I pegged with the old school,,, men in there 50,s, when I was 16,,,, they all used multi coloured nets to brake the nets out line up has some rabbits will run down the net,,,,,,, and all so put the nets a good 15 foot from the cover,,, the rabbits are still comeing in quick and not putting the brakes on,,,we used to all ways keep 1 peg spare, to tap your boot, welly ,,etc,, ive herd of drack lines being used but never done it,,,, 1 of the old boys went on to writeing a book the derby poacher, hits all about his life and longnetting,,,

might be better to hop in i dont know but i do find some hitting the net at speed not only get the head through the mesh but spin over the top line and get tangled a little more, them this makes it harder to get them out sometimes

 

im talking trad net as the quickset top line is usually higher

 

Smithie, do you angle your nets away from the oncoming rabbits? Most traditional netters do, and the reason for the angle is to allow more net to lay on the floor before the rabbits hit the wall of netting, thereby increasing the chances of the rabbits claws catching in the netting. Even when walked slow not every rabbit hops up to the net, but most do.

 

 

i always angle my pegs away from the rabbits and its not something i think about it has become the norm and how it just happens. i also dont normaly tail a net as most drops are the width of the field and the fields are small grass fields rather than a big crop field
