I used to have a book on how to net, and many years ago I made a few small nets. They make great shopping bags. The net shuttle is just a handy device to hold a nice quantity of string (or whatever you are making the net from) while you maneuver the string and tie the knots to make up the net. I made some shuttles out of plastic (like the sides of an empty antifreeze jug) similar to the ones shown in Carlos' link. The plastic wasn't stiff enough and they didn't work very well. I had better luck making them out of coat hanger wire, something like the attached dwg. Size is somewhat arbitrary, depending on the thickness of the string and the size of the mesh and the net dimensions.

NET SHUTTLE SET Shuttles are a required tool for net making and net repair. Shuttles are used to store and dispense the twine as it woven through the net and knots are tied. Shuttle size is determined by the size of twine you are using and the mesh size of your net.
