Answers
A:
If you have never thrown a net, it would be best to learn with a 4 footer. I use a 4 and a half foot net, which gets me all the shad, small perch, and ghost minnows I want. Note: ghost minnows require a 1/4 inch mesh, rather than the standard 3/8 inch mesh.Answers
A:
In most states, you would violate the law if you use a cast net to get bass or bream. If you do net bass or bream, it would be best to return them to the water immediately. In answer to your question, these nets will catch bass or bream, although they are designed to catch baitfish. I use them to get shad and ghost minnows
A:
Small bream may be possible, but bass would be pushing the envelope. Also, if using in public waters, be sure to check with your Conservation agent to check on legality of use of throw nets as well as other devices for fishing for game species.Answers
A:
Yes!Details:
probably finger mullet most of the time, but occasionally some of the big guys too.or are these nets not heavy enough?
Answers
A:
Not heavy enough for weight over 1/2 pound.Answers
Answers
A:
Yes. Most of them will by caught by the gills. The really large ones will be too large to have their heads slip through the mesh. When caught by the gills, it is best to pull them through the mesh. It will take quite awhile to clear your net if you get a large mess of minnowsA:
yesDetails:
how long is it and can you add extra rope for deep waterAnswers
A:
30' is goodA:
20 feet and yes you could add to itDetails:
There is a creek with ton of minnows in it that I know. The water is usually to cold to get in. Would this net work? The creek is only about 0-2 feet deep. If this net doesn't work, what would?Answers
A:
yes just look out for rocks

A:
it is good as long as you wont mind if your net geTs ripped a little. i would go with a minnow or crayfish trap depending on the size of the minnowA:
This net should help land a lot of minnows for you.A:
it would work to a degree. if the baitfish arent big enough they will slip through the holes in the net. i honestly think that you would be better off using a little butterfly net or something like thatA:
it depends on how big the minnows are and if there are rocks in there. the nets will rip easy if caught on rocks. go to bass pro or who ever sells these and look at the holes in the nets.Details:
also Would getting nylon or mono make a major difference?Answers
A:
1/4" would be better, but you might get away with 3/8".
A:
Depends on the pilchards’ size. 1/4” mesh is recommended for 1"-3” baitfish, and 3/8” mesh is recommended for 3"-6” baitfish. Mono or nylon won’t make much difference either way.
