Quick take
A 5-foot cast net for catching live mullet, shrimp, and baitfish in both fresh and saltwater.
This five-foot cast net has a five-foot radius and 3/8-inch mesh, sized for shad and other baitfish four to six inches long. Its telescopic fiberglass handle and corded closure make it easy to carry to the water and gather in after a throw. It suits anglers who want to catch their own live bait before a day on the water.
