Pretty good size oyster rip. Is there anywhere to take it repaired for cheap? Just bought the old salt net 40 bucks…

honestly even if you did get it repaired the price would prolly be close to the cost of a new one
It’s not hard to repair your own net if the netting is ripped, the big inside lines are a little more tricky. I use 20# mono and just stitch it back up. It’s not usually as pretty as new but it keeps shrimp/bait in the net. Give it a shot… worst you can do is REALLY have to buy a new net

I repair mine with mono too, 8 or 12# test since that’s what I mostly have around. It won’t open or close as good as new but is usable and lots cheaper than buying a new net. If I knew what I was doing, maybe I’d get better results but it works good enough.
i use that red mono to repair mine. it makes it much easier to see what you are doing. also, the red line i have is not good for anything else so might as well put it to use somehow.

Ive found that it is much easer to repair with yellow 15# powepro line. It easer to tie knots and easy to see put white towel over your knee lay out net and start sewing.
unwaxed floss
Amen on the floss, dentist always gives me that after a teeth cleaning session. It comes in a little pull out container just right for the tackle box or glove box. Have repaired many a net on the water with it…

red 12# line - then a drop of super glue on each knot when done. I put 145 stitches in a new 8’ net with it. Still throws fine - gives your net some character. Took about an hour.

Cinnamon flavor dental floss is red. My bait net has more floss on it than my mouth will see in a year.
