Just thought I woudl share this site as it took me a while to find a good source for heavy netting like this.

http://www.ahh.biz/products/nylon%20mesh%20fabric%20FHM006.htm

I'm slow though.. . . .. .. . .

PS-One yard goes a long way! I can use one small piece for about 10 lures before I trash it and have to vut another out. I guess I will be able to do 200-300 baits on one sq. yard of material.

I have been to Jo-Anne fabrics in Minneapolis. It is a LOT cheaper there in price and quality. The mesh they had there you will paint right through becasue it is so thin. The mesh in the above link is about 20x thicker. This would be the same material you would see on a beach bag or something like that.

I have a great source, but I had to e-mail them to see if they would give me the OK to post a link or their e-mail address.
I buy scraps from them in all different shapes and sizes that I've never found anywhere else.
I'll hear back from them next week, then I'll let you know.
Sorry for the suspense, but that's how they like it, and I'll do what they ask.

I got an e-mail from Karen, and she said to contact her at www.CollinsCottage.com and you can order a variety of sizes and styles of mesh from her. Great lady to do business with.

Treat her nice. She's a great lady, and never knew that there was a market for her products in the fishing industry until I talked to her a couple of years ago.
Great selection, big and small.

call me crazy (like you would be the first, HA), but the more paint that the netting gets, the more I like it!
