[quote SkunkedAgain]... really tear them up bad... The fop fin has a nasty bone that really goes rough on nets...[/quote]
That and snags and even just aging is the reason I would use fishing braid to make nets. I figure with the major investment in making a net being my time, I should spend a little money to use line that will make a net that will have greatly improved durability and last. That and my own designs are the reasons to make a custom net. I'm also going to make various folding lightweight traps using spring titanium wire for the frame to catch fish, minnows, crabs etcetera to fit in pockets of a preparedness backpack. Otherwise, I would just buy them.
I have a couple cast nets that I bought and haven't tried yet.
Perhaps I should bring them to our Willard Spring Flotilla for us to try casting nets or even practice making a circle with them on the grass. Contest? Do we dare with Utah contest police and red tape?
