Net mending - how to easily repair ferret long nets and nylon sea fishing nets tutorial

Well I remembered one 5 yard section of my ferreting long nets had a little damage where it had been chewed by a rabbit, so I decided to repair it and show you how it is done. Repairing nets isnt hard, just takes a little practice, and is very simple, only using sheet bend knots. Its exactly the same method to repair sea fishing nets, whether they are drift herring / mackerel, or anchored bass / turbot / skate / sole nets. It is better to make the new meshes slightly bigger than smaller than the original meshes, as a smaller mesh with distort the net, but a larger mesh wont. All you need is twine, scissors and a net needle, all basic, cheap tools.
