blando 0 Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 When the season for ferreting starts again I would like to give long netting a try as most of the places I ferret are tricky to purse net and I normally just bolt to my mates lurcher but we end up loosing so many. Were is the best place to get long nets from? And would u recommend the quickset or the traditional. Also what do you use as steaks surely thre are cheaper alternatives to the ones you can buy and how many will a need for a 25 ft net? Thanks all the best Quote Link to post
Guest sushie Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Quickset will be easier for a begginer!, For a 25yrd net i would use 4 or 5 pegs, there are various places you can buy nets but make sure you get one with plenty of bagging Quote Link to post
Guest RobW71 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Two 25yrd Quicksets, would be great for Ferreting This is my 100yrd Regards Rob Quote Link to post

Guest Bigbob Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 blanbo [bANNED TEXT] stick a post up asking if anybody near you would be prepared to show you how to run out a net either traditional or preset during the summer time ,then see which you prefer the ups and downs off both as to many guys buy a longnet run it once then leave it lieing in a shed [bANNED TEXT] Quote Link to post
