size of net

Answer: A 6' cast net is 12' when open. I own this one, and I am pleased with it.

Answer: 6 feet in diameter. It was for my grand daughter she nets for bait with it.

Answer: Good question. I keep it in Florida for when I am down there fishing. I've cast it maybe 30 times and like how it works. I don't know how big a diameter I could stretch it to on a floor, but casting, it does not open much more than 6 ft; certainly not 12 ft. So, I would say the mfgr. spec. of 6 ft is close to correct.

Answer: Six feet in diameter

How long is the rope?

Product reviews of Lee Fisher Sports Mako Cast Net 6 Ft (3/8" SQ Mesh)

SeaPro : Bad Quality, Rips on casting line.

The net is ok, I think. However, the net came brand new, but there was a serious ripp in the casting line, that was tied over in a square not, lol. "Proffessional?"Bad Quality, Rips on casting line. Need I say more.

Amazon Customer : Crappy net

This net does not have enough weight. The leash is too short.

willis t. : Quality of the net was very good I had trouble casting this large a net

Quality of the net was very good I had trouble casting this large a net. I got a smaller one and could throw it fine.

TPham1948 : and this is one of my favorite. It opens easily

I use many cast nets over the years, and this is one of my favorite. It opens easily.

TexasWilly : Great cast net

Great cast net for the money. Opens easily once it is soaked in fabric softener. This cast net opens up to 12 feet in diameter. Great net for beginners.

james shade : This thing is garbage, on the first cast the net tore (casting ...

This thing is garbage, on the first cast the net tore (casting on a muddy bottom in 20 ft of water so no snags) and on the second cast the horn separated from the net, and of course no returns after it touches the water I'll never purchase this product again..

Lun Chen : Four Stars

good enough for bait, weight a little light

Kiwi : This is the perfect diameter net for a beginner to toss with just ...

This is the perfect diameter net for a beginner to toss with just the right sized lead weights so that it drops quickly to the bottom. The 3/8" size of the netting is perfect for trapping bait fish and larger fish and the fish are easy to unload from the net into a bait bucket.

Robert Jones : Great looking and feeling cast net.

First of all the cast net is 6' RADIUS, not diameter as the description says. It is 12' Diameter so make sure you know that in case it is illegal in your state. I'm still learning how to use it by throwing in the backyard and it fells really soft and smooth so far. But I wanted to get this posted since the description is wrong. A great net and not a bad price for what you get, no tears or anything. Can't wait to get the cast down so I can actually use it!

TexasWilly : Great cast net

Great cast net for the money. Opens easily once it is soaked in fabric softener. This cast net opens up to 12 feet in diameter. Great net for beginners.

L.L. : 12feet across, need bigger and not so easy

it is not that easy as it claims to be. It was inexpensive compaired to other nets so I took a chance. I also found out that 12 feet across is not big enough, unless you can throw perfect circle when it hits the water. I haven't used it even though I am a proud owner of this casting net.

Kevin : Five Stars

Great net. Had it stolen after like 3 days which sucked but I caught tons of bait.

Dennis Stevens : Five Stars

NC USMC Corpsman : STILL Five Stars

The quality exceeds the Betts nets in the same price range by far. They are more supple, less stiff...this makes throwing and handling the net much easier. I have had MANY cast nets, this is my favorite, with the exception of a Calusa net, but that net was about 4 times as expensive, and no less resistant to the oyster beds. Great net, great price !

2019
This review was from 2015. after 4 years of ownership, this is still my go-to net, I only use my other nets when I fear the oyster beds might claim some or all of the net. The net is even more supple now.

Gerard A. Fowler : It throws better for me than my 2 more expensive nets

Took a chance on this after a recommendation from a friend. It throws better for me than my 2 more expensive nets. Not sure why, but it is really amazing.

Mark P Smith : Got here quick

The cast net came quickly and I had a chance to practice with it. I haven't used it yet but it works well in my back yard.

David Ray : Great product

Great product easy to use and at a really good price. Overall it is what I wanted and needed in a cast net!!

Amazon Customer : Just OK

Just an ok net but did not expect much more for the price. Opens ok but not fully as will not lay flat, even when stretched by hand. Very short rope for this size net. Needed something in a low price range for bank netting bait on rocky shore line, thus satisfied for the price. If your looking to get a net that opens fully and easily I would suggest spending a few more dallors and looking into BETTS OLD SALT Nets.

WilNaDon : Worth the price

Good net. Easy to cast. Mine stinks because I've caught so many shad with it so I guess that's a good thing!

Carlos B. : Is ok

I get today I used is to much money for the quality

Moe : It’s a good net
