You must be thinking of something else. Ace is also a woven mesh just
like delta, not twisted and knotted. The delta net is definitely
stronger, but an ace mesh minnow seine of the dimensions Geoff ordered
will hold up fairly well for small stream seining, especially since it
has been greencoated.

Geoff, don't abuse it (e.g., don't always yank it free of snags), and
you should be able to get a couple seasons use depending on how many
miles you put on it. Small tears are easily fixed with needle & fishing
line.

Go to..

click on Small Mesh and you can see a picture of ace and delta mesh.
