Question

I am trying to rebuild the net on my handheld trout landing net. I want a type of twine that is not too abrasive to fish for releasing purposes. Can you suggest a type of cordage should I use?

Community Answer

Kingbird Fishing Twine, less than 4 mm diameter, is the main thread used for making hard fishing nets, which perfectly applies to weave mesh and sew or knot net fishing gear.

Community Answer

You will need two loaded shuttles or one shuttle and a ball of thread. Pinch the end of the ball thread with the pinched index finger and thumb.

It depends on the net's size as well your focus and speed. Figure on taking at least an hour. If you enjoy the process, it will seem like nothing!

Do I need a shuttle and card to make a handmade fishing net?

Alex mehr

Community Answer

Whether you need a shuttle and card depends on your specific needs. A shuttle is often used to weave the net, and a card might be needed for transactions related to purchasing materials. Assess your requirements to determine if these items are necessary.

Question

Will this work with biodegradable string?

Figlover12

Community Answer

Yes, it will, but the string might break down during storage or while catching a fish. It's best to use sturdy string and keep track of your net to avoid littering.

Question

Where can I get gauges and shuttles? Is this safe for my children to do?

Hanif Khan

Community Answer

Gauges and shuttles are available in stores or online. Net making is fun for kids with adult supervision. Use blunt needles, soft twine, round-tipped scissors, and no metal objects.
