that it can be reached away from the net.when you return to drop the net simply pull the line and each knot will unravel one after another.the net will drop .give it go sure thanks for that Quote Link to post

Mr Wilkes 2,980 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks for the info coneykenny .. Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I have never tried one or seen one work . From the reports I have read of them the biggest factor is getting the rabbits to pass under it.
