rabbiter Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 hemp nets can rot if left damp/wet,ive stopped using nylon in favour of spun poly,even my stop/long nets are spun poly... DAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8gun Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 i was just thinking with hemp would they be less likeley to tangle round the rabbit as the nylon ones im using tend to cut into the rabbit and can be a right pain to get out of the net but ill look into the spun poly cheers cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hemp lay so much better than nylon imo but need after care for a long life, spun poly offer the weight of hemp and can take more abuse. Once either used you'll never go back to light nylon, bit more outlay but far superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbiter Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) if they dont tangle,they dont hold the rabbit,thats the point,but i see what you mean mate,i find spun poly better for knitting my nets,as it knots better,and doesnt slip,plus you can get some pretty colours ,most of mine are yellow or bright red...

The Essex Hunter Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 i have got nylon purse nets and i was just wondering what everybodys views were? as i am thinking of getting some hemp nets just to give them a try I would buy a good quality heavy weight purse net if I was you, All my long nets are 6oz and very strong. I have a mix of purse nets, however I tend to use the same ones from the top of the bag….and they are all heavy weight nets. Hemp will rot if you don’t dry them out! Just out of interest how many to you intend to buy? TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Don't use anything other than bright girly coloured thick spun nylon nets if you take friends ferreting who are colour blind/just blind and have a tendency to lose hemp and dark coloured nylon nets with casual abandon.

Actionpigeons Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hemp every time as they dont tangle, you must hang them up to dry after every outing or they will rot. have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Spun nylon nets every single day of the week. Best in bright colours as FM says, reds, yellows etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
