Mr Wilkes 3,105 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Question for the trad netters.. you have one 50yrd trad longnet to take out, how many pegs would you need/take and why ?. ( no wrong answers on this one ). Quote Link to post
jok 3,397 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I think I was told years ago that a peg each 12 yards which would mean one at either end and three between. Is it something to do with th bag in the net ? Interesting question. Jok. Quote Link to post
jok 3,397 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thinking again, perhaps it was one every 6 paces/yards which would make more sense. Jok. Quote Link to post
Mr Wilkes 3,105 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 we All have our own way of doing things jok, just wondered how other trad netters went on 1 Quote Link to post
fred90 3,328 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 down to preferences. I like a peg around every 5 yards it keeps a good tight top line. always a few spare for uneven ground, and like to bant in with a peg slapping my boot. so I would take around 15 pegs. 3 Quote Link to post

smithie 2,444 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I take a pocket full no matter what nets I have. The pocket has elastic around the top to stop pegs getting a rattle on. The more pegs I have the better it works. Without a doubt I always have spare pegs. I have done enough trad netting you know there comes a point when you need extra. 3 Quote Link to post
Netmaker 911 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Every 5/6 yards which would be about 10 pegs if me memory serves me right Quote Link to post

I just find I can get more tension in my top line by pegging every 5 yards. Quote Link to post
Mr Wilkes 3,105 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I peg every 4 yrd Ive even pegged at 2yrd when I’ve had to., as long as you have 100% bag between pegs then it doesn’t matter. As for pegs , I always carry more than I need.. just in case. 1 Quote Link to post
