Cast Net Reuse, Trash

A good way to reuse an old cast net that can no longer be repaired will just require a pair of scissors. After, you will get a lot of weights to use in the surf from it.

Cut the weights off the net and use them to construct slip-weight rigs, using a bead to prevent the weight from slipping over the swivel. This gives those parts of the net a little more life.

Una buena manera de reutilizar una atarraya vieja que ya no se puede reparar solo requerirá un par de tijeras. Después, obtendrás muchos pesos para usar en el surf.

Corte los pesos de la red y utilícelos para construir plataformas de peso deslizante, usando una cuenta para evitar que el peso se deslice sobre el eslabón giratorio. Esto le da a esas partes de la red un poco más de vida.
