Anchor pins

[gollum 1]

Hi all, made my first long net (with sheet netting 4z) and all good except my anchor pins are a bit on the lame side.....

 

Has anyone got any suggestion for an off the shelf item that does the job well, my minds blank today.......been digging the Jill out again

Get in touch with Molecatcher, he can sort you out regarding End Pins...

firstly, molecatchers are the mutts nutts,

 

but, if you wanna make your own (cheap), heres how I did it,

 

buy 2 cheap rod rest's from the takle shop, cost 99p each

cut the rod rest bit off

i then bent in a vice a oblong ish handle with 8" of spike, a bit of old hose pipe, slit down centre and a hole for the spike, then slipped over the joins on the square, taped in place with electrical tape (stops net catching on it)

and finished, the oblong handle works great as the net cant pass over it, plus gives you a large handle when picking up, or pushing into earth

They're the ones you want, 2" rings are Harold Wymans choice, or bigger than your full mesh if you're new to it, especially for after dark. These pins will last for ever without looking after.
