Raschel is a very soft nylon knitted netting that has applications where minimising potential damage or injury to your catch is paramount. Typical uses of raschel are for the capture of small reef fish, bait fish and aquarium fish. It's a very soft multi-nylon. Previously, it was widely used for commercial beach fishing, but is now largely obsolete. We do still have limited stocks available.
- Very strong
- 4- 90 ply

PE Netting is used for a wide range of general applications including sports and recreational cargo nets. It is a hard twist twine that is tough, hardwearing and UV stable. Available in a variety of mesh sizes, in 4-75 ply.
