Gill Net Unpackaging
Unpackaging Steps:
- Do not use sharp objects to cut open the box – netting can easily be cut/damaged.
- Remove the plastic bag containing the nets and place with the knot/label pointing upwards.
- Untie or open bag near knot
- Locate top rope bundle and bottom rope bundle
- Separate top and bottom bundles – netting may appear twisted between bundled top and bottoms. Attempt to untwist BEFORE untying bundles.
- Untie bundles of top and bottom ropes
- Identify the top and bottom ropes ends (Tails) of the SAME side of net.
- Slowly pull tails of the same side together into your fish tote.
- Your net is ready to fish.

Sewn Construction
Advances in equipment and machinery have now allowed Duluth Nets to sew top and bottom ropes on all Delta style nettings. Sewing creates a tighter bond from mesh to rope, reducing the space between.
Small Mesh Nylon Netting
We stock several different sizes of small mesh nylon netting ranging in size from no-see um insect netting up to 1″. We carry several sizes in different strengths. All sizes are in square mesh.
Size not to scale.
Knotted vs. Knotless Netting
Netting comes with and without a knot at the twine intersections. Knotted netting tends to be stronger than knotless of the same size. Knotless netting is much less abrasive than knotted netting which may be viewed as being less harmful to fish.
Duluth Nets carries a large assortment of both nettings to best fit your needs.
Net Coating
Nylon netting is susceptible to degradation from ultraviolet rays produced by sunlight. We offer a water-based treatment that provides netting with an additional level of protection and durability against ultraviolet degradation. The treatment also has properties to prevent plant and algae grown on the netting.
Net coat can be applied to fishing and sporting nets. Our protective net coating comes in black.
Net treatment will extend the life of your fishing or sport netting significantly.
We also dye white netting a variety of colors including green, blue, brown, and black, however dye does not provide the same protection as net treatment.
Net Measurements
Netting can be measured in a variety of ways. The common methods are by square, bar, or stretch size. It is important to distinguish the difference when placing orders or discussing products. Square Mesh Measurement (same as Bar Size) – the actual size of the square mesh as it lays open or the distance between knots. Stretch Mesh Measurement – twice the length of square or bar measure. Length of 1 mesh when pulled tight and mesh is collapsed.
