Quick take
A handmade copolymer cast net with heavy zinc sinkers that sinks quickly and keeps baitfish contained without tangles.
This is a 3-foot-radius nylon cast net with a 3/8 inch mesh opening, sized for catching baitfish in fresh or salt water. A zinc sinker ring pulls the net down as it settles, and a collapsible shrimp cage comes along with it. The compact size suits anglers who want to gather their own bait from a shoreline, dock or small boat.
Best for
- Seining shiners and other small forage in rivers and lakes
- Catching fresh live bait for catfish and bass
- Saltwater mullet nets and small fish in estuaries
Skip if
- You have no place to cast and retrieve (shore or boat needed)
- You fish private ponds without permission for seining
Strengths
- Tight 3/8 inch mesh holds small shiners and keeps them from escaping
- Heavy zinc sinkers provide a faster sink than alternatives
- Copolymer line is invisible to fish and less prone to rot
Trade-offs
- Learning to throw a cast net takes practice; expect tangled throws initially
- Must clean and dry net after use in saltwater to prevent degradation
- Large radius nets are heavy and exhausting to throw repeatedly

- Crab & shrimp
