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

Francois : excellent

recu dans les temps exactement ce que je voulais

Camoseth : Light but nice

I've been looking at another larger seine for a while now, the creeks I seine have been flooded and widened out over time, so I bought this " on accident, accidently hit buy with one click" I got it out and looked it over noticed it was a bit light so I'll add some weights to it, looks like its a good quality seine materials seem strong. Giving it 4/5 because its light it will be a 5/5 once I weigh it down

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

Joe : Par for the course

Good net, a little stiff to begin with. Still is very hard to catch minnows in a creek, they are smart and try to go under! But works great for pond minnows.

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.

Frederick king : Five Stars

Great product

Stacey S. : Tremendous Fun with the Kids, Durable, too

I have used this for several years now and it is still holding up well. I am careful to rinse it with fresh water after every use, however. The net functions well and was inexpensive. Our main use is to seine in the shallows of the Chesapeake Bay and then put in a bucket the minnows, crabs, shrimp, etc., that comes out so that the kids can observe. We then throw everything back in the water. As an educational tool, it has been great.

Angela Ritter-Gray : Great for what I needed

Didn’t use this for fishing... I used it for a pool-float sling for my pool. It worked great.

Robert Huber : So-so

Agree with the others. Needs more and better weights.
