Quick take
A 6 ft saltwater cast net with 3/8 in mesh for catching small to medium bait fish and shrimp.
This BASSDASH cast net is a round, six-foot, 3/8-inch mesh net built for catching live bait such as baitfish three inches or longer. It uses six-panel construction with weights sized at about a pound per foot of radius, a stainless steel swivel and a floating hand line with a padded cuff. A utility bucket comes along, which makes it a practical starting point for anglers gathering their own bait before a saltwater trip.
