Title: Suggestion on cast net for adult bunker?
Post by: Skunked on April 24, 2007, 07:59:48 PM
What is a good size net. What mesh size, what length, what weight per foot and brand name? I have a 10' radius small mesh for peanut bunker, but need a net for adult bunker. Did not see the post below. Where do you find the percy net to purchase one.

Percys number is 718-984-7383.  He sells the right net. I believe they are $200.  He will give you a lesson and spend hours with you.  I did  not by mine directly from him but we talked at a show a coulple of years back.  Really nice man.  If you want to order one a little cheaper.  Got to the casula/cracker website.  Cracker makes a 10 ft net with inch and a quarter mesh. ($120) Thats 2 1/2 stretch.  Also rumor ot them coming out with a 1 1/2 inch net. 

My opinoin 10' is to big for peanuts.  becomes a real pain and you kill more then you will ever need
