Make sure you're throwing it in sand or grassy areas, this can't take shell beds! It does like to cling to them though12-22-19 updateI've used the bait net all year fishing from my kayak, and throwing it from docks, boats, etc . . and it's held up very well with only a couple of holes from shell beds which I fixed. I've used it almost every time I've fished and I keep it in the tub on the back of my kayak. It's been all over Florida this year.I drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom of the tub so it can drain, and when I fish salt water I rinse it with a hose in the tub, let it drain then I spread it on the driveway to dry. I'm also going to add some foam to the sides of the tub in case it gets dumped from the kayak

once I learned how to throw it - bait became plentiful

The media could not be loaded. This is my initial review based on one trip using the cast net. I just used this for the first time down on the Texas coast trying to catch mullet. I was using it primarily in shallow water. I like the neoprene wrist band which is a step up from most cast nets I have used. It stays put and you don't have to worry about it coming off your wrist when you cast it. It was a little lighter than the other cast net I have and did not seem to open as good. I was still able to catch bait but not sure how it would work on a very windy day or deeper water. I would also like to have seen it come in some sort of plastic reusable case versus just in a box.

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.

The media could not be loaded. Casting net works well.Th weights on tue net is actually cool. Its like heavy plastic.I caught multiple fish in a single cast. Good for bait fish.The bucket can be useful. I put there the fish that i caught.Price of the net is reasonable. Good quality net.

One of the best net easy to handle and the weight is great

Net rotted after purchase in June 2021. Great holes showed up when I got it out of the box to practice for the spring fishing in march 2025. Just a slight pull and new holes came . Don’t buy if you want something that lasts more than 3 years.

Decent quality but hole size is 1/16th larger than 1/4, letting the greenbacks in my area to get suck, kills most of the fish and it becomes an absolute mess. Would work for larger fish but not ideal for bait fish a long the shore and piers.
