Coatesy900 0 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I have done a search on google, but all I can find is stuff about wallace and gromit. I was hoping somebody could provide me with a description (and hopefully a picture) of what a grommit is. Also, what are end-pins? Really interested in getting myself a longnet, but know f*ck all about them. Once ive got all the equipment Ishould pick up the technique fast enough Cheers Quote Link to post

will.f11 24 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 mate, if you are after a traditional net, i dont know much but can tell you what those 2 are, on a traditional you have hazel poles (or fiberglass) usually 5 yard apart. On each end, to keep everything tight, you have 2 metal end pins, this is kind of a gian washer on a strong metal pole, not very long. You can also collect your net on this. The grommits, as far as I know are for the quickset nets. These are usualy a rubber type ring, which goes tight on the pole fixing the top and bottom line in place, stopping it from slipping or sliding. I dont personally know anyone which uses grommits on a Trad net as usually a hazel pole with lines on tight will keep it all fairly tight. although on un-grommited fiberglass poles a bit of masking/electrical tape stops any sliding. Hope this helps, but if you want to know expert advise, PM and speak to Molecatcher. Quote Link to post
will.f11 24 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) adding to that, below the longnetting section on the main page, there is a link to magnums traps. Go on the longnetting and i think it has a diagram of a grommit http://www.magnumtrap.com/longnet-instructions.html Edited November 16, 2008 by will.f11 Quote Link to post
