I have a 4' x 3/8"', 8' x 3/8", 10' x 1/4", 10' x 1/2", 10' x 1", and a 10' x 5/8" taped from Fitec, Betts, and Barracuda. I fish for crappie, cats, and striper, which require different bait sizes, and the bait can be at varying depths according to time of the year. A net is a tool, and you have to have the right tool for the job at hand!
Thanks for a awesome video on cast nets. U was in my back yard on watts bar lake. My PBS 80 pound blue in Jan night 2:30 am dang cold & release it to fight again 👍
Yeah don’t give up and honestly sometimes it’s easier to throw a bigger net than a small one. I know that doesn’t sound right but believe it is. Thanks for watching
Chris I hate it when the shad I catch get hung up in my cast net. I then have to sit there and pluck each one out by hand. They then of course die right away. Yeah, I've snagged and tore up a few cast nets in my time. Comes with the territory. Good luck out there and be safe!
Just borrow your buddy's net and put it back in his boat with the hung up shad still in it. ......Be sure and tell thanks and remember to never let him use YOUR net.😂😂 (Same with fingerling catfish. Just leave them)
Hi Chris! I recently ordered a Fitec GS 1000, 8’x1” mesh, 1 pound per foot cast net, BUT it has plastic coated steel weights instead of lead weights. It was less than $50. I was wondering if there’s any disadvantages to the non lead weights?
Great question Matt and yes there is a slight disadvantage as they sink slower than actual lead but it will do just fine most of the time. Not to mention that’s a killer deal at 50$!!! Thanks for watching
I teach youth fishing in 4-H. I'd love to hold a class on how to throw a cast net. The kids would love it. Do you have a recommendation on a good net for kids 8 to 14?
A smaller net would do personally amazon has some good cheap nets i would think something in the 4-6 foot range would work i can link one if you have trouble deciding
Hey Chris, do you have a video of how to load and throw a Taped net? I can throw a regular net without issue, but get my butt kicked by a taped one. About 1 out of every 20 throws I actually get it to open. And a 7 foot net at 1.6 lbs per foot, That will wear you out.
Yes I couldn’t believe how smooth that signature series was honestly!! I was very impressed with it. But I love all there nets. Great company. Thanks for watching and the support

Great video as always!!! God Bless and keep roll'n them out!😉
I just started using a 5 foot fitec super spreader here in Ohio and I love it!
That’s a good net and they come in a 1 inch mesh which is really good to catch this cutter size gizzard shad!! Thanks for watching
Yessir!

@@quietobserver4636 fuck those catfish it was dark and I though it was a normal shad and he got me bad
What are your go to net sizes Chris?
What is the smallest shad size that a 1/2" mesh will safely catch without gill netting them? (Threads and Gizz)

Any where from a 4' to 7'. I love my 5' 3/8" mesh that signature series is silky smooth though. All from fitec
Yes I couldn’t believe how smooth that signature series was honestly!! I was very impressed with it. But I love all there nets. Great company. Thanks for watching and the support
good advice.
Thank You and thanks for watching
I bought one. Thanks
Awesome they are great nets!!! I’m sure you will love it!! Thanks for watching buddy
What about mesh size for the smaller one "JACK"
I believe the smaller one was three eights mesh size
Well that didnt help me at all. I thought you might show some examples not just repeat back the questions i have. Frustrating
