the pier bait shops are amost big enough to make 2 out of it, But David's are truly the best, he takes great pride in making them so they hang right and balanced and has multiple sizes of netting for those smaller ly's that some other netting won't catch(to big or to small) he has it down to a scienceQuote:

Once it's as long as you want, thread the ribbon through the loops and tie off at the top and bottom. Add a weight to the bottom and a swivel to the top and your ready to go. I made several in different lengths and loop sizes for the different bait sizes.
i have to agree with the people here, David makes the best nets. I use to have two of them a smaller one and a slightly larger one till I forgot to put my tackle bag on my truck, after a 15 hour marathon on the pier last may, I hope whoever found it gets as much use out of it as I did, guess I,ll be looking david up to get two more. you can buy other ribbons elsewhere but they want last as long as davids from my experience.
J&M has them in 2 sizes.
I will be on the pier Monday and would like to get a couple ribbon rigs. Anyone know how to contact David?
I'd suggest starting with Facebook.Quote:
