Quick take
A five-foot radius cast net with aluminum ring and lead sinkers designed for catching live bait fish, shrimp, and crabs.
This 5 ft radius cast net has 3/8-inch mesh, a size suited to baitfish over about 3 inches in water up to roughly 12 feet. It has an aluminum ring that helps it open and cast, a plastic-coated sinker line that sinks quickly, and a portable bag for carrying it to the water.
Best for
- Live bait capture for both saltwater and freshwater fishing
- Catching shrimp and crabs for personal use
- Anglers fishing from shore or shallows
Skip if
- You need a net for deep water; cast nets work best in shallows
- You fish in heavy current
Strengths
- Aluminum ring makes casting easier than hand-thrown nets
- Plastic-coated lead sinkers sink fast and don't rust
- 43-foot rope reaches deep water and far distance
Trade-offs
- 5-foot radius cast nets are heavy (4.85 lb) after wet casts
- Requires practice to throw properly
- Mesh can tangle if not dried before storage
