good job! I just tie a figure 8 knot on the inside of my hook, no snell needed

How many days do you need to finish the net from the starting point?

If it's not too much trouble could I get a copy of your mathematical equations for figuring out mesh for hoop Nets? I would really really appreciate it thanks in advance

If it's not too much trouble could I get a copy of all those calculations you have here on this video? If I could get a copy I would really really appreciate it and thanks in advance Never mine I found it, and thank you so much

I don't think this dude hand sew this net. And the total amounts of knots this idiot mentioned is a crock of bull shit. Cry baby. Pussys ass cry baby

I've been wanting to know how a hoop net is made from the start to finish. Good video, but it's still Greek to me. But appreciate it.

I'm pretty new to trot lining and have made a number of dumb mistakes with how I went about rigging a line, but after watching your video I see now how easy it is to tie the beads in place as you do and I'm remaking both my trotlines right now! I don't use clips and do use double-line drops, and I really like how you made the cheater snells. I had mine as you showed originally but I've already done the cheater snell on all my drops as you demonstrate. Awesome! Thanks for the advice! Joe

This was a really helpful video. I couldn't understand hanging ratios from other sources. Thank you!

Could you do a video of tying the throats in from start to finish. That would be helpful.

You are good

Thanks

Too much gear. Let go see how asian fisherman do it.

Hay man how do you go about calculating your ties on a gill net ?

Are you going to do a video of tying the mesh onto the hoops? Great videos by the way

Hey man, great informative videos. I'm just now starting to research making hoop nets and your videos are perfect. Thanks! I know it's been a long time but the only thing I didnt see in your videos was making the actual throat. I know you mentioned being divisible by 6 and that would help take it down but any insight would be great. Also how big of an opening should the throat be an what shape?

Currently hanging a 50 fathom (300ft')net of 4 " mesh on a third that's 25 meshes deep (104 ") 8' 4") How far apart should the floats be so the net will sink and stand up?

What was the name of the place you said had the info on the build?

How do you go about cutting a sheet of webbing correctly so you can sew it together and make the tube for a hoop net,? I did it once but dnt for the life of me redo it ! The net I'm making right now needs 20 meshes to cover the frame ( it's a concrete remesh frames turtle net with a 6" stretched mesh ) so I figured if I'm trying it with the seamless method ( the way so the books show show when your adding a patch in a damged net) I need to cut it 19 meshes wide so she I sew it together I will basicll add a mesh and make it 20. Problem is I dint cut it correctly and I had to trim it and now I only have 19. Then I tried to practice by just cutting 8 meshes but when I sewed it up I need up with 9 meshes. Any advice ?

Awesome!!!! Thanks for the info!!!

Dude - you are the only one I have watched that dose make sents to me out of the thousands of videos long hair! I started learning in November and I can't I met now thank you very much! C. Woods Jefferson tx.

Good video man, very similar to how I make my nets. It's a dieing art. My grandfather taught me before he passed. It was how he made his living for 50+ years. What river are you running in?

Another great video ! Thanks for explaining the whole corkscrew deal! And interesting how you did your double salavage loading I always just pulled out a bunch of twine out and just doubled it lol. But this math definitely helps to get the most bang for your buck. As far as quality,honestly I think it's pretty good.much better than some other stuff I've seen. Now I do have a question. Is it possible to make your throats out of pre made webbing ? Edit : is their a good way to do it. Like working with three and four inch webbing ,it don't take too long to sew in a throat from scratch but say your making a small hoop or double throated wire framed net for something like bullhead catfish and your using like 1.75 stretch mesh. Seems like it would be pretty tedious to say the least to sew it all b to hand. It's their a good way to to cut throat out of a sheet ( I figure it would be kind of like making panels on a cast net )and sew it in ? Again awesome videos ! Been sharing them around so hope you get some more views !

man thank you so much for the videos ! especially the one you just did on the hanging ratios ! i got a buddy wanting me to fix some hoop nets for him and im really feeling confident now ! now i gotta say the one thing i cannot get my head around is how you get that cork screw effect. the whole jumping thing just doesn't make sense to me, well its hard for me to comprehend i guess would be a better term lol. like when im tying my throats or bodies i start off of one of those rings that you can open and close. tie my line to the ring with a half hitch and leave like a three foot tail. i tie my half meshes on the ring to the second to the last ( if i wanted 20 i would tie to 19) i then take the line coming off of my needle and the tail line i left and use those two lines to tie one mesh (its usually a little whooped sided but not by much) to give me my total number of meshes. i dont get a corksrew effect with this method but it gives me a straight even row. also the knot is at the bottom of the mesh so when i tie that onei just bump my mesh stick up to the knot and im right where i need to be to pick up on the next rows of meshes. after the first row or mesh and a half row i can undo the ring and thread the top row of half meshes on a piece of twine,usually just some #15. if you tie on the ring too long you can get a whopped sidded net.having it on a rope loop lets the even thing self even out from my experience.Not say your way doesn't work because its pretty obviously does just sharing my way lol. buy the way thanks for the shout out ! Also ! the whole mutiples of 6 thing takes alot of guess work out of how i tie my throats up figured out with a flat throat turtle trap with a 18 mesh start i can split the throat even in half so i have 9 on the top and bottom well i take that odd mesh on either end (so now i have 8 mesh on top and 8 on the bottom) and tie them static to the inside of the cage to stretch out the throat flat. then pick up the meshes with a doubles piece of #15 like you would rigging up a gill net to the float or lead line and tie them taut to the static lines . this gives me such a beautiful flat throat and very easy compared to my old method . i actually need to make a few more turtle traps since my old ones werent cared for properly while i was gone so they need to be replaced so i may do a video on the matter soon ! Thanks again !

hay man i gotta give you a little update. Man this math has made life so much easier tying these nets up ! now i dont have to have my head stuck all up inside one of my frames to sew up a throat just punch in a few numbers in the ole calculator and i can sew up a throat on the bench in a nice comfortable position then just mark the knot spacing on the frame with a sharpie and taper measure and just sew the throats in ! its so nice ! now i do have one more question. what you where showing was for a 50% ratio what would you do to calculate for say a 30% or 60% ratio ?

So how do you go about connecting the ends so the net is tubular? I've always left a few feet of tag on one end when I make my meshes. So when i come around I just pinch the two and do a double over hand and sinch knot up or down till give me the right size mesh.

Gonna do any videos on making the hoops them selves ?

I never use any expensive hooks or weights just because there are too many people who like to steal your set ups.

Still to come are videos on tying the throats and tying in the hoops in. Afterwards we look into tarring the net. We will eventually get into tying walls, wings, and leads.

Thank you Brother! Just starting out trotting. Great video great pace. Love and respect from Central Texas

Very good presentation...Hook'em & Cook'em

I have never commented about anybodys way of fishing or rigging up, but I think I will at this time. To start with, You are doing 90% of the same way I rig my lines. I like a double leader line , That allows me to change my hooks out, because one might be too large for the bait i'm using, or might be broke. Next, my main line is rigged a little different. I use a very heavy main line with swivels about 6 ft. apart because I like to keep my next fish in the water while i'm taking the one before . I tie two knots about an inch apart that my swivels can't slip over. They go around my main line like yours do. I use clips like you do. It's nice to be able to take all my hooks off of a throw line to deal with a large fish at hand. That helps from getting a hook in my hand, if the fish desides to go back to the bottom. There's a few things I do a little different, But, for the most part I'd say you are on the right track. Keep the good work up. ETex Johney

You should look into trotline box the best way in my opinion.

Brother please replay me back I want to know about cast net

Just use trotline brads, instead of all that bead and knot tying.

Please reply me

Brother how make extra mash

i have a question i started a net need help so i made 33 headers then 2 mesh rows so now the widener rows what do i need to do now im lost

so all your wideners goes down in a straight line on your net

if your only wanting an 8 ft net that's 4 ft . you take your length and multiple X2

What kind of fish do you catch with them

Great job on this video!!! A lot better then some other videos I have watched on this subject....

Hi Dalton, First, I would like to say your video is a great starting point for anyone trying to build their own nets. I watched your first video of starting the shuttle and making the first two rows of mesh. It makes total sense how you need to roll the shuttle to keep the line straight(I think everyone has to experience that once to understand). I understood the method of alternating left hand knots and right hand knots so that your line doesn't end up twisted and fighting you as you continue further into the knotting of the net. Your very good at explaining those "fundamental rules". Other KZbin videos I have watched have left out those key elements ;) Great job. I would love to see the part 3 video of how to continue on with connecting and expanding the number of mesh count as you go along the perimeter of the net. Also, how to continue using different shuttles of line since Im guessing you must run out of line eventually? Thanks in advance for your first two videos! Blake

How big did it end up?

Hi my name is Vladimir, I from Ukraine. Give advice in written form but I do not understand at the hearing. Coy should be weight at 10 feet

This was two years ago. Did you ever finish it? Your work looks really nice!

hey dude this is awesome i'd like to see how far it has come now! and btw i want to get into making cast nets and i was wondering if you can do a video on starting the net down to beginning the wideners. i cant exactly figure out how to start the net. if you did that it would be great

Given the strength to size ratio I would use braided fishing line. If you could run across a deal on a pound or so, I use fire line crystal on my rods and i have yet to break it. Gar don't even fray it. If your going to build a 12 foot net, I suggest using larger mesh. 1/2 inch goes VERY slow when you get to about 3 foot.

Ran across your post on a site thats pretty cool. I just got back from trying to find a large cast net, I want a 12' ish. I have a 6, thats been good for bait. But the prices of the large nets is ridiculous . So I am going to make one. Time to research!!!!!!!Also I want one tougher than store bought. In Fla. pulling up oyster clumps etc happens a lot. Rip rip rip....

I got my twine grime memphis net and twine. The next one I make will be out of braided fishing line. It's more expensive but it's half the size so there would be less drag allowing the net to fall faster. You could get a bulk spool from eBay cheap.
