Fiberglass Poles Wanted

[Karl Daw 14]

Right before any one can make a valid comment about anything they have to know what they are talking about. To know what you are talking about you have to have been able to compare like for like. I will tell you now JBS nets knows as much about longnetting as my grandson. He uses the minimum acceptable quality to gain the maximum profit. To be honest his nets are shite.

 

He does not use enough poles on the nets, 8mm poles are unacceptable for a quick set net. FFS he only supplies 8 poles for a 50 yard net when there should be at least 11. 8mm poles bend like a fishing rod I know it's only 2 mm but it does make a differance. The problem is someone buys a net and they catch a few rabbits in the net and think they are fecking experts. When in truth the only thing they actually know is they have caught a few rabbits with some kit. They don't know why or how they caught them just that they have. They are happy with the results, but because they know no better they do not understand how a good piece of kit can make things easier/ better for them.

 

JBS sells nets, fact. Are there better nets out there than JBS? Without a doubt YES!

Personaly,..mostly working on Southern Downland,.with its geology comprising of dense chalk and flint,.I much prefer a thicker pole,.with a nice sharp point, and topped off with a comfortable end cap, to assist me in pushing the pole into the tightly compressed turf. I have used the thinner type poles with long nets,.and also hazel wands with my traditional webs,.. and obviously caught plenty of rabbits,..but there is no denying the fact, that locally,..it is far more comfortable day out, constantly pushing in,. dozens of thick 'uns,.......as opposed to the arrow -like,.. thin uns...

Those big end caps can make the task of laying a net allot less painful when the grounds hard compared to the thin ones Although thin ones are a touch lighter and good enough when the going is 'soft'.

Another factor with GRP poles is the ratio of glass to resin. I tried once to buy them commerically and was asked what they were for, when told what I wanted them for, I was asked if I wanted the cheaper version of them as they had less matting and more resin in thier make up. The way poles are made is chopped fibregass and resin is extruded from a machine by the manufacturer. Depending on the application for the poles the ratio of resin to glass is ajusted to suit.

I use one of LCs pole pushers, made from Aliminium, its light, fits in your pocket.

and pushes the pole with ease into any ground.

Leeview 2mm is not going to make any difference , they are good quality poles.

 

 

2mm does nt sound a lot but 2mm of 8mm is 25% which is a damn lot
