42" specimen nets

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Is there a simple way to put 42" nets together? I'm talking about the ones where the two arms go into a Y shaped "lock".

 

I had a quick go yesterday but am very worried about snapping one of the arms as it seems incredibly difficult to put it together, I guess there's an easy way to do it?

 

:huh:

Hi Dan,

The way I always do it is to screw the 'Y' piece onto my handle and stick it under my right arm, allowing the butt of the handle to rest on the ground behind me, then I insert one arm of the unrolled net into the lower joint of the Y.

Now I raise the net and press the arm down on the grass in front of me flexing it enough to insert the other net arm into the upper joint of the Y, ensuring at this stage both arms are fully engaged into the Y.

Finally I straighten up the arm ends to 'point' at each other so the cord isn't twisted, and there you go.

Our perception of time as an orderly sequence of regular ticks and tocks has no relevance here in the alternative dimension that is fishing....... C.Yates

Cheers Snotty, that helped for getting it in. I then couldn't get the bloomin' thing out...is it the same sort of process, but backwards as in pressing 1 arm into the ground and pulling as I tried this and failed miserably, must be the way I'm doing it?

 

Also, is it possible the 'Y' piece is too far apart? Can you get smaller ones?

 

Cheers, I feel like a reet fool :rolleyes:

Dan..take apart.... Grip the V in one hand,press one arm on the ground until it is bent sufficient to allow the other arm to be removed. Shouldn't break anything, I have been doing it for years, even with fish in the net.

HI Guys,

I do understand what the problem may be,one thing i have found is you have to make sure the net is not impeding the release of the arms,make sure the net is fully down against the Y block,if that makes sense.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.
