| What's the best way to repair a couple holes in your net bag? I had a 34"ish fish push through a small hole and get stuck behind the gills a few weeks ago. Don't really want that happening again. Thanks!!! |

Location: Eau Claire, WI | Tim, you mean the plastic zip tie cable tie, right? If so, do you ever have problems w/ sharp edges when you cut off the excess? wondering if it nicks up your hands or the fish. I know I get scratched up when I have to dive into racks of network cabling.

| I sew mine up with a little 80 or 100lb. SpiderWire. I also learned that salmon nets have to big of holes in them for musky, I had exacltey what you had happen to many times - 35" fish pushing there heads through the holes and getting stuck. I got sick of constantly cutting up my net to get them out. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | I had a fish somehow cut one of the mesh twines of my Frabill. I sewed the ends back together w/ some Kevlar thread from my fly tying kit and it was good as new. So good in fact that I had some trouble re-locating the 'patch' to inspect it. I took some electrcian's tape and wrapped a little tag around the repair so I could keep an eye on it.
