Answer: Thats all I use it for, but the 3/8" mesh is large for the smaller mullet and they get stuck in it. The mullet this morning were between 4 and 8", two casts into the school and I had bait for 6 guy's all day.... This one is great, it has a 32' tag line which I need because I can throw that far without spooking them...

Does this work better than a fishing pole? Do I need anything with the net?

Answer: The net is for bait fish. I do not use it in replacement of a fishing pole I use it for bait for my fishing pole. Works great!

Answer: Usually used to catch bait fish, for catching larger fish on lines.

Are the 3/4 lb weights on the 12ft Goture Great American saltwater cast net are real lead?

Answer: As far as I can tell they are lead. Any cast net I have ever owned had lead weights if not they would rust and that is not good for a cast net or any net.

Would this be a suitable net that I can rescue injured, but still mobile water birds with ? From shallow water or from the beach.

Answer: Not having had experience with rescuing injured birds, but I can see that the cast net will be effective and good for retrieving injured birds. With practice you will a have a greater reach and range than with long handled scoop nets. I imagine you will find it fun. The cast net should be a least 6 feet in height, and 8 footer would probably be better but you will have to contend with the cast net being heavier.

It says the bottom is taped but does not show tape in the pictures so I am unclear as to whether or not it is taped.

whether can I buy a warranty?

Answer: I think that only the seller can offer a warranty. If you are looking for a warranty whether the net will catch fish, you are out of luck.

Answer: Yes i use in fresh water for shad and small blue gill

Is it good for shrimping ?

Answer: I have caught shrimp in this net when trying to catch mullet but have never targeted shrimp specifically.

Answer: Yes I think so. Although I never tried shrimping with it. My net has 3/8” mesh. Maybe you might need smaller mesh net.

Answer: Yes, it is good for catching any type of live bait.

are the holes small enough making this good for catching shrimp?

Answer: If I had to guess, I would say no. It works well for greenbacks but I would not target anything smaller. Some greenbacks get gilled on this mesh size.

does it use lead weights or plastic coated metal

Answer: Hi, the net uses heavy lead weights, definitely not plastic coated metal.

Answer: plastic coated lead

Is this only for saltwater? Can it be used in lakes etc???

Answer: If is built for saltwater then it should be adequate for lake water

Product reviews of Goture American Saltwater Fishing Cast Net for Bait Trap Fish 3ft/4ft/6ft/8ft/10ft/12ft Radius, 3/8inch Mesh Size

D Hustle : Sniper

Throws very far. Caught a couple of 5 lb bass with the 4 ft version. Best caster out there.

Lazy shopper : a little hard to throw this net, but it sure works when you get it right.

was using a very small net and not catching much bait. in the first 3 throws had a bucket full. (and the first throw did not really count).

Louise K. : Good value

Repairing cast net

Jeff Porter : Well made

Well constructed easy to open when throwing it.

cowboyslt : Awesome!!

Love this casting net

Kenny Sims : Great net for the price

Great net for the price!!! Heavy mono, that seems a lot stronger then my fitec net. Have yet to snag it so, time will tell. But it does feel very nice for the price point.

J. Hanson : Great wristband

This is my initial review based on one trip using the cast net. I just used this for the first time down on the Texas coast trying to catch mullet. I was using it primarily in shallow water. I like the neoprene wrist band which is a step up from most cast nets I have used. It stays put and you don't have to worry about it coming off your wrist when you cast it. It was a little lighter than the other cast net I have and did not seem to open as good. I was still able to catch bait but not sure how it would work on a very windy day or deeper water. I would also like to have seen it come in some sort of plastic reusable case versus just in a box.

Jonix : Works good.

Casting net works well.
Th weights on tue net is actually cool. Its like heavy plastic.
I caught multiple fish in a single cast. Good for bait fish.

The bucket can be useful. I put there the fish that i caught.

Price of the net is reasonable. Good quality net.

Dale Z. : Works great

Love fishing. So I went ahead and bought this fishing net. The product is very durable and I like that it has the padding on the wrist band part help releasing the pressure.

Joe : The one I got was 5ft instead of 6ft which is a bummer but..

It works and it does what its suppose to regardless of it being misleading.

Marco A. Duran : Overall the quality is excellent, I just have to learn to toss a ...

Looks a little complicated but I think I can handle it. Overall the quality is excellent, I just have to learn to toss a net.

critter : Five Stars

Great for shallows.

Amazon Customer : This product is really nice

I like very much

rafi ahmed : Strings are not good quality.

ok product. Strings are not good quality.

FLgirl : Great cast net

Just as described. My son loves it!

tom123 : Best net

12 ft net is huge. Recommend starting with smaller net. I caught bunker of all sizes in net. Up too 150 peanuts per cast. Great net no complaints.

Matt D. : Garbage quality

I have had about 6 cast nets over the years... all have lasted until literally ripped apart from old age or from oysters. (Oysters are our Lowcountry double edged sword, they provide all the fish, but unfriendly to boats and nets...)
The quality of this net is garbage. Many reasons...
The mono lines are not securely tied to the perimeter line... i have had several simply pull off from terrible knots, so on the boat I'm not catching bait, I'm retying mono. There are not ENOUGH of them, for my 6 foot net, there is one every two feet on the perimeter, so there are a lot of coverage gaps when collapsing the net on first pull. The perimeter nylon line itself came untied, breaking the circle... once again, I'm on the boat retying nets instead of catching bait. Then the ring in the center of the net holding all the mono lines is cheap and has come unsnapped and likely to have a short lifespan. do NOT buy this net.

Bezli : Durable and lightweight

Anglers all around the world know in their heart that good fishing gear can take the overall experience to a great new height. Cast nets are incredibly popular for bait fishing and they have been in the fishing scenario for ages. Cast nets date back to 1000 B.C and you can find its reference in the Bible, too. Fascinating, right?

A cast net is thrown into a specific place in the water over a targeted area. When the net lands on the water it starts sinking because of the lead weights. The lead line eventually forms an enclosed area where fishes are caught. Cast net fishing is a lot different than fly fishing, ice fishing, or other kinds of fishing styles.

Cast nets help to catch a school of fish altogether and these nets are adored by the fishermen as they are a lot more convenient and efficient than the other methods. Fishermen can catch more fishes at a single go rather than just catching one like a fishing rod.

I haven't used it yet but it is a well-constructed cast net. Material Is strong and seems durable. The rope is thin but seems strong enough to hold the net full of bait. Great material and quality. Can't wait to use it. They are handmade and the mesh is made with copolymer monofilament. The strong nylon fiber will provide a powerful bearing and the long 30ft PE braid hand-line helps to cast even further.

The braid hand-line also diminishes the risk of losing the net in the sea or river as it will be attached to my hand. When the Goture is thrown, it takes the shape of a parabola in the air and once it falls on water, it takes a circular shape that catches the bait more easily.

The mesh has a size of 3/8” which can successfully accommodate most bait fishes. Once the net is thrown in the water, it sinks super-fast due to the loads attached to it. These loads form a tight bottom seal which creates a closure and restricts the baits from moving out.

V. : Do not buy - Does not work and “American” name is deceptive

The name says American but it is Chinese. Instructions are incomplete and the weights are not heavy enough to sink quickly enough to catch any fish.

Shahad : The material was used is completely wrong ????

Their materials is not good at all just I used it one time and it’s Was torn off

Marcellus R. Ngiraingas : Two Stars

I have never purchased a cast net before, or used one for that matter. Getting used to throwing it out has been challenging, but I really love this net. I ordered the 4 ft. one b/c I wasn't sure I could handle a larger one. I have yielded several fish already! Excited to get out and try it more!

Wihunting : Not bad

Hard to use not the products fault just hard to cast unless you put part in your mouth.

Timothy P. : Poor quality. Don’t buy

Second time using this net the rope snapped off the wristlet. Lost the whole net into the water and was unable to recover. Rope was poorly sewn into the wristlet unfortunately. Worst part was that it was the only bait opportunity we had on a trip that was planned for months. Extremely disappointed group of anglers. Will look for a better quality cast net in the future.

Anton Krajicek : Have a way to store it

Bucket not included

Ka Fung Chin : Great Cast Net

Bought one for my dad, he liked it so much, he asked me to buy two more for my uncles.
