Questions about Frabill Seine Net 4'X20' Poly Black Net, One Size

What is the spacing of the weights?

Answer: I am not sure because I added a bunch of weights to keep it tight to the bottom. Where I use it I was having trouble with the minnows getting out of the bottom.

Answer: You will need more weights

Answer: I can't recommend this product. The weights are not lead and are not heavy enough to maintain bottom contact. Bait simply swims out under the net. There's are other manufacturers offering a more effective product

Answer: They are around 18" apart

Answer: 18"

Does this net come with poles? If not, is there a recommended approach?

Answer: It does not come with the poles, I used 6 foot 1/2 PVC tube and placed caps on both ends. Also, the weights are not heavy enough to hold to the bottom. Additional weights will have to be placed to be sure bottom of seine net is on the ocean floor

Answer: It does not come with poles. I use 6' long pieces of bamboo because it's readily available where I live, light weight and strong. 6' saplings would work equally well.

Answer: It does not, I use broom sticks with a hole drilled in the bottom so the net does not slip up.

Answer: No no poles

Answer: It does not. It has tie strings at the corners which I used to fix two sturdy wooden sticks. They serve the purpose well and have been very durable. The net is a lot of fun and after several years is still intact.

Answer: It does not..i made my own out of small china berry trees

Is this net really the listed size? or is it smaller as some have said?

Answer: I've used it for years and the 4x20 size seems accurate.

Answer: The size is correct. But I recommend getting a bigger one. Good for kids. Needs more weights.

Answer: I am not sure I didn't measure it, it didn't seem small.

Answer: Smaller.about 16 feet

Is this net legal in the State of Florida?

Can you attach two nets together to make it longer?

Answer: I made a frame out of 3/4 inch pvc and threaded twine through the net and around the pipe. Yes you can attach two nets together. I would weave twine through the ends. but you could also use tie wraps or velcro strips.

Answer: Yes.. I used zip ties and made my 3 seines into a trawl. Like a shrimp net.

Answer: I attached mine to a pipe on each end. You could stitch one together maybe?

Answer: Yes be easy to hook up as many nets as you would want to with some fishing line or kavlar kite string amazon also sells this stuff and it is super tough and stronger than most cords

Answer: You should be able to do that. I don't see why not.

Does the lead sink the floater under the water?

Answer: No

What is the size of the mesh? 1/4" ?

Answer: Slightly smaller than 0.25". The small mesh size makes it a bit slow to drag through the water, but it is effective.

Answer: Yes, approximately. Small enough to catch small minnows, helgramites, grass shrimp, etc

a cigarette, can it pass through these holes? That's how I know if these holes are small enough to catch the type of fish, I go for.

Answer: No. The mesh is smaller.

Answer: Yes

What is the mesh

Answer: Quarter inch squares very strong I used it to round up 25+ fish in a big Koi pond. Fish from two feet to two inches cleaned out the pond caught them all.

Answer: I was told it is .25

Product reviews of Frabill Seine Net 4'X20' Poly Black Net, One Size

Travis Loftin : works great

Works great

Bruce Hinds : The mesh size is perfect for even small fish however

I use this net to gather up koi in a 11,300 gallon pond. The mesh size is perfect for even small fish however, you WILL need extra weights on the bottom as others have indicated. It's a price conscious move the manufacturer made but it's hurting them in the long run. They had to know that this net needs more weights. All in all a good quality net as long as your aware you will need to buy and install more weight at the bottom.

JG : Five Stars

Great

Kurt Mathiowetz : Needs more weight

Needs more weight to hold it to the bottom. I added a small chain to the bottom and it works great.

jrod : A little disappointed

Its not 4 x 20..more like 3 x 16..it works like a net should.its just not as big as advertised

Uncle Al : Koi pond round-up.

End of the trail for a Koi pond; after 20 years owner wanted her fish(20+) to have a good home. I had just built a new Koi pond and was looking for fish. We used the net to corral the fish in a 3000 gallon pond for easy capture, never could have done it with a dip net. $20.00 net for $200.00+ fish great deal.

Good buy for the money. Takes a lot of finesse to keep baitfish in net.

captim1 : Three Stars

the weights are not heavy enough so the bottom folds giving a way out!!

The picture shows lead weights on the bottom. The are a hard heavier plastic, and do not sink the bottom at all. More weights will have to be added.

joyce norris : Five Stars

works

Robert Ballek : needs more weight on bottom

Net is made of light weight, tear resistant material, but it is a little stiff and does not easily conform to the contour along the seafloor and there are not enough lead weights along the bottom to hold it down securely when dragging along the bottom. I think I will try adding more weights,,,,

anonymous : much smaller than you would expect and the size makes it difficult for actually seining - would recommend a larger size in the future

Okay net, much smaller than you would expect and the size makes it difficult for actually seining - would recommend a larger size in the future. Although the net seems fairly sturdy/durable the weights on the bottom are completely useless and you will have to attach your own if you intend on using this net. The current alone can easily kick up the net from the bottom allowing any creature to swim underneath so make sure to add some personal weights if you intend on being successful.

Carol Claveau : A little pricey.

Good product did the job as intended I would recommend it.
