I'm in the market for a new cast net and wanted to get your guys input on what's good, manufacturer and model if you know. I'm thinking (not sure if this is right or not) of a 1/2" - 4' net with 1.5#/foot of weight, but having trouble finding one like this. Seems that for 1.5#/foot you need to bump up to a 5' net, which is illegal at Mead/Mohave...
I have an old 3' net that I dug out of storage, and while it worked, I would rather get something better.
Thanks, Dan

IMO Betts Old Salt cast net is my net of choice.
3/8" by 4 foot
Also Bass Pro Shop has "gear guard" for around $15.
For any reason.....no questions asked, for two years you can return the net for a replacement one.
All you have to pay is the taxes (maybe $4.50 @ 8.25%)
So you will save around $35 per net.
Now if you want to add some weights to your net....
Take some weights off your old net and cut them lengthwise. Now crimp them on the new net.
Don't forget to take the extra weights off when you use the gear guard exchange. You will want them for the new net.

Excellent, I have some BPS points too ;-)
Do you use the net as-is, or did you add weight to it?

As is there is a pound per foot of weights.
So 4 ft = 4 pounds.
