Failed After One Trip!The netting had several holes and tears after one trip. I was using this in a pond with no rocks, branches or snags. The baitfish I caught (smaller) were the culprits and caused the netting to rip. I could only imagine if I was using this on the river and was catching larger shad, skipjacks or mooneyes. If the netting was of better quality, this would be a winner. The weights, lead line, braille lines, horn and hand line are all fine, it's just the netting making the weak link. Had no issues throwing and getting a good circle. Maybe I did too well as I caught so much bait it ripped the net up. If BPS improves the netting I would buy it again. For now I'll go with a Betts Blue or Old Salt. Returned the next day at my local BPS without issue. As always, BPS has a great return policy.

Not Perfect, But It Does FineI'm no stranger to cast nets, I've used about every one out there and from the time deer season ends till the next one begins I'm fishing, almost exclusively for catfish and stripes. I have the 8' 3/8" mesh net here. It is a little slow to sink, I don't know why. Durability is only so-so, but if you buy the protection plan they will replace it within 2 years (lets be real, no cast net survives more than a year) so you can basically get 2 nets for the cost of one. I wish they made a 1/2" mesh model. I am surprised that this net is relatively tangle free and I've thrown it around 600 times since I bought it in March of this year. I like the net well enough, but some quality issues and slow sinking prevent a 5 star rating, but if you can throw a net, it will catch bait.

DissapointedI have lost a few nets recently netting shad in the morning. So, I purchased the bass pro name brand net this time and i have been disappointed with the purchase. It may be the technique I use, but the net does not fully open. Also, it seems to fall slowly compared to other nets in the past. I will be going back to what i normally use - so much for trying to save $30.

Very Good NetI bought this net for catching golden shiners in Florida for bass fishing. This net balances well, is relatively tough, and sinks quickly.

Here comes the baitI really enjoy the cast net. The 1/4" mesh is particularly better for smaller size bait fish. (A 3/8" mesh tends to "gill" the bait fish making it necessary to sometimes remove the fish individually by hand and normally killing the bait.) Throwing this diameter of a net takes no special skill at all. Thoroughly enjoy the purchase.

"DO NOT BUY"This net is advertised in the online description as 1lb of lead per foot. This is not the case, the net is one of those cheep cast nets with plastic coated weights (4x) the size of lead weights that does not sink or perform well. Same type of net you can buy at big box stores for much less (if that is the kind of product you want). I purchased the 6’ net on sale, thought I had a deal and discovered it didn’t have lead weights as described. I am waiting on a return label from BPS now. Other than the weights the net material looked ok, but the hand line was very cheap as well. You can buy a quality net for about the same amount of $ as this net costs.

5' 1/4" meshNot too bad of a cast net, its kinda small compared to my 9 ft one for mullet but it works for shiner minnows in the summer when i need to catch a lot in a short amount of time, spreads out nice if thrown hard enough. it is great to teach little kids to use being that it is light weight
I have read some of the questions and replys....and they stuff does not apply to me so much..I do want to catch herring
and 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
Asked by: fisker1
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.

which is the best diameter for a first timer, a 4', 6', 8' foot?
Asked by: jRoss
Depends on the thrower. For men, a 6' is about right for a first net. For women, I'd say 4' unless they are of athletic build or taller than average then a 6' as well. Remember throwing a cast net is about technique not power, but yo need to be able to comfortably lift and control the net.

Will this net work for larger fish?
for example bass and brim.
Asked by: GaryBertier55
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

does this come with a storage box?
Asked by: trippi
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.

Are these nets good for mullet?
probably finger mullet most of the time, but occasionally some of the big guys too.
or are these nets not heavy enough?
Asked by: CallsignWhat
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.
