you get the satisfaction that you caught rabbits with something you made I made myself a 25yd ish long net from spun poly and I prefer it over my 4z nylon that said I am starting a new long net with 0.75 see how it goes

Do you net at night?

Just intrested as seems like nobody is anymore

Netrigger, I was just sorting a order with Engels. I couldn’t decide whether to get 20/9 or 20/12 spun poly for the body of the net, most of what I’ve knit have been  20/9 double and they do the job perfectly but thought I’d give 20/12 a try... then you mentioned 0.25  braided nylon and my ears pricked up... does it come in a colour ? And what knot would you recommend ?. 

Only in white Mr. W,, plus you need to take care whilst adding a dye as it will shrink,, so select the mesh board size,, the 20/12  makes a nice net,, single strand, the 0.25mm needs a double knot,, not the shitty so called double knot,, Carrick whatever they call it,, single knot it then throw a hitch on top,,

Cheers,  20/12 it is. I think I’ll try a spool of 0.25  and if I get on with it I’ll be in touch for the dying process.

I used to do a lot night time netting but not as much as I would like now due to health issues

I couldn’t care less who made it as longs it works I’d rather catch with net somebody made right than one I’d made of lesser qualityI don’t build me own house or car or even furniture, fcuk there’s a battle every times wife buys chest drawers or wardrobe same as snares am trap, it take me decades to become as half as good as true net makers, no matter the material or length or height or anything, a web only as good as it knots, and there’s a lot knots to get job right, sack that I’ll leave it to the masters of the web, just like I’ll take me motor to a grease monkey
