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

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

Amazon Customer : it is a good net not enough lead to use in river current ...

it is a good net not enough lead to use in river current picks up bottom of net i added extra lead line off a old cast net with small zip ties and now i catch bait in river

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.

Jeff M : Mesh wont sink.

It's covered with a coating so that it holds bubbles and the mesh wont sink.

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.

Keith : A complete waste of money

I have used seines extensively for almost 60 years now. My two seines had lots of patches so I thought I'd get a new one. I found this seine to be unusable and it ended up discarded. There are three things about this net that make it unusable: First, it is polyester. All the old nets, and all the good nets are nylon. Nylon bends easily and makes that nice big fold that traps minnows. Polyester is stiff and does not. Second - good seines have lead weights to help them hug the bottom. This net has much lighter steel weights. The weights hove no weight to them, and worse, their large surface area catches the current and pulls it out from under the net. Third, these nets have these worthless weights hanging several inches below the net. On a good net, the weights will be even with the bottom of the net. Being below the net, causes the bottom of the net to drag back behind the net, which allows fish to escape. Evidently all "on the shelf" nets made these days are made exactly like this one and every one of them are worthless. If someone wants a good net now, you have to contact a net-maker and have it made. I threw this one away after using it twice. My old nets with patches are far superior. I then called a net-maker and ordered a good net. Yes, they cost about $90 to $150, but for those like me who use nets all the time, my time is worth something. Yes, this net is "sturdy." But sturdiness in nets is not what you want. This polyester net ruined two fishing trips. I'll never take a polyester net with steel weights on the river again!!

ChrisK : Durable seining net

Very satisfied with this seining net. We used it most of the summer and it works great. I bought the longer net (20') by mistake, but we just roll one end up and it works fine.
