Multi-filament netting is a lot easier on your fingers than mono in my experience

Yeah I gill net.

Buy your own top line ( I like hollow braid ), floats, leadcore ( for bottom line ) and some twine. Maybe a fid and a couple net needles and hang them yourself. You’ll like it , the way you like to tinker. Most of what I hang is on the half, meaning your finished net is half the stretched specified length. I use nets for bunker ( menhaden ), striped bass, spot, bluefish, trout. Salt water

Wolfdog, what Jomibru means when he say "on the half" we call "hanging it even". Measure the stretched length of one and a half meshes, say it come to 8 inches. Then you would hang three meshes on an 8 inch spacing. Where I fish it is common to hang the leadline "out" a little maybe 8.25 inches. This causes the leadline to be a little more slack, it hangs better, and is a little more fishy.
