Questions about Douglas Common Sense Polyester Minnow Seines

What is the estimated shipping weight on the 12x4 feet version?

Answer: The net weighs 8 oz, as stated in the description. Not sure what the shipping weight would be, as that depends on the weight of the box used in shipping.

what is the smallest bait net size made?

What seine poles are best with this net?

Answer: I don't see the poles anymore on here, but I use aluminum 4' poles with holes so you can tie the net onto them.

Answer: I use 4 broom handles wrap the seine around 2 of the broom handles three times and stable it with heavy duty stable gun.

Answer: I went into to woods a cut some nice straght. 2" diameter saplings .....free works best!

Answer: I've used wooden stakes with good results. The slight roughness of the stakes helps keep the ties in place.

Is this good for catching tropical fish (tangs, puffers, etc)? we are looking to take a net to the fl keys to expand our saltwater tank.

What are the weights made of?

Answer: Weight are made of Lead...

Answer: Sorry, I didn't purchase the one with the weights. I was using it for something else. Tricia

Answer: Lead

Answer: lead i believe

Is this mesh size legal in FL. I can only find maximum mesh size nothing about minimum. One would think the minimum would be more important. Mostly I want to catch shrimp for bait and the 1 inch mesh seems to big.

I want to stretch this out at the bottom of a tree where young girls keep falling out of the nest and I want to catch them. Will this work for that? O

Answer: I use mine to catch minnows & does a good job. I would not use it as a catch for any kid, unless I didn't care if the kid was injured or killed. DON'T USE IT TO CATCH KIDS!!!

Product reviews of Douglas Common Sense Polyester Minnow Seines

Texas Joe : Get a bigger one

Way too be short

HSB : Useful in Aquarium Filtration too!

Bought one a few years ago in order to use it to seine to catch native fishes for my aquariums, but never used it. Instead, I ended up employing it in my aquarium canister filters.

I cut the netting up into sections (careful to cut out the lead bits that could poison the fish in my tank) and using it to wrap the filter media that I put inside my larger canister Eheim filters (Eheim 2262). It is too big for smaller filters, but perfect for the giant 2262 filter. I wrap the ceramic noodles for the mechanical filtration (Eheim Mech) and other noodles for the biological filtration (Eheim Substrat). Eheim apparently excepts you to use them loose and rolling around crazily, but I have contained mine in this seine, and it is much easier to lift out of the canister and into a bucket etc. when contained.

It makes it easier to contain the Eheim ceramic noodles in a wrap and lift it in and out of the canister while cleaning.

LilyV : Great Buy

I purchased this netting for my grandsons to use to catch minnows for fishing. They had to use some make-shift poles as we did not purchase those, but they love it. I would certainly purchase again.

very nice net. A little more lead on the bottom line would be nice. We have been learning about all the fish using the flats as a nursery.

V Michael : Netted a Good Net

Nice product. Seems substantial enough for the job. Has weights along one side and floats along the other which look helpful for catching bait. I have not used this for fishing yet but am prepared for the next trip.

Herb : SEINE

Good seine, but was expecting wood floats like were on seines last time I used one (years ago).

J. Collins : It has been in our family for generations (odd thing to loose and feel sad about, but there you go)

We lost out drag net in hurricane Sandy. It has been in our family for generations (odd thing to loose and feel sad about, but there you go). My 1st trip fishing after loosing the drag net, and I was shocked at the cost of bait!! Oh My Goodness!! Anyway, this is the 1st net I ever bought, so didn't know what I was doing/looking for, but I took a chance and bought this. I used zip ties to connect it to 2 dowel rods (1 at either end), and we were good to go in under 10 minutes. I probably will drill holes in the dowels at some point, but that's just because I'm OCD. We dragged for spearing in the bay, and it was tremendously successful. In 2 days it paid for itself, and dragging for bait is often more fun then fishing (especially with little kids). The bait we were after were about 2 inch long, and a bit under a cm thick, and this net was perfect for that.
