hi mate the purse nets i got from that site are just the cheap ones , they are probely cheap woven nylon 2" but i only use cheap purse nets for ferreting as the rabbits are only in the net for a second or 2 , i have used expensive hemp nets before but didnt see much difference, as for the long nets i like the handmade hemp 2 quater mesh lines as me and my old friend walk and drive the rabbits into these, personally they hold the rabbits good , i am currently making a drop net , ive seen people use radio controll servos , but i am just making the old fashioned pin version the polls i made for this are currently at the powder coaters at the moment , when its finished i will post some pics .

JBS what ever you do dont buy there said to be hemp twine its jute!, if you are looking for long nets buy it in hanks and run your own top & bottoms lines yourself

Get hold of molecatcher/old longtail etc.

He's written a fantastic book on longnetting (Peg to Peg), and is one of the most talented net makers I've ever known.

I like to deal with people who actually use the products they sell or make. Martin is great guy to deal with, and really knows his stuff.

Here's his email address:

molecatcher@talktalk.net

His old website address is:

www.thenetloft.net

But don't try contacting him through his site as it's playing up (he's in the process of building a new one).
