It is a Memphis Net and twine 1/4 inch mesh. 4x8 feet. It will have to serve as a all purpose seine.Rigging your seine is almost a personal as your choice of wine. Tell us more about your net and what you want to do with it. What size is it (length X width)? What mesh size? Who made it?

I am setting up a new seine. I've two eight foot sturdy poles. Should I cut them down to six feet? The other question I have is how much weight should use. So far I've taken the weights from a 24' frabill and added them to this 8 footer. Do you think I should add some more? Any advice is appreciated thanks.

Six foot poles are plenty long, I'd probably go to five feet. As to weights, like Ed said, it depends on what you're planning to do with the net. I've put light chains on a net for use in a highflow stream, but even just a few extra lead weights clamped on the bottom line would have a good effect too.

Uland deserves credit for that, not I.Six foot poles are plenty long, I'd probably go to five feet. As to weights, like Ed said, it depends on what you're planning to do with the net.

I modeled my net after what I saw Skipjack do. I used electric cord bundlers to tie the net to the poles. It worked really well. They make a low-profile version of the bundlers, so you don't feel it so much when gripping the poles.
