Re: Replacement Barder-type net bags
I thought the current advice/best practice is to use the smallest size mesh possible to avoid split fins and other damage.

Re: Replacement Barder-type net bags
Absolutely - An issue when sourcing nets that need to be large and used primarily for Carp, Barbel & Tench.

You're quite right. The 1" mesh Edward uses is a sensible compromise. Any larger risks damage, and any smaller can be impossible to use in fast flows, where water pressure sweeps the net downstream. But as I said in my original post, that has all been discussed at length before. This is just about sourcing the mesh that has been selected.

Re: Replacement Barder-type net bags
Just to add something else to the mix.In the past Dinsmores sold a full size modern design Carp net, the sides of the bag having a mesh just up on half an inch and a kind of antique bronze colour which looks absolutely brilliant on a vintage frame. The gauge of the thread is spot on too, not too fine. I picked one up quite cheaply a few years ago and made two decent sized nets from it.
