Rated 3 out of 5 by duckman25 spend a little more
This casting net is easy to throw and doesn't tangle the weights up. It also is very easy to roll up and unroll. The major problem is it's durrability. The second time I used it I threw it on a small 1" diamater stick and it put a hole in the net. My suggestion is spend a little more money and get a better quality casting net.

I have read some of the questions and replys....and they stuff does not apply to me so much..I do want to catch herringand smaller than 6 inch,so i assume that 1/4 inch mesh would be best and the 5 ft size...and made out of what,there is 2 different materiels that the make them out off and which is best is not to easy to determe if no one has experience with herring thank you
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
As long as the bait is bigger than 3 inches you can catch it. I have caught glass minnows about 2 inches long in this net but they will come through if smaller than about 3 inches. The length of the net does not matter as long as you can throw it.
A:
It is best to use the largest net that you can throw or afford. with smaller neets, you will have a lot of the lrger bait that will swim faster than the net sinks and will escape before that you can net them. I personally use 3/8 " mesh net to catch shad and alewives, with most beibng smaller than 6", but can also catch larger gizzard shad. 3/8" mesh will sink faster than 1/4" meshAnswers
A:
The smaller the net the easier it is to throw. I would suggest the 4' net. Once you have the hang of throwing a net you can throw any of them.A:
There's a learning curve with cast nets...no doubt about it. I started with a 3.5' net, practiced, and moved up from there. Once you jump up to 6' and larger, the throwing method changes. Depending on what you're trying to catch...you may want to start big (6'+) and get bigger as you get better. I spend most of my time in fresh water...just don't need a 10' net.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, it comes with a storage box however we have found its best to hang it rather than put it back in the storage box.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:
Yes these nets are great for finger mullet and the larger guys. We use it to catch the larger guys for cut bait. Works great.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.
