beany01 223 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 When I go netting in my boat, if i havent been for a long while my hands get sore hauling the nets in. If you do it regularly your hands will toughen up. Quote Link to post

hambone 950 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I used to use the tape they had in rugby (like a fabric plaster without the pad bit) on my finger joints if they started to cut in pulling the knots tight. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,484 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 read the title....thought it was about a folding hand saw...... which by the way is very handy to keep in your net bag....apart from the obviouse cutting branches or roots......I have dragged countless dead rabbits out of holes I cant reach with the saw..... 1 Quote Link to post

Arry 22,235 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 As well as a bramble try a hazel whip, just strip the bark off the thin end spin it till it locks. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post
