Great hack. That's another to-do I can take care of during the winter. It's getting pretty cold up here now. Thanks for sharing.

Yep i do the same thing for years even repairing my landing net. Thank you for the video and Merry Christmas

Wow, I should have had a V-8. What a great and simple fix. Thanks.

Great hack! I’ve mended my share of those tearing them on jetty rocks. Dental floss works also. I’ve also found lots of ruined nets and reuse the weights for fishing jetties because you’re going to eventually lose them anyway. 😂 Thanks for sharing! God Bless

Great info as always . I’ve tore up a pile of castnets on oysters n rocks . Repaired em with mono , string , wire . Always put double lead weights on em make sink faster. Set the hook brother

Good idea on adding weight! Thanks

[@kevinsandells9933]

Never thought of that. Thanks

I don’t have a net. I’m just here for the fellowship.

Great hack. Working on road trucks, I mess with cable ties a lot. I dont know if anyone has suggested it or not, but I use a pair of flush cut nippers to trim the tag ends. Otherwise, those ends can be like a razor. I'd hate to count how many times my arms have been split open trying to reach in a tight spot and catch a tag end.

[@KayakhacksFishing]

Great point! Thanks!

[@dalec.1907]

Wow that was a really good hack

[@redwood1957]

Carful on that cut end they can be sharp and cut thank you

I repair my oyster ripped castnet until it looks oblong and uneven shape. I may try the zip ties on the lead line. Worried though the cut off sharp tag end will snag on the mesh. Very interesting hack.

[@KayakhacksFishing]

Another person suggested sanding down the small tag end. It was a great idea.

[@jaychino1621]

Can you share the size of zip tie and link to buy them? Thanks

[@KayakhacksFishing]

I used the small size. You can get them at any hardware store. I think I got mine at Harbor Freight.

Lol I wish I found this a few days ago. I’m repairing my 12 foot net that the lead line was half off. I spent 9 hours and I had a quarter left lol

[@brianmoffit2012]

Just make certain you file the ends smooth on those little buggers, they will lay you open if you aren’t careful.

[@KayakhacksFishing]

thanks!
