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

shakir miah : Want my money back

Paid over $130. But it's not a good net. It does not open and had ripped on the 3rd throw.

gogowiz1 : Nice smallish 8' net that throws well making it a good all-around entry level net

Nice smallish 8' net that throws well. An 8' net should spread to 16' in diameter which I couldn't manage in the lawn pulling it out. Maybe it was when they made it, but with the shaping, it is no longer a full 8' radius. The 3/8 inch net is good for most bait in fresh and coastal fishing. This one is the smallest 8' net I've ever used. Decent amount of lead weights so it sinks quickly. Line pulls smoothly through the horn. So far, it has cleaned and held up well. For the price, it is a good deal.

xmas gift

Monte : Great net for the price

Great net for the price. You do get what u pay for. Lee fishers higher end nets are way better. This is a good first time learning net.

Ralph L. : economy net at an economy price

So far the net is working great and opens fine, especially for an inexpensive net. I use it in open water as to prevent getting it hung up on obstacles or shell beds.

Stephanie Nagy : Five Stars

great quality, works perfect for catching bait

Slots Not Thots : Decent value

Cast nets don't last forever. That being said I'm still using this net 2 years later. The mono and construction isnt the best quality but you can open this net and catch bait. It's not the easiest to open (the softer the mono the easier) but still getting the job done. Would recommend if you are on a budget. If you arent on a budget you are going to tear your expensive net eventually anyways..

Jared : Worked great - didn't tangle up - caught a bunch of ...

Worked great - didn't tangle up - caught a bunch of shrimp using it. Some will argue that a 3/8" mesh is too big -- but I don't want to keep anything that is caught in a smaller mesh, anyways. I did tape up the bottom edge to help it open a bit easier and stay open a bit longer as it sinks to the bottom. I'm happy with it.

Hal in Augusta : Its a big-un

Its bigger than I thought it would be.
I can't hold the center high enough without it touching the ground - so it must be larger than 8 ft - because the radius of that is only 4 ft, which I would have no problem holding off the floor.
Bigger is better - so fold it once before lifting the lead line skirt.
I throw it cross-chest backhanded like a frisbee to get it to open up.

tkishkape : Great net of excellent quality

Excellent quality. After proper treatment and hanging to straighten the braille leads, I threw perfect casts from the first cast. I look forward to using this fine net for another 8 years, like it's predecessor.

DSY : Five Stars

Good

Phillip Riggins : Two Stars

Advertized as 8' net only measures 7' 4" stretched. Disapointed!!!!!!!

Michael Guzzello : Three Stars

Not a fast sinking net

wlstott : Bait Cast net

Good bait net, opens everytime with ease.

Jimmy : My fave Castnet for bait!

Great net! I caught a ton of bait with it and a flounder the first day I tried it. If your worried you can't throw it properly just watch some YouTube videos. Great product!

gogowiz1 : Nice smallish 8' net that throws well making it a good all-around entry level net

Bookie_Monster : My first good cast with this net caught me a 2lb bass .....

My first good cast with this net caught me a 2lb bass (I was going for blue gill). I could not be happier with my purchase. It is a great quality net and was keeper than all the sports stores near my house including Walmart. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Obviously, casting a 8 foot net well will take a lot of practice.

Greg Williams : Great net

Used this net for Ballyhoo in the keys. We loaded the live well then loaded the cooler. Good quality and throws easier compared to the larger nets.

Amazon Customer : This is better then I could have imagined

I go through 4 to 5 nets a year. This is better then I could have imagined.

DAN : Lead line doesn't even draw closed on the 7 footer and its nothing like a more expensive net

3 stars for the real lead line and price, other than that POS. Lead line doesn't even draw closed on the 7 footer and its nothing like a more expensive net. I'm used to throwing a 10'ter with better all around materials.
