stockings

Ah, another one of those awkward items that you hate going to pick up 

[Matt]

Fishing requires a lot of awkward purchases.  A couple weeks ago, I bought another jar of nail polish for chironomids, I bought a pink feather boa once because it was a lifetime of pink marabou for $4, now womens' underwear.  Combine this interest with stuff you use to work on cars and you can add in a turkey baster (lazy-arsed way to change brake fluid), vaseline (prime oil pumps), latex gloves (CV boots) etc... I'd love to leave that stuff in my truck sometime when I'm giving a non-fishing, non-car friend a ride...

If in a jam 7-11 sells them

Go to canadian tire and buy game netting or game cheesecloth it is very tough unlike stocking and you can feel like a man when you buy them..

It is in the Hunting section..

It is the best i have found so far it is nice and soft too.
I think it is $5 bucks for a big bag.

I have always used old and have bought new stockings...but find it's damn expensive. I will check out the cheesecloth. See if it's better bang for the buck. But there is nothing like the end of the stockings (toes/feet) for roe balls..it's the easiest part to deal with. That's enough talk about stockings for me in a post.

I live in Abbotsford. You wouldn't believe the great colours and mesh style you can find in an East Indian fabric store. Samosas, butter chicken, and great peaches, reds, and oranges that have caught me springs, coho, chum, steelhead (Thompson, too!). Buy a yard, and give it a try!

I bought a lifetime supply from fabricland. They have a great selection in the number of colors and mesh sizes.

A common mistake people make is using Roe Bags that are too big.

[kodiak]

I get my mesh in the fabric section at wal-mart.

I agree. When I first got started that was my problem. I switched to slightly larger than golf ball sized roe bags and my success increased two fold.

Shoppers drug mart , ladys pantyhose is the best mesh out there imo
