WCIF Netting?

Post by bloomire » Sat Feb 25, 2017 1:43 pm

I've been looking around for this netting for a while, but I'm confused what it's called. If you have a link to where I could buy it or the name of the material, I would really appreciate it.
This is what I want: https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/sea ... tion=click

Crochet hemp net or fish net is what most use. Looks like you have pics of crocheted hemp net... Here are some of mine. I have 2 naturals and a green one. I prefer hemp net over the fish net because it's thicker and if crabbies get stuck, the net will break. Blueracerusa on eBay is where I got mine. She has a lot of colors to choose from but the sizes are limited (10g, 5g, and corner with ladder).

I use authentic fish net. I am close to the beach. I have never had a crab get caught in it. I have never had it break. It never molds. The crabs love it. This is similar: http://deltonaseashells.com/inc/sdetail/98183

You can get it at most craft stores :)

I bought this one, you get a lot, but have to stretch it out. I'd recommend boiling it too as it is used and stinks to high heaven. https://www.etsy.com/listing/189204139/ ... s_search_1
