Can you give a brand name for the net your using? I've been looking at the Betts #19 Series Super Pro Cast net which has the 5/8" mesh AND the Betts Mullet Net which has a 1" mesh. I'm targeting Mahaden. Also thinking about starting my throwing adventure with the 10' net instead of the 8'. Is this like boats and 2fers? In 2 years I'll want 2 more feet of net? Appreciate the help!
Good info., but I prefer using the Collapse-A-Trap to catch bait fish. It doesn't hurt my back and it's so easy to use, my 5 year old loves it. Check out the YouTube video on it.
Yeah. I think he put a snap through 1 nostril and out the other, and actually just had the hook hanging not in the bait. like just sitting right on the swivel. odd.
where did you get your net from, i have a question i have a 10 foot castnet, but there is one problem it is verry frissy wold you have an idea i already used fabrick sofiner it didnt work verry good so i will just get one like yours can you please leave me a message back
Media pointed out , who should you vote for , GOT IT ,, OBAMA is just another choosen USA president but not by the people ,,, RON PAUL Dennis Kucinich ,, But Ron PAul is sombody respectable in my view.
lol webmoss is an obama voter cause he doesnt want to hold lead in his mouth? i guess that makes me an obama voter too. cause the water i throw my net in. . .trust me, you DO NOT want that shit in your mouth. also you're a dipshit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Amen! you're right on Tim! There's better ways to throw the net other than with you mouth... Don't women take it in the mouth? I support Obama because he's for real.

Says the one who obviously has never studied any politics and votes purely based on emotional rhetoric (abortion, gay rights, gun laws, religiosity). You know, all the things that the elected officials have little to no control of.
The best the president can do on those hot button issues is appoint a few supreme court justices that MAY eventually run into a case in which they MAY make a decision that MAY or even MAY NOT reflect the presidents views.
hey, i watched, tried for a bit and got the hang of it! great job on this video, it helps a bunch. ps-im having trouble getting the leading edge of the net to spead nicely, any suggestions?
@jadet13: That ain't no joke. Anyone who's cast netted fish in a river or lake (where it's allowed, that is) knows that you can get dinner for that whole week on a good day, as opposed to the 1 really good one and thousand "throw that pathetic thing back" sized fish you get from fishing with lures. Teach a man to fish, eh? Videos like this will feed a man, his wife, kids, and all extended family for a lifetime.
One thing I disagree with about this video is the claim that people should start with an 8' net. I've taught a number of folks how to properly throw a caster and I can say for 100% certainty that starting off *smallest* is the best way to learn the basics and eventually make your throws perfect. In my opinion (me being just another random guy on the internet who has been throwing a cast net for a while) the best progression is 2' incraments' start at 4' then to 6' to 8' to 10'.
10' net can be thrown without the teeth, without getting too wet. Check out my Top Gun Striper Video, at about :30. Not Knocking on the captain's style, but without rain gear, you're a wet puppy if you have to throw multiple times back to back. Not to mention frozen if it's cold. Putting the net in the mouth is a bad idea too. Around here sometimes the bait is in nasty water (poop).
what the videos and manuals rarely say is that it's all based on centrifugal motion. If you hold a frisbee flat on either side, you would make it spin by quickly rotating one hand over the other. same thing with a net, you can't just throw it, you have to make it spin
I favorited this video months ago, but now that I have a cast net, I can see that this is the best instructional video by far. It is sooooo much more helpful than the instructions I got with my net. Thanks a million, Capt. Al!
where can i buy a net like yours???????

Not true at all. You can open a 12' net by slinging it between your legs if you know what you're doing. All you're doing is making an outward motion.
