Kay 3,709 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does anyone make hazel ferret net pegs? I have never used wood pegs have used both metal & plastic , must admit the plastic ones were more sturdy that i expected Quote Link to post
ianrob 2 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does anyone make hazel ferret net pegs? Personally, I use ash, or if I have access to the facilities, I make pegs out of any hardwood, fashioned like the ones you can buy. Hazel pegs could be made in two minutes though , simply by pointing one end and putting in a notch to grip the tying on of the cords. Quote Link to post

kreet 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 do you have to cure the hazel before you make it into pegs or a stick ? Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 do you have to cure the hazel before you make it into pegs or a stick ? No. Cut the hazel into 6" lengths thick as your finger, point one end drill hole tother end...done! Quote Link to post

will.f11 24 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 KP&S nets in the countrymans weekly sell them at about 3 quid for 10 hazel pegs. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,050 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 cut in winter, they will be dry enough to work with in the summer, i do a little more than most, drill hole point one end, and sand down , i also sand over the top so its smoth, also i make a long point on them . and its all sanded and i splice the lines after i thread them through, so theres no knots Quote Link to post
