You can't put good quality and cheaper in the same sentence mate Agouti,s got good gear and you get what you pay for , Fire in spun nylon into sporting goods on ebay to see what I mean

SR, you need to save up your pennies and buy from engles....... far superior stuff than what you are used to..

If you want twine for long nets, then as said above the gear from Germany is second to none.

 

If you are looking for purse net twine, although I haven't bought any for a long time I seem to remember Agouti being a very good price. And the quality is fine. Mr Goodcat.

8z is 210/24 and 10z is 210/30.

210 Is the thickness of the strands that make up the twine. the 24 after it denotes how many strands of 210 denier make up the twine. 210/12 is 12 strands of 210 denier = 4z 6z =210/18.

 

That is simple enough to understand. but when it come to different twines they are measured differently. Some are measured by weight some are measured by length. There is a link on here somewhere that tells you how different twines are measured. Nearly every type of twine has it's own code for measurement. For spun polyester it is measured as 20 as the constant, what the 20 means I could not tell you sorry but a long net twine is around the 20/10 and a purse net twine is around the 20/16.

 

Netrigger is the twine expert, he will be able to tell you far more than I can.

thread is often measured by something called ''Cotton Count'' which means how many 840 yard hanks (one hank equals 840 yards) you get from one pound of thread, with this unit of measure the '20' refers to the threads linear density, in other words it refers to wether it is a fine or coarse thread, the higher the number the finer the yarn, 1-20 is classed as coarse whereas 20-40 for example is much finer, as an example you would get 8,400 yards from one pound of thread classed as size '10' (coarse) or 84,000 yards from one pound of thread in size '100' (extremely fine). Anyone interested just google ''Cotton Count'' for threads.

 

edited just to add to clarify, 'cotton count' is used for many materials like polyester not just cotton, it is just the term for a measurement.

This is the link that I put up previously. It tells all you need to know.
