An 8-foot round cast net with 3/8-inch mesh and lead weights for casting live bait in shallow saltwater.
The Betts Hi Tider is a round monofilament cast net with an 8-foot size and a 3/8-inch mesh opening. A lead weight line helps the net open and sink when thrown. It suits anglers who gather their own live bait such as shad or mullet from shallow water.

- Catching live shrimp and small mullet baitfish
- Saltwater fishing from dock, boat or shallow flats

Strengths
