How to weave a fishing net from fishing line with your own hands

The net is not considered to be a sports tackle, but sometimes it is difficult to do without it, and many anglers use it with success, and many do not mind learning how to make it at home. Fishermen use nets during the permit of commercial fishing in the seas and rivers. The net is also used in regions where fish is a staple food. These are remote villages where fish are caught with nets even in winter. Naturally, in such cases, no one thinks about spinning or feeder fishing.

Necessary materials and tools

In order to link the network, special tools are needed. As a rule, the grids are different and differ in the width of the cells. It all depends on how big the fish is supposed to be caught. The size of the cells is formed by a bar, which is an integral part of the knitting tool. What is the width of the bar used, such and dimensions will have the cells of the fishing net.

The second part of the tool is a shuttle, which is not difficult to make yourself or, in extreme cases, to purchase in a store that sells fishing accessories. It should be noted right away that the bar and the shuttle are made for a certain size of the cells of the future network. A smaller shuttle can weave networks with large cells (but the bar must be of the appropriate size), but networks with smaller cells cannot, since the shuttle simply will not fit into a smaller cell than itself.

The shuttle is designed to wrap material around it and use it to tie knots. As a material, you can use a cord or monofilament fishing line. It is clear that a lot of material will be required for the manufacture of the net, and therefore the material will be required in reels. The thinner the fishing line, the more catchy the net is because such a net is hardly noticeable in the water. Color does not play the main role, since at a depth of 5 meters the fish does not distinguish colors. A fishing line net has a number of advantages over nets made from other materials. It does not rot, dries very quickly and is more durable. The knots that are used when knitting networks can be different. When using a fishing line, a double clew knot is used as a working material.

Watch the video on how to weave such knots:

For these purposes, the Uni Line (chameleon) fishing line of the Japanese company Momoi Fishing is widely used. This line has a unique coating that makes it virtually invisible in the water. Nets woven by “Chameleon” are more catchy.

Net canvases made of fishing line are called “doll” and are widely used in the national economy.

Shape and size

Networks come in various forms:

• Single wall. The simplest form and has top and bottom rebounds. These rebounds are attached to the veins, which are located on both sides of the net. The height of the vein is less than the network by 20 percent.
• Two- or three-walled. Networks that are complex in shape, which are called tangles. This is due to the fact that the fish in it gets entangled.

The length of the networks can also be different and can be from 20 meters or more in length. The height of the nets (for industrial fishing) ranges from 1,5-1,8 meters. Accordingly, the nets also have different cell sizes depending on the size and size of the fish:

• 20mm – for live bait and small-scale fishing;
• 27-32mm – for roach and perch;
• 40-50mm – for bream and crucian carp;
• 120-140mm – for trophy pike.

Landing

First, the main part of the network called del is woven. From these, taken separately, a large net is assembled, which, in turn, is fixed on a stronger base, which is used as a braided cord or strong rope. Such a technological operation is called “landing”. The fit could be 1:2, 1:3, or possibly 1:15. Delhi can be purchased at the store and at home “make a landing”, which, by the way, many do. At the moment, Finnish and Russian are considered the best deals.

In order to “land” the network on your own, you need to mark the cord and calculate which cells will need to be fixed at the marking points. For example, a net with 30mm cells should be attached every 16 centimeters. This is a 1:3 fit, which involves attaching every third cell every 16 centimeters. The technology is as follows:

• A shuttle is taken and a fishing line is fixed on it;
• The end of the fishing line from the shuttle is tied to the extreme cell, and this extreme cell is tied to the pick-up cord;
• Then the shuttle is threaded through the calculated number of cells;
• At the place of the mark on the cord, the cell is attached to the cord;
• Repeat the movements until all the cells are fixed on the cord.

In the video, how to fit and knit knots:

The net will not perform its functions if it is not equipped with weights and floats. Without these elements, the network will sink to the bottom and will lie there in the form of a shapeless and useless thing. As such elements, you can use special cords.

In this case, the design is somewhat simplified, and the time spent on this procedure is reduced.

Chinese networks

These cheap nets are very popular among fishermen. They do knit in China, which is not the case with Finnish chains, which are not always made in Finland. The cheapness of Chinese nets allows, in case of a hook, just leave it, and in case of damage, throw it away without regretting it at all. They come in various lengths, sometimes allowing you to block most of the reservoir. At the same time, they are not of good quality, as the Chinese save on everything. Questions come up very often. The Chinese can save on sinkers, and such a net is not able to sink into the water. Very often they use low-quality knots (simple), which are able to untie during fishing. Knowing this, many fishermen, when buying Chinese nets, correct them, eliminating imperfections, after which it can be used for fishing. The Chinese use ordinary white fishing line to weave their nets.

Twisted mesh

A very large contribution to the search for new materials for amateur and professional fishing was made by Japanese scientists who came up with a net made of twisted fishing line. Such canvases have unique qualities and are recognized all over the world. A fishing line twisted from several individual fibers is called a multi-monofilament thread. Such a thread can include from 3 to 12 separate, less thin threads. When buying such products, according to the inscription on the package, you can find out how many fibers are twisted into one thread. For example, if there is an inscription 0,17x3mm, then this indicates that 3 threads with a diameter of 0,17mm each are twisted into a single thread.

Twisted fishing line mesh has the following characteristics:

• Net fabrics have increased softness and elasticity;
• Inconspicuous in the water;
• UV and salt water resistant;
• For their knitting, a double knot is used;
• For their binding, a kapron thread is used.

The fishing net is a rather serious construction, which not everyone can weave and then “land”. But you can easily weave a net or net from a fishing line. For the landing net, a seamless “stocking” is knitted, which is then attached to a ring with a handle. Such a landing net is practically invisible in the water, and does not alert the fish when playing.

Weave a seamless net from which you can make a landing net, see the video:

Momoi Fishing is not only engaged in the manufacture of nets, but also produces other accessories for fishing, moreover, it uses hand knitting. Landing nets for playing fish of various sizes and designs are very popular among fishermen. All designs of this company are designed in such a way that they are easy to use, reliable and durable.

Any tackle can be knitted from the fishing line: nets, tops, etc. Their advantage is durability and lightness, and their invisibility in the water for fish makes them very catchy.
