if you were wanting a few hundred meters i would have made em for you.....its one of the things i do to earn a crust..

 

 

 

2 and a half inch mackrel net 16 ft deep... lovely!

 

 

dont buy from advanced netting their to much and crap..imo nets should be hand rigged it makes a better net by far... and if you can go for multi mono its a much better killing net..and oddly i rate 3 and 3/4 mesh and 4 and 3/4 mesh about the best their is.. ime not a massive fan of 4 inch for some reason it dont seem to catch well for me..

 

i realy rate the 3 and 3/4 0.5 mm X8 multi if you can find it.. not much gets past that!

 

i could go on and on and on but wont lol

 

why not make your own?

i used to go to bridge port and gundry in whitby north yorkshire or john roberson on peterlee co durham also north sheilds fish key but they werent for bass ! i liked the muti mono type many strands to make one square if yer wanna call it that we used them for salmon the normal ones were to springy and ridid these were like silk with a meas size of 5-6 inches they used to wrap fish up proper they could gill salmon over 30lbs +

one thing I was wondering why is it when your stitching your net too the float line why is it you don't go over the top line on every mesh I see you go threw the meshs then attach every few meshs

thats a hanging ....diffrent nets for diffrent things have slightly diffrent size hangings ie; a 2 and a half inch mackerel net will have 9 inch hangings but my nets over 4 inch will have 14 inch hangings and a 12 inch skate net wil have upto 20 inch hangings...

 

the number of mesh in a hanging denotes what slack the net has in it (like a long net) most gill nets are set back to half so a 200m sheet will make a net of 100m... i like them a bit less thou i like some thing like a 85/90m net from a 200m sheet unless its a flat fish net then it can have upto 400m or net into 100m

and if you stiych every mesh to the float line it will take you a long time to make a net like days and days as their is about 1800 mesh per side of the net and that 1800 rolling hitches per net...on the salmon draft nets ive made i do 2 inch hangings and by god thats is a slow do!

but a draft net is a sein net and works by surrounding the fish not entangleing... so the bigger hangings will allow them to slip under the net...

 

3 vs 9 inch hangins......

 

 

the drop on a hangings is also important as the twine will shrink and needs a bit of room it also helps stop nets twisting up on the head line......
