Just looking for a quality prawn net, the largest possible with chain weights. I am in the redlands but am willing to travel a bit to get a good one. I have searched previous threads and found that Stan is the net man. Just wondering if that is still the case? Any help appreciated.

Do another search BillyM I think you'll find the guy you are after is Pero. A mate of mine got a net of him a while ago and he loves it.
Cheers Axl
They are the same person. Go with the biggest net 12 foot and 7 kg of chain.Originally Posted by Axl
yep go see Stan (Pero) i now have 4 of his. I agree with Tim, get a nice and heavy 1- i think most of mine are up to 7/8kg

Thanks for the help I have spoken to Stan and should get a new net tomorrow.
Cheers
Make sure he gives you a few marks or a prawning guide. Gelt 30 foot of rope for the deep channels too.
Cheers, Timddo, I usually give 50 foot of line. Does this mean I can cut some off
Pero while ya there, whats the advantage of the full loop of chain up against the sinkers around the bottom??
The net doesnt tangle when I do a throw that lands across part of my handline, Wayno, and I do that from time to time. The lead net tangles. The chain slides off the handline. And The chain gathers better on the ocean floor as your pulling it up. And I guess if your worried about sink rate- The rope on the leadline adds more boyancy.IMO. But I do both, Wayno, Just, No one asks me for leadline. Thats coz guys like Timddo,Baydog,James,Woody etc... with chain throw so well with their nets.
I notice you didn,t mention me there stan.......oh that,s right, you,ve seen me throw a net, cheers royslaven
