Goture American Fishing Cast Net, Casting Nets Freshwater Saltwater for Bait Fish Shrimp Trap 3ft/4ft/6ft/7ft/8ft/10ft/12ft Radius 1/4 3/8inch Mesh Size, Throw Fishing Castnet with Needle Shuttle

Some of my mono line pop lifting a heavy load of anchovies. But I’m gonna have to tie a line to line knot with some electrical tape to repair it or crimp with electrical tape. Net still functions I guess with heavy load anything is bound to break. I’m probably not going to use another 12 foot net and switch to the 10 foot. Because the amount of bait you catch with it is bound to damage your net. Literally took me and my buddy to hoist the net up. There were probably 40-50lbs of anchovies in the net. So for me 5/5 is fair enough given that I probably caught over $250 worth of bait and the net still functions.

i submitted a review before trying net cause i was mad that i received the wrong size net. Im still mad about that but after watching several videos on different techniques of throwing 8 ft radius nets and then practicing for couple hours I am very satisfied with the net quality. I filled 5 5gal buckets full of golden shiners with 4 throws. I would not have been able to get half that many with 10 throws using my 4ft. The 1/4 inch mesh helps tremendously i only lost about a dozen smaller minnows that got caught in the mesh all the other just slid out of net right into the buckets. If you are looking for a 1/4 inch mesh 8ft radius net buy this one. even though the specs say 4ft radius it is a full 8ft.

I use heavy 1.5 lb. per foot nets for getting deep open water baits in over +20 depths when the bait runs deep due to water conditions, but this net is not for that purpose, the material needs to be soaked first in fabric softner and water in 5 gallon bucket for over one day, rinse it off and it supple. This net is for shallow water bait near the surface, do not throw this net near structure like rocks, timber, stained water which you cannot see obstructions. This net is perfect for practicing since it is not heavy and the weights are not lead, which makes it faster to "load" when baits close to you and fast moving. Most people will not spend over $50 on a cast net and these people end up not being successful most of the time when they go fishing, plus if they are not willing to spend that type of money on a cast net then they will not put in the same effort to keep the bait alive. My advice about fishermen, the guy who has the "Wow" cast net usually is the one you would want to go fishing with.

Fast shipping Great price Haven’t used it yet but I will update my review when I get to use the net

My first cast net. I wish I had gotten the next size smaller as it takes some skill to throw and get to open up. It was a big hit at the beach and saved us from having to buy bait. It worked as it should every time I used it and had a good amount of weights on it.
