They don't. Go to J & M
If you are going to the picnic, David Allison probably has some made up for sale.
I have one of his I believe, if he was the one making them last summer.
I'll have to run to J&M on the way home.
I'll be leaving after the picnic. If you can't find one before you get to the pier I'll "borrow you" (as Gomer Pyle would say) mine. Won't be needing one till September. If things haven't improved by then I may not even need one then!
Carl,
just use one of ours while you're there and then pick one up at J&M. He has assortment of different sizes.
What is a Ribbon Rig? What is it used to catch?
Top Gun also has them .
It is a miniature gillnet, it is loops of wire with a ribbon run thru them, it is used to catch baitfish, works very well also.
It's a strip of mono netting with a piece of red ribbon running down the center used for catching Scaled Sardines (LYs) to use for bait.Quote:

That's a beautiful display of net sizes for different size LY's.
Thank you! I have never heard of those. I definitely learned something new today.
Can you use them in the surf or just drop down off of the pier?
they are generally used vertically off the pier.Quote:
