What do you prefer ?

What long net Z do you prefer and why?

 

We use a 6Z and it seams to work fine with us, just wondering why people like the 4Z or 12Z, have they got an advantage over the 6Z net,

Thanks

I have a 10z. It is heavy but very very very ice to set as no tangling at all. 12z would be far to thick for me and 4z is a budget option. Alot of old time netters i know though, swear by the 4z as they say its lighter, and catches rabbits easily and cheap at the same time. But these netters are very very experienced and probably never tangle nets.

How is the 10Z like when the rabbits hit it ?

I have never lost a rabbit out of it mate. Havent had it for long though but we have probably had well over rabbits hit and not bounce off. Quite heave though. I wouldnt want 100 yards of it

I dont mid carrying it, not sure wether to buy a 100yd 4Z or 6Z or 10Z lol

I would go for 6z mate. easy to handle and fairly light, but if you go in a golf buggie then get the 10z

i got 100 yard 6z its a nice net not really that heavy but mate has just bought a 4z 100 yard and to be honest i prefer his net its lighter and the rabbits tangle easier/quicker

I use 4z at the moment, it's pretty light and tangles well enough. That said if I could get a 3z net I would use that as a first option. The finer the net without losing strength the better it will catch.

A lot of it depends on where you are going to use the net, I have nets made out of 4z, 6z and 10z also hand made spun nylon and hand made hemp, and I use them all if I have a big job on, and they all catch with varying degrees of success,

Although my net of choice would have to be Hand Made.

4z for my longnets everytime, but of late been using stop nets more and more and for these I used some twine that I have had lying around for a long time very fine but really strong, its actually very much like the thread that used to be used on cricket bat handles and that works a treat its that fine I have put a luminous pink selvedge on the top to enable myself to see it
