Questions about HURRICANE HCN-4 Hurricane 4' Radius Cnet 3/8'

Can anyone tell what size mesh this net has? 1/4" or 3/8".

Answer: 3_8 inch.

lead weights?

Answer: Yes, and to my surprise, each weight has a protective coating on it; very neat finish.

Answer: yes

Does the net close up when pulled

Answer: The weight causes it to close, trapping the bait when retrieved.

Answer: Yes

how to throw it cast net

Answer: Just go to YouTube and enter " how to throw a cast net" and there are many videos on it. Seeing is easyer to understand the trick to spinning the net

Answer: There are several good videos on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ft16dG2n0

Answer: I would suggest You Tube to watch others as it is not as easy to explain as it would be to watch a few and then learn your own technique.

How much weight per foot? A good cast net should have 1 pound of lead weight per foot. Thus is a 4 ft radius so it should have 8 pounds of lead.

Do you think the 3/8 inch netting could catch 2'-4' thread fin shad?

Answer: Yes it will catch 2-4 inch shad

Answer: yes, that is what we use it for.

Answer: yes it will

can anyone recommend what net i should get to catch 1/2"-2" guppies? thanks

Answer: I'm not sure what size. But 2-3" spot tails get their gills stuck in this net. You would want something with w much smaller spacing in the netting.

Answer: Go to pet store for that, not a regular casting net.

can you catch fresh water minnows with it?

Answer: Shiners yes, minnows no. They would go right thru the holes.

Answer: I've caught some really small shad and blue gill, but not minnows.

Will it work in a small pond where there are very small fish?

Answer: It does work well on small fish. I have caught minnows and spot that were very small in this net.

what is the mesh opening size

Answer: Very sorry but we can't answer that. It is currently stuck in the bottom of a creek. My son used it a lot but this last time he threw it out where there was some debris. He loved it while he had it though! He is planning on getting another one (the same one) if that helps.

Answer: I believe 3/8

This says it is a 4' radius! That's an 8' diameter net! Is that correct?

Answer: Thank's. That was very helpful!

Answer: Yes

what is the shiping wait?

Answer: It arrived quickly. I think it showed up same week for me.

Could the 3/8 inch netting catch 2'-4 inch shad?

what is the net opening size

Do you think the 3/8 inch netting could catch 2'-4' thread fin shad?

Answer: Yes it will catch 2-4 inch shad

Answer: yes, that is what we use it for.

Answer: yes it will

Is it illegal to use in california

How long is the rope on this net?

Answer: It's been a while since I've used it, so I would say it's about 15-20ft.

What mesh size is it?

Answer: Hi Ken, I'm not sure of the mesh size but it's pretty small. I used it in costa rica to catch bait fish. I left it there with a friend. It's a small net, you're not going to catch a school of mullet with it but if you're looking for something easy to throw and catches bait fish, this is ideal. If I had to guess on the mesh size, I would say around a 1/4 inch maybe a little more.

what is the diameter of the net

Answer: It's pretty small. I want to say no bigger than 4'

What is the length of the cord?

Answer: About 15 ft I think

Product reviews of HURRICANE HCN-4 Hurricane 4' Radius Cnet 3/8'

YailoMC : Five Stars

Great product fast S&H.

Titus Hestand : Five Stars

I love casting for fish bait.

Phillip Henning : Five Stars

Good net: easy to cast, opens well, fairly priced.
Recommend highly.
Phil

da'ronche : No reason for less than 5 stars

Took it out the other day and it stood up to getting snagged a couple of times with no damage. Accidentally netted a 4 pound channel cat and it stood up to that too. No problems whatsoever.

niteliter : For MORE then catching baitish (CHECK local laws regarding use)

I have always,well,maybe NOT always,wanted to get one of these,just to see how it works,well,after about 12 casts,it became EZ,and fun too,it gave me a chance to see just how beautiful the fish are when they are tooo small for a hook,starting colors,nice lines,while I bought it to collect bait (its IMPERATIVE!! that you check local fish and game laws regarding the use of a castnet,which may or not vary from water to water ,some areas require a Castnet Permit to use in certain areas!!!!),it became more of a personal research,fun type thing,I can see this being a great family type tool,kinda like kids going thru the garden with a butterfly net catching bugs and butterflies,cept HERE you DONT know what you are catching until you pull the net up.
CONS-This device can be dangerous,it can if NOT kept under CONTROL,lead to excercise,weight loss,arouse your desire to study water life forms,spend more time with your kids as they want to see what the next catch brings in.USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
As a serious note-this has a long chord which can be dangerous to young children that may become entangled in any part of the net.
Enjoy.........

H. Fredell : Three Stars

Pretty useless if you are casting into more than 2 foot of water. Slow to sink.

Russ : Great product but use caution if you hit a snag

Great product but use caution if you hit a snag, if you pull too hard you will shread the net. I got the 4' net because I thought It would be easier to toss a smaller net, not so. Product easy to throw, check out U-tube for instructions on throwing a cast net. Next time I will order the 5' or 6' version.

harrison : Five Stars

great in water and i love this iteam

Leo311 : Not as useful for catching ducks as I thought it might me

You have no idea how hard it is to catch ducks with this. I'm sure it works great for bait fish, but may not be your best bet for catching ducks that won't leave the water to go back into the Duck House. Maybe I need a trolling motor.

Denis Mueller : gotta love it free biat!

This is my second cast net I'll never pay for bait again

JO11YGR33N : You get what you pay for

You get what you pay for. The net is stiff and there isn't enough weight. This works fine next to the shore line but that's it.

Titus Hestand : Five Stars

I love casting for fish bait.

Oleksandr : Great learners cast net

Great first timer cast net. Was able to open it nicely the very first through. Sinks fast and does not entangle much even if you mess up. Makes a great learning cast net with a decent coverage area.

Darlene : Five Stars

My husband like these throw nets.

Dawn : Love this cast net

Perfect size for casting. I’m am female so bigger nets are hard to use. This product still has a great range and is so easy once you practice a couple times. Would definitely buy again if needed. Still holding up after a couple of years.

alberto maggi : successful on 1 st try!

For the price , i believe this is a good starter.to learn the the skills to be able to move up to bigger cast nets.

Brian : Net Never Goes Back Into Box

I've used this for catching bait fish in the local lakes. Works great on larger shad. Not so much on really small stuff. I only wish I could get it back into the box it came in.

Norma Arrington : Four Stars

Best priced casting net around. As good as the higher priced casting nets.

JO11YGR33N : You get what you pay for

You get what you pay for. The net is stiff and there isn't enough weight. This works fine next to the shore line but that's it.

KEL : My son uses this on the beach. He spends ...

My son uses this on the beach. He spends all day doing this, but be forewarned, there will be a trail of kids behind you.

Bill : Five Stars

Once i learned how to throw it its fun! Nice net!

Arnold I. Liu : Product improvement

This net works well if water depth is less than 5 feet because the sinkers are too light to catch the fast diving bait fish in a deeper water than 5 feet.

panoply : Four Stars

as expected

S. Bernazzani : easy to store

East to use, easy to store, now if I can ever get out to use it to load up on bait...

harrison : Five Stars

great in water and i love this iteam

mike corey : casterbait

fun took a few tosses to figure out technique

Nancy R. Smith : They love fishing and the bait that the casting net provides

Bought the net for grand kids ages 8 and 6. They live in Memphis. They take the net to the lake and cast for minnows for bait. They love fishing and the bait that the casting net provides.

RichRichRich : Great cast net for inshore casting.

Super cast net. I use it with my two older children to catch bait on the Carolina coast. Its made of good quality and feel solid.

Denova Dainia Lambert : I love my new cast net

I love my new cast net, ,my fiance and i enjoy fish and is really looking forward to using this, we've looked at a lot of videos, and will practice using it, I must say all the reviews really helped me make a decision on purchasing it, Thanks to all !
