How many meshs do you put in one of your 10ft nets? Ballpark

How many rows of mesh loops are usually on a 10ft net?

And if I may add, how does one do the math for the amount of wideners for a net? I'm of the idea there is a probably defined ratio that adds up the sum of the widers to have so that one makes a perfect round net.I am doing the 14 widener which also, as it happens again, is my first handmade cast net to have an idea to make after trying for a year and a half following other means o doing it. I have two others that I had made on a previous occasions to now until I was half-witted. I Love You guys!!! Kudos. And a good job well done.I hope you know where that comes from. And really I went into churh last sunday holy day. I had been away 5:24 having nothing in my hand to give as church offering and tithing and for chuch collection days (which is once every month) that is acceptable bedore the Church. I keep bare faith to have faith it's going to be a thing of the past, I will say. THANKS VERY MUCH.

Hi, Did get me a little drawn aback, the many knots I got when the twine was finished from the needle and I having to tie in a new one after wards from the another needle and rejoin from the one one the netting. I will have to improvise as with the video one. I am learning how to make the loop correctly and from now on whenever something comes up I reaally will make a point of asking you guys. Thanks.

Mr. Mike, good to see you my buddy. Take care .

I'm having trouble with the first to row slipping... Is the entire first row prone to slippage?

Do you have a link where I can find that color and size thread?

thanks so much for sharing your skills trying to build my own cast net your information is so valuable thanks for sharing your amazing skills 🙏

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Mike. I’m up in Fernandina and have been wanting to make a cast net for awhile. No time like the present, right? May God bless you!

I live in the panhandle of Florida and I’m learning how to make a bonded nylon Cassnet. Your videos have been extremely helpful and I would love to come and learn with you.

Mike reminds me so much of my Granddad...same teaching style, tenor, pace...man I appreciate you, MIke.

Muchas gracias.

I pray that then it will get the braille lines tucked in place very alright.

Hello, Mike and Phil. I am still working on my netting technique. There's no hint of finding any bonded nylon here I stuck to the only material at hand: that is normal twine. I have gotten around the problem of its uncurling when I pinch it with a scissor blades. I used to tie 2 knottings next to the place I needed on each side then I would cut inbetween them. I then decided on clear nail polish then I purchased a gas ligher to burn through the nylon preventing it from uncurling. And since the material is not dacron it has a tendency to do slipknots as I'm getting on the wideners. And for the widener I do three knots. One securing the mesh to the meshboard and one on each string of the mesh secured to the mesboard. Three instead of two knots at the expanders. I also do such three knots in sequence all around for the normal mesh..

Obrigadó!!

Minorcans stand up! Triay here, Sanders now though

Hi, I'm a freelance journalist looking for stories in the minorcan community, what you're doing should be shared by more people. How can I get in touch with you?

Good stuff. I grew up in Hawaii and one of my friends who is Hawaiian told me he story of how he got into casting a net for fishing and he said he thought his grandmother was going to give him a net when infact she either gave him a net to repair or had him make one from scratch. I don't recall. I will have to ask him again. Net fishing seems to be making somewhat of a come back there. I am on one of thier facebook pages. I have watched some of your videos and like them very much. You would fit in with old school Hawaii for sure. Is there any books you recommend?

In a 10ft cast net the first 14 row of widener how many rows do you have come down before you stop.

Why do you put 4 rows of knots without the widener at the end of the net? I have been making a bait net and it’s about 5’-5-1/2’ right now.

What would a 5 foot blue 1/4 mesh cast net cost or a 4 foot blue 1/4 mesh cast net cost?

Awesome

Mike sewing the world's best castnet.

Never would laugh at my buddy . I'll laugh with you... Your the best Mr.Mike !!! Very good video. Always a joy. Take Care Bud.

I did my first net and I had 13 wideners on the first widener row. I should've got it to 14 finding it was really throwing me off att my fifth widener row. I have put that one aside.. I also have started nitting another and to try have the first widener row with 14 wideners.

If anyone is interested in the electronic files, I'll sell them for $50 each. You would still need a blank mold and a machine shop with a CNC machine to make them.

I had 2 molds made, one for the shrimp net sinkers and one for the mullet net sinkers. I used the sample weights you sent me to have them made. They cost me quite a lot. I got the electronic files as well. The electronic files can be used in a CNC machine to remake the molds.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.

Mr Mike , It's always a joy to see your videos. Great job. Take care. Your bud JD.

How do you make the meshes without knots? I don't understand that. Do you twist the twine together? It looks like you use knots.

I have got my net about one foot in length and with great luck got the wideners all neatly in line. My wideners are now 5 meshes apart. I am doing the met with a 3/4 of an inch with an extra cm gauge. Following your invaluable advice I will get to a point of making my met. Thanks

could do with better lighting so we can see more clear ty

What is the dimensions and weight of your cast net sinkers?

Hello, I have gone over my seventh plain mesh row. I made a count of the wideners going about the first widener row. If I made a count through that eigth row of the wideners that would be and I was getting 13 wideners finishing with 3 plain meshes. Now does each widener row after the first 13 wideners row be started with one mesh and a widener after that?

I will get into watching the ones where there are wideneners

Hey, Mike and Phil. I am now at my seventh plain row and was it knots I could not tie or untie... How to tie the first 41 meshes was hard. I almost had 6 meshes and so much tied up together one after the other. I made expanders as well as meshes together on the 1st row.

What is the dimensions and weight of your sinkers?

Tim here. Thank you Mr. Mike and Phil for the RAPID response to my questions AGAIN. Going to work on making the right size needles now. I have this episode saved also. GREAT WORK!!!

Good to see you, Mike.

Sir,is there any used cast net to donate to Indonesia?It might save a poor family.

Sir,would you please donate some of your castnet to Indonesia?

It was getting the strain going arond to look for twine it is not very much in good supply. I could find a size 6 and 4 and not a 5. The sizes are not that well up in store. Also sinkers h are pricey no wonder how easy it becomes for one to make ones own sinkers..

I've watched almost all your videos they are very helpful information the only thing you really didn't cover is the string that goes down how do you keep it in line to where it doesn't affect

Mike I have a question that relates to size of twine. When I get 18, 15and 12 nylon will the 5 pound sinkers go to a different size maybe higher if there is one?
