How To Easily Throw a Six or Eight Foot Cast Net From Shore, Boat or Kayak

Easy way to throw a cast net without putting a lead line in your mouth or draping the net over a shoulder. This method is really simple to learn and use from shore, in a boat or even from a kayak. I use this method when I'm standing in my kayak in deep or shallow water and it work s great.

Here's a brief outline of the process 6' or 8' net:
1. Coil the rope
2. Stretch the net
3 Make sure the braille lines are free from twists or tangles
4. Clear the lead line of any tangles
5. Grab the net about one to one and a half feet down from the yoke
6. Divide the net into thirds
7. Create a loop in net around the center of your thigh
8. Grab the third of the net opposite of where the rope is coiled and lay it in the opposite hand, grip it.
9. Grab one lead
10. Load, twist, throw and spin the net
With some practice you will discover that this is an easy way to throw a cast net without putting lead lines in your mouth or having to drape the net over your shoulder.

Thanks for the lesson on throwing the net. Super easy and much easier on my 64 year old shoulder. I will share this.

[@OMOLMentoringinc]

I have been doing everything right except throwing the weight hand behind me to spin. Which explains why I got distance and semi-open. The gold nuggets you learn in a day can make you very efficient

[@NickJamess]

To anyone who hasn't seen JC's videos, they're great. Always tons of information, easy to follow, and he is having fun. Keep it up JC! You're the man.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for the encouraging words, greatly appreciated.

[@DeaconRob]

Thank you sir! Because of you, I went out to the lake with my kids, netted some shad and landed a nice size largemouth. May God bless you!

[@alanwall3408]

Thanks for the video. Your style is the easy I’ve ever tried. By doing this I caught the most bait at once than I ever have.

[@tomreyes4908]

The best explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you for being so thorough

[@robertnelson1526]

Thank you from Australia 67 never thrown a net before play your happy smile in video about ten times practiced in the lounge with out the throw went out side opened first time your the best .

[@jeware1971]

Thanks, I have a friend that is tall and kept telling me to put lead in mouth. Know I know, I'll practice and teach my daughter, she wants to cast. Again, thanks. That's better than throwing half of it over shoulder.

[@isaotimothy1234]

Thank you... You're a wonderful teacher...

[@asugarholicslife]

My husband just got into fishing. I was so excited I knew you already because I knew I was going to be taught in a way I could get it! Thanks JC

[@tg1cent765]

Only video that's made me successful at throwing a cast net. Thank you!!!

[@MON4P101]

Good teacher;step by step slowly and clearly demonstrate.This is the one video about fishing I like it.

[@tcon6504]

Dude! I bought my first cast net about a week ago. First throw grabbed a couple of Manhattan. Next row got a Manhattan but that was cheating because there was a big ball in front of me. Everything else has been a total disaster. I have watched dozens of videos trying to explain this to me and yours is by far the clearest and easiest example of what to do. Thank you! Tim

[@openstenosis]

Those Manhattans are hard to catch, I’d go after the Bronx’s, or even the Staten Islands

[@tombombadil6591]

Thank you! Been watching videos and practicing but have not found my niche til this video! Technique works perfect for my 6' cast!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@usersss100]

thanks JC. after watching a few other clips on how to set up the net before casting, your clip was the simplest to grasp. it helped alot!!

[@robertbending9563]

Best step by step video I have seen.

[@franklloyd96]

So, the seller experienced challenges with the great interruption in the supply chain, but never gave up in getting me the kayak. Great integrity and we’re always kind and helpful…

[@abpob6052]

Thanks for the lesson Uncle Rico! I bet you could throw that net over a mountain! Seriously, thanks for the tutorial. I have an 8' net and it beats me up.

[@jessejuliano4283]

Thank you so much I can’t wait to try this

[@gd3design63]

This was a great explanation! Going to give this method a shot for sure. Thank you!

[@matthewchase6744]

Great job and awesome explanation gonna try this season

[@stephenbeckers2923]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have watched and tried to duplicate countless videos on how to cast my 6ft net and failed miserably. Until I watched your very detailed video, and you took it a step farther by explaining how to flip the lead line under to create the spin required to open the net. Every other video that I have watched, failed to point that little nugget out! I was able to throw a perfect pancake on my second try. I liked and of course subscribed. Again thanks for taking the time to create this video for us newbies.

[@kennethslough5747]

Yep I say it is a good video, about 5/casts and I got a good cast, not a complete pancake yet but, I'll keep working on it, KS, Lake Tawankini in Texas, East of Big- D, 🤠🏈, 4-ever man!!

[@scorpioniulia]

Than you so much! Great tutorial also I like when you make sure to curl it in the right way unlike other people who do it too fast

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks.

[@jamesw6733]

Worked instantly for me. Thanks.

[@arseniosanchez]

Thank you, I am really very grateful to you for having learned how they threw that thing so perfectly.
😉👍Thank you!!!

[@daz31one]

i watch and tried multiple techniques and videos this is by far the best and simplest method....GREAT JOB thanks

[@triplethreatfishing9136]

Awesome tip. Thats the way I throw all of my nets!!

[@GeorgeBonez]

Not me. I know you guys like this patty or pancake method but I use my special “taco” method. I don’t think anyone can copy me. When I really get warmed up I break out my secret “crumpled tin foil” technique! 😂 Not a single fish can get into my net baby!!!

[@Poppabill48]

I'm going to try the snapping of the lead line method. Thanks

[@renealbaladejo3698]

Very nice tutorial Rad. Truly appreciate your video. A very constructive lesson for all Fisherman!!! Thank you. Your the best

[@jamesrahn8339]

Dude...big fan. Just gotta say this was the best how to for a 6' net I have seen. I have been trying other methods and just couldn't get it. I get it open every time with this method and great instruction!! Thank you!!!

[@mattwolynetz6539]

First video I've watched where I was able to put into practice and get a full open net! It's that spinning action with your left hand that makes it happen and is what I wasn't doing from watching other videos. Great instructional video...thx!

[@michaelweeks9317]

Sir , You've just added another fan to your club here in Texas. Well presented, concise, informative and entertain too. Bravo Mr.!

[@ka4ezy]

Nice tutorial. I bought a 5 ft. net to cast for bait from my kayak when the artificials aren't working. I'm going to try your method.

[@robertrowland8909]

Thank you sir. About time that I'm able to learn how to throw a cast net.

This helped me with a freshwater cast net that landed me alewives and thus my buddy a nearly citation size Striper Hybrid two nights ago......it nearly got me a musky, but he cut me off on the hook set.....

[@justinbennett9998]

I spent 4 hours yesterday mastering this. This really is the easiest throw I've found so far. It's idiot proof.

[@jusmeh8839]

THANK YOU! In just 5 min not only am I able to throw a nice circle but I can toss the full length of the rope with this method! It's so easy I'm hoping I can do it from my kayak.

[@talibhajjiah6640]

Thank a lot for your teachings

[@XxSylasxX]

Now this is how you throw a net. I see people throwing it over their shoulder and im just like, you tryina catch bait or catch yourself 😅

[@jonrinko290]

I have a smaller one, so I skip the 1st "curl" and just add the 1/3 of the net to my fist thats holding the net and rope. Everything else is the same for me. To think I used to put a piece in my teeth when I was younger. Great video!

[@mikedobro2838]

Just ordered it on Amazon through your link. Going to try tire line net vs mono. It looks to be easier to use than mono.

[@Rolaids65]

Thank You...You mead it look so easy

[@Lovetolivetruely]

Thank you so much for posting this. I think I have the same net and I was practicing today, and it was an ultimate fail. So you have really helped me out a lot.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I've perfected it some since making this video. What I've found is when you grab the net at the top, grab it with your hand in the position where your thumb would be pointing down toward the bottom of the net. That seems to work best. I hope that makes sense.

[@Lovetolivetruely]

@@RadReelingFishing No but maybe it will when I go practice tomorrow. 😆

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@Lovetolivetruely Grab it toward the top with your hand facing the opposite direction of how I grabbed it at 3:12

[@Lovetolivetruely]

@@RadReelingFishing I'll give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the tips.

This is way better than what iwas doing. My arm was tired from separating weights, now everything sits on the ground until I throw it. Much easier , cleaner and faster.

[@wiserdaley2191]

Very nice. I always wanna know how to throw a net the easy way without too much work. 🙂

[@Nerocaratic]

Just tried this method out with my 8’ net and i like it. Tried another way and couldn’t even get close. With This method I’m getting like a 70% spread. With a little practice I’ll be be throwing pancakes in no time. Gonna try getting some bait tomorrow. Wish me luck! And thanks for the helpful video!

[@RadReelingFishing]

You are welcome. Since making this video I've discovered that it works best if I grab the top area of the net with my thumb facing toward the lead lines. In other works opposite of how I grabbed the to of the net in the video.
