traditional net

[Snape]

I have a cane V-shaped net with 36" arms.
Does anyone know where I can buy the traditional (but knotless) type of net?

I would contact Jason White who does all the cane stuff, he seems to ba able to make frames to your requirements, so it follows that he could probably supply a net.

David Austin could probably help too.

Thanks Lawrence. Do you or anyone have contact details for them?

All the info is on the forum Snape, that's where I got my cane catapult from.

Snape, what it the thread size on landing nets, I am meeting a local Blacksmith today and I am sure he will ask.

I am actually just looking for the netting itself to replace the netting on the one I have.
It is a Walker style net.

Thank you so much

Any idea on thread size of banksticks?

Don't know where you found an M10 Bob, but all net heads, banksticks etc etc in the shop I worked in were indeed 3/8ths BSF and I've stuck a new Greys head onto a 60 year old cane handle before now.

It actually looked pretty good, matt pale green anodised frame in a pear shape with a 'traditional looking' knotless net seemed perfectly at home with the old cane.


Incidentally, there's a fair few people 'doing' cane handles these day from old rod butts. Sure they work and they look OK, but the original old handles must have been treated differently to a rod, they are very heavy indeed and they do not bend.

My Barder landing net handle is about 2" diameter. It is just a section of flame treated tonkin cane with pressed nodes.
It has no bend whatsoever. The cane handle that came with my Agguters Walker net is much thinner and has quite a bit of flex which I do not like so I use the Barder handle for both nets. Surprisingly it is not that heavy though.
