I rigged this up over the weekend, around 45 yards fishing length and has a fishing depth of 20 foot ..

the netting is a single strand of monofilament with a mesh size of 2 1/8" by 150 meshes deep ..

the head rope is 6mm braided poly with a float set every 3 1/2 foot .. and the rigging twine is 1mm braid.

I would use a number 2 with the 3 lead line,, or why not rig onto a 6mm rope as there's buoyancy in the rope with a float around 8 or 9 foot apart,, be cheaper in the pocket ,, I rigged a few earlier in the year with 24" walls , 4" inner and wait for it !! in 3z :laugh: ,, top line walls rigged 15" apart with the bottom line walls rigged at 15 1/2" apart,, this rig shoots real nice and has good ground contact ,, might be worth a try if You haven't in the past ..

ive got a couple of nylon nets and feck me :blink: carry them back up the beach and you know about it!

i like flex on the trammels, i think its holds the walls better/open/fishing better than floats..and flexie line is hard to spot :thumbs:
