Betts 3-Foot Tyzac Nylon Cast Net with Iron Weights, 3/8-Inch Mesh, Boxed

I have bought this net before. It is a good net for the money. It performs well and holds up good. I will continue to buy these.

This net is just east to throw and is the perfect size and weight when bait is plentiful. It is easy to go from the water to my bait tank and not touch the bait and also does not catch too many at once to mange. I do have larger and heavier nets for when bait gets scattered.

My 11 year old son was able to figure out how to throw this after 30 minutes of practicing on the beach. Now he takes this net with him every from the lakes to the beaches. Catches tons of bait fish and he makes it look so easy! Small enough to catch butter fish and peanut bunkers.

Box was damaged other everything is ok

Easy to throw and seems durable

Seems high quality. Works as it should. My 5yo is not exactly big for his age and he can work it perfectly. He has caught some perch and loses his mind every time he pulls something in.

I bought this net and was hopeful due to the great ratings this net had. Here are my concerns after buying mine... For the money, the quality is slightly underwhelming. It is a decent net, but the small-black line that hold the weights on the thicker main line (that makes up the circumference of the net) are flimsy and WILL come undone in some areas after some light use. I suppose this could be fixed by adding your own paracord around the circumference of the net and fastening them on both sides of the weights with zip-ties but I do not typically buy stuff just to improve them myself. The weights are some kind of plastic which actually is not a problem. the slightly lighter weight makes the net easier to manage than the full on lead weights. Not a big issue unless you absolutely LOVE lead weights. The net spreads fine as long as you throw it properly of course but you may want to condition the net before use by soaking in water with fabric softener for 12-24 hours. By doing this, the net will lose most of the rigid creases from packaging and allows the net to become more malleable. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and air dry (NOT IN THE SUN) before use.Overall, it is a fun net and I caught quite a bit of small brim with it just for practice. It works, but note that it is not all that sturdy and you may need to mend some of the netting and weight lines from time to time. If this concerns you, then just get a sturdier net. I understand that wear-and-tear is inevitable, however, I was not expecting to have to start mending it so soon.If you are new to cast-netting, then please do research on net care, what to look for in a net, and some DIY maintenance on cast nets before buying.LAST THING- IMPORTANT: For all new to cast-netting, review your state's laws regarding net size. Typically, stores in your state will not sell illegal size nets but here on Amazon they sell all kinds of sizes. Be sure the diameter of this or any net does not exceed your state's regulations.Hope this helps and good luck!

Does what I ask it to well
