Net Crafting

NetCraft has been around for a long, long time -- since 1941 -- and I remember seeing their catalogs when I was a kid.

In their words:

• Three generations of fishermen have come to Netcraft with their fishing tackle needs. With thousands of different components, materials, tools and accessories in stock, we are the largest source of fishing tackle components anywhere. Lure makers, fly tyers, rod builders and net makers worldwide know us as the source for hard-to-find parts.
• Serious fishermen know that we stock a wide selection of the newest, most innovative products in the sport fishing community. When you're looking for tackle that you've only heard about, look to Jann's Netcraft.

Tons of materials for building rods, making lures, and constructing nets and a lot of how-to information are packed into their site. They have everything from molds for casting lead sinkers to a DVD on trapping snapping turtles.

Their catalog is free.



Memphis Net and Twine is geared toward two different areas: sports that use nets, and fishing.

Their roots are in the fishing industry. "Memphis Net & Twine has custom made commercial fishing nets, sports nets, and nets for industrial applications since 1962. Our staff of skilled net makers have years of experience crafting nets by hand built to your custom specifications."

They carry a lot of varied items like commercial grade gill nets, fish and animal traps, deer repellents & netting, net making supplies, fish farming supplies and small boats.

On the other hand, they carry boots, bleachers, balls, and pitching machines, as well as fencing, flooring and storage racks, for golfers and most team sports.

They have the usual instructional materials and free catalogs.
