Questions about South Bend Monofilament Cast Net with Storage Box

is the mesh small enough to catch fresh water minnows?

Answer: No it is not that small.

Answer: No mesh to large

Answer: No mesh is to big

You did not specify size of mesh is it 3/8 or 1/2 or 1".

Answer: It's not in front of me for me to measure (it's on my boat) but it's either 3/8" or 1/2". I use it for anchovies, they're fairly small and slender, and they don't pass through it, some do get gill stuck in it so I'd guess 3/8".

Answer: What is the weight per foot 3/4 or 1 ounce per foot?

Answer: My net is the 7 foot model and it has 3/8 mesh

Answer: I would say its half inch mesh, too big for minnows and small shad but small enough for bait size shad 2+inch in lench

Can this net bring in big fiah to?

Answer: Personal opinion. No. Too light weight. Having a hard time with the local anchovies in the harbor. Again just a personal opinion. Others may think different. Was raised in Hawaii and been cast netting most of my life with nets that weigh 18 lbs to 22 lbs. sad to say I have yet to catch any bait

Can someone tell me how much do the sinkers weigh? Total weight or individual weight? few of the reviews state that the net sinks too slowly? .

Answer: Cannot give exact weight but the net is not that heavy. More than once have mullets gotten away because the net did not sink fast enough

hi,is this castnet 7ft in radius or diameter.

Answer: It is 7 foot radius and a great net. Has a good sink rate. on first cast caught about 15 mullets. standing i hold center over my head.

Answer: I believe it is radius. I sent mine back

Answer: Radius

Answer: Diameter

what are the mesh sizes ?

Answer: 3/8 in. mesh

Answer: I would say like 3/8 of an inch. I was using it to catch bait fish and was catching 2 inch long spot with it. Very good net for the weekend warrior.

Answer: Don't have exact measurement but used it for pinfish and sardines. Great net!

what is the line size in mm

Are the waits plastic or metal

Answer: Some kind of soft metal.

can you catch foot long mullet or bigger with this net?

Answer: Yes you can catch larger mullet with this net, but if you throw over a large school of them they will hold the net on top of the water just because of the amount of fish I'm the net. Once you close the net on them you will be ok.

Answer: Yes you can I caught a 29 inch jack cravelle at Cedar Key Fl with it. However I bought a Fitech cast net and like it a lot better. Also if I use it for a couple of hours it gets a little heavy. So if I get another cast net I am going to buy a 4 foot or a 5 foot cast net. hope this helps God bless and keep

Answer: Most defiantly! Biggest mullet I've caught was about 7inches.

Answer: Yes

Can you catch shad with this net?

How much weight per foot? Quality nets should have 1 pound of weight per foot.

Answer: I believe 1 pound per foot is the correct weight. Chain weight is best.

is 7 foot radius?

Answer: Yes radius. I found it to be a bit light for waters in a harbor for sardine. Not heavy enough and drops slow. But on beach setting. It's fine in shallower waters. I hope this helps.

Answer: Yes it is

Answer: Yes

What are the weights made of

Answer: They are made of lead.

Product reviews of South Bend Monofilament Cast Net with Storage Box

Misty : Flimsy case

the cast net is great, but in order to keep the cast net in good shape, it is important to have a box that it fits nicely in. The first case that I received was cracked and I sent it back. The replacement was not cracked, but it cracked after a few uses which is really annoying. The case is flimsy so if you do not have your own case and this is important to you, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this particular brand.

RONALD HO : items were as described and fast shipping too!

all items were as described...fast shipping...i would buy simular items again....A++++

Amazon Customer : WASTE OF MONEY

Absolute trash, the plastic weights took forever to sink and the weights unraveled the second time I used it... DO NOT BUY THIS NET!

Cliente de Amazon : Buena malla

La malla es buena, excelente para sacar cantada viva, el único detalle es que los plomos son muy grandes y está remendada con hilo de algodón... al final tuve que remendarle otros plomos y otra cuerda

Amazon Customer : Not impressed. Returned.

I ordered this the end of January. It took 9 days to ship. I received it two days after the date Amazon said would be the latest I would get it. I did get an email notice that my shipment was delayed but I was never told why. I took this net to the beach and casted it twice before the lead line started to unravel and my weights started to fall off. The weights seemed pretty cheap. They felt kind of like a plastic material. I sent it back to Amazon because I expect a cast net to be durable. Not start to fall apart after a few casts. The airway bill was automatically generated by Amazon for UPS to ship on their account so I did not have to pay shipping, but UPS charged me around $7 for packing materials. So please be advised the risk you take with this net. It wasn't anything that I couldn't have fixed and been able to work with down the road. I just want a net that has some sort of life to it and can hang on its own for a while before I need to start doing repairs. Excellent price though but you do get what you pay for!

Dean DeWitt : good weight

great cast net sinks well, good spread on first cast caught about 15 12 inch mullets. like lead weights better , but this works great

ivan : In a better world, the sinker should be heavier

In a better world, the sinker should be heavier, so it would sink faster, and the net should be made of materials that has less memory, but for the price, we can't complain.

Ms : One Star

Don't spend ur money on this cast net. It's very light and not strong.

FishGeek : bigg

Great net about 14 a round takes more skill then I got to use it rite other then that very slick ppb be really happy with a 4 or 5 foot ..WWW.ThoseFishGeeks.com

Farleymon : Works OK for this price range. The area I ...

Works OK for this price range. The area I use it for in the lakes in Texas has a lot of brush and stumps. I go through about 2 nets a year. No need to waist money on the very high priced nets. I use to but these work just a well and fraction of the cost.

A. Smith : Excellent price for this size cast net

Excellent price for this size cast net. The net is well constructed and would definitely purchase again if needed.

Matt : Five Stars

Reasonably priced net, they all go to the dumpster eventually so why pay top dollar.

Fake Reviews by Amazonia : Perfect for catching bait!

Great net! I use this for saltwater flats fishing and it has been great. Be aware of what you are casting over though. Monofilament nets like this will tear if you get hung up on a submerged tree limb or rock so keep an eye out!

RBNORF : The label shown states " HEAVLY WEIGHTED with 3/4 pound ...

The label shown states " HEAVLY WEIGHTED with 3/4 pound of LEAD per radius foot". This is a bogus net with the plastic covered weights, when the product is received the box has a different label and says "WITH ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WEIGHTS". If you throw a net you can tell the difference in true lead, which I thought I was purchasing.

Scott Lindsey : Disappointed - Defective upon arrival

The cast net quality is disappointing so far. I received the item today and took it out in the yard to fully spread and review the netting. There were 2 decent sized holes in the netting.

Unfortunately with these nets you can't afford to have holes or tears to start off with since they are hard enough to keep from tearing in real use.

I wanted to give this seller a chance since they had decent ratings along with a decent price for the size of the net. I am hoping that the replacement net won't have these same issues. So far I can see why they are cheaper. I will update this review once I hear from the company and receive the replacement net.

Henry : Plastic Covered Weights

You'd figure if you buy a new product you wouldn't have to open until your ready to use. Glad I checked this time. Brand new net with zip tied lid. Figure I'd give it a test on my lawn before I took it to the lake since I was used to throwing a 6' radius cast net. So I unraveled the net and spred the net fully open in the sun to smooth out my new net and let it relax. That's when I saw a hole about 3" long midway down one side of the net. So I'll be returning the net. On the flip side. I did try casting it on my lawn and it opens way better than my 12ft. It does use the plastic covered weights. I don't know if it sink slower than lead in water. As for the netting itself it's so much softer than any of the nets from academy I've bought or from Waliworld. So I will buy another one since the test throws I did on my lawn was better than any of my 6'r cast nets. Both my 6' cast nets have lead weights. One is 1/2 the other 3/8. Both very used and mended so much it doesn't open smoothly. Hope this helps anyone because someone in the Question section said the weights were a soft medal. It's not. I'd prefer lead weights!

Adrian : Three Stars

Does not sink fast enough for me which means fish tend to get away.

Luke : if this is your first cast net I recommend getting one that is smaller

if this is your first cast net I recommend getting one that is smaller, say a 3 or 4 foot, it will be easier to cast

Felipe A : but works great once you get the hang of it

Took some time to learn how to use, but works great once you get the hang of it.
