Questions about South Bend Monofilament Cast Net with Storage Box

is the mesh small enough to catch fresh water minnows?

Answer: For small fresh water minnows you'd probably be better off with 1/4" mesh. 3/8 works well for shrimp and mud minnows. Hope this helps.

Answer: No it is not that small.

what is the weight per foot ?

Answer: I'm not sure exactly, but I hauled in over 10 12+ lb Mullets in one haul in SC.. Hope this helps

can you catch fresh water minnows with it?

Answer: No the hole to big for that

Answer: I would say probably not. It's a pretty wide weave, I would say a 3 inch minimum with any consistency.

Answer: Not this model , the weave is too large.

Answer: Check with local fishing regulations. Where I am you cannot use a cast net in fresh water.

Answer: holes are a little large, but still a great net

Answer: well i never used it for that ...i use it to cast sprat at the shore and it works very well

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

How does it compare to Bett's Old Salt?

Answer: i dont know regarding Betts Old Salt but to compare with Mako Bait Cast Net 3/8" Square Mesh, 6 Ft. CBT-S6 (6 ft. Radius) the last one is better

Hello, what are mesd size?

Answer: 3/8

how big is the net?

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

Tyler : Get what you pay for but not bad for the price.

Not bad for the price. Doesn't sink as quickly as I would like to see and the net is still stiff even after a night of conditioning. Doesn't open the full length just kind of bunches the skirt a little bit. It perfect for what I wanted it for, I had a pond get overpopulated with fish and so I wanted something cheap to use since I don't live in saltwater territory where I needed it to catch bait.

Cliente de Amazon : buen producto

sedal resistente es perfecta para especies pequeñas ya que su malla es pequeña menor a 1cm2 al igual para especies grandes ya que el monofilamente es grueso de cal 40 sin mas es un excelente producto.

Amazon Customer : One Star

Garbage

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!

Barb Foss : Happy with purchase

This was a gift for my son-in-law who was very excited to be receiving it. I have not heard how it has worked out for him but I know that it was something that he really wanted.

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

ron : Five Stars

Sid The Kid : Four Stars

Seems good quality

indira : Five Stars

nicky britten : Five Stars

gave for a present

J.B : Four Stars

Good.

Adrian : Three Stars

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

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!

Leonard Morgan : Goor throwing net, right size.

Got it fast in the mail, got other items and free shipping. Do not want to put in my mouth to throw. Go to You Tube and watch a small kid throw a 7 ft. net. I say the line is to long, row the line around your hand and make it shorter. Wish it was made in the U.S.A. But would have to pay five times the price. Go in yard to practice. got it right one out of ten. It's a good net, good weights, I will keep trying until I get it perfect each time, and start catching my bait free.

Debrina Maria : Works great and came in fast.

I have bought about 17 cast nets since 2002. My son is a fishing maniac. And he can be rough on cast nets. Hung up, ripped, forgotten, etc. He has done it. This net arrived on my front door really fast. And so far it's been several months and it's still hanging strong. He uses it after school during the week and on the weekends if it's not storming. He loves it.

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.

It's okay the amount of money I spent for this net. I caught lots of mulet and peanut bunker and so many other kinds of baits for fishing. The net is not too strong build and very light weight.

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.

Cliente de Amazon : buen producto

Hal Hucks : Cast net

Great for money- it's monofilament, so fish get caught easily, but you really can't expect more for the price

tyler : Five Stars

Love this cast net. Great buy

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!
