Arry 21,009 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I said before I had never used or in fact never seen or held a Poke net. Anyway after some advice from you guys on here I got my mate to make some as my thumbs are fecked. We have been trying them out with much success. They are very useful as stop nets on top of a hedge and hold better than a ordinary purse net. I find them great for sectioning off hedges especially when using long nets. So thanks.

david jones 97 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I replaced all my nests which I had since I was a child about 7years ago, and was introduced to the poke nets off net rigger bill off here.He made me over hundred nets at the time, and a dozen or so poke nets to try. A great piece of equipment deadly in my opinion nothing gets out of a poke net when its set right. 1 Quote Link to post
Arry 21,009 Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Where they come into there own is on top of the hedge for us. Most of the hedges down here are 5 to 6 feet high 5 or 6 feet wide with brambles and black thorn on top. Commonly they have a really good run running down through the centre of the hedge, we break in cover that run with a Poke net with much better result that a Purse net. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post
