Memphis net. cheap too. about a buck a foot shipped.
1.5 inch mess if you want to coral them.{some get out} 1.75 inch if you don't want ANY to get away.
If you hit a school with a 100 foot net with 1.75 mesh, you are srcewed, you been warned

Ordered a net with Memphis today, 100' x 9' 1 3/4" mesh 94 bucks + shipping. Thats about 55 less than I spent on a 40' x 5' up here. Good call FF thanks for the info.

If that's the stretch measurement (1 3/4") thats way to small for pogies! 1 3/4 sq.= 3 1/2 stretch I believe. I would also recommend a heavy leadcore bottom, 1/2" foamcore top and no floats. Put your own floats on to meet the min. law requirement. Very easy to run your net out without floats and not as many tangles when pulling.

I was gonna go bigger, but someone up here who gills nets alot says he uses 13/4, and the i asked the people online what they recommend, and they said that is what they sell up here in the Northeast for bunker.

The rec net had 2" or 2 1/8" and I used to lose some every set.

Hey Spec. - Just took a look @ my Memphis catalog. 1 3/4" sq. is 3 1/2" stretched. You should be good to go. I do definately recommend the other things I mentioned if it's not to late! Less is best when it comes to weights and floats IMO.
