Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Tying in the meshes will not help you to set out the net any better. And it does have it's disadvatages. Where it does help is in picking up the net, as you do not have to reset the bagging as with running slack. If you do tie the meshes in only tie on one line only. It does not matter if its the head line or the foot line and use a whip finsh knot to tie them in. It does help if you leave long ends on the whip finish and use two pliers to pull the knot so that it bites into the running line. When meshes run over it they then slide off just as easy with no snagging. TC Edited May 1, 2009 by tiercel Quote Link to post

TC no need to say anymore than the above well at least my new partner may belive me now when i show him these threads the guy that taught me long netting many moons ago always said there was never any real need to tie in the bagging so i never have and i (touch wood) have never bothered and not had any problems yet Quote Link to post
