SCRAMBLE

Coming on nice mate, had him out ferreting about 3 times. Take him on his own for a while, he is a steady pup, making a nice size also 22" at 7 months. The 4 pups that went local are all going well and have the natural hunting instinct in them, saw them myself.

Bob, i have carried the above basket up a very steep hill side no bother, the four nets will go round a decent sized warren,

you could have the large basket, then this one, and lastly a small moochers basket, which can take 2 10 yds or 3 five yarders, I sometime use this one when just out for a walk with the dog, one Jill, and half a dozen purse nets in the pocket.

 

much weight to carry. of the three, the large is the one I use least, I use it mostly to store my nets, and can swop various size nets into other baskets when needed.

I would say the above and the small moochers basket would be the most versitile, but good to have the biggy, when you need to use a lot of netting.

 

Ive got one of his large stainless baskets Jo, MIne house`s 25yrd and 50yrd of handmades, it prob would take another 25yd, nice and light though.. One of the baskets that take around 6 or 8 pegs for 3 or 4 stoppies is what I want, the only thing I`d change is the width of the slots. I`d have them a touch bigger, to take magnum pegs. I don't mind 10mm pegs on my long nets, but where I put my stoppies, I wouldn't want them falling over and getting in a mess, so I prefer the magnum ones.

 

Just a personal thing Bob but I cant see that I would want 12mm poles, the 10mm is sturdy enough, lighter and easier to push in the ground.

Ive got to agree with you there LC, 21 10mm poles weigh 3.15kg 21 x 12mm poles are 4.41KG that's equivalent to another 25 yard set net your carrying around.
