didnt some just recently create a twin trawl net that had the metal weights before the net laid out in a corridor, someone commented that the left one needed lengthening to make it equal and they were going to scare the shrimp in the harbour. will have another look.

'Our lass II' and I believe "My build so far our lass variant" may help.  :-))

I don't know about materials, but Martin Holst posted some good pics on his Facebook page on
how his trawl nets are configured. Martin's Model Trawl Album
