Quick take
A cast net with 3/8 inch mesh and double lead line for catching bait fish on flats and in shallows.
This 3 ft radius round cast net has 3/8 inch mesh and zinc iron sinkers at about three quarters of a pound per foot of radius. It has a neoprene handle and wrist strap, and comes with a repair kit and utility box. It suits anglers throwing for bait fish, and rinsing with fresh water after saltwater use and drying it fully keeps it ready for the next trip.
