ÜberFly Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Received my new Brodin net bag in today's mail... Anyone ever restring a net?! I guess I require 30# dacron, but only a few metres... Anyone have some kicking around?! Preferably dark green/black?! Thanks, Peter Quote
TerryH Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I've been making nets for a few years, so I have strung quite a few (woodworking is what I do when I'm not fishing or tying flies). The yarn I've been using is available at Michaels. It's not expensive and the one ball has done me for quite a few years. It's quite strong and I have never had a failure. Something I've found useful is to clamp the net bag in place prior to stringing it. This ensures the net bag is distributed evenly around the perimeter of the net. As I string my way around the frame, I remove the clamps from the stitched section. Good luck. Terry Quote
