Your Outboard Engine Brackets Experts Shows That Not All Nets Are Created Equal

 

Stainless Marine your outboard engine brackets specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how to transform into a cast net expert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your outboard engine brackets dynamos know that cast nets introduce you to the world of on-demand fresh bait, allowing you to better control your own piscatorial destiny. Most modern cast nets are manufactured from monofilament and assembled by sewing triangular panels (aka brails) together with a lead line at the bottom to make the net sink, but not all cast nets are created equal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Net Size

 

Most recreational cast nets are offered in radius sizes from 3 to 10 feet. A 6-foot-radius net will open to 12 feet in diameter if you throw it right.

 

 

2. Bait Size

 

The optimum size of the net's mesh is based on your targeted baitfish. Your outboard engine brackets for sale experts feel that the mesh size that you select should be small enough to avoid “gilling” ­baitfish, which hastens their demise in the livewell.

 

 

3. Lead Size

 

Cast nets are typically offered in ¾ pound, 1 pound and 1½ pounds of lead weight per foot of radius. These lead weights are equally spaced at the bottom of the net.

 

 

4. Heave Ho

 

There are dozens of ways to throw a cast net, some of which are determined by its size and weight. Your boat engine brackets specialists know that there are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube that show some of the nuances, so choose one that works best for you.

 

 

5. Easy Storage

 

There are 101 uses for the ubiquitous 5-gallon bucket on a boat. … Well, make that 102, since this is the perfect container in which to stow your cast net in between engagements.

 

 

 

Choose The Right Cast Net, You'll Catch More Catfish Bait

Your Outboard Engine Brackets Analysts Discuss Why You Need to Choose the Right Tools

 

You wouldn't try to drill a hole with a hammer, using the wrong cast net is no different. Using the wrong net will slow down your results getting bait or at times make it impossible to catch shad.

 

Before I get into the specifics on choosing a cast net, it's important to understand the different parts of a cast net. As you learn about how the size and weight of each part impacts your'e ability to catch shad, this is critical.

 

How To Choose a Cast Net (And Get The Right One)

 

Check Your Local Laws 

 

Make sure it is legal to use a cast net to catch shad and learn what the largest size net you can use is.

 

Choose The Right Size Cast Net

 

Get the largest legal size you can throw in your state.

 

Nylon Or Monofilament Cast Net, Which Is Better?

 

Your outboard engine brackets dynamos want you to remember that mono does not absorb water and it tangles less than monofilament. Monofilament sinks faster in the water than nylon. Always buy nets made of monofilament.

 

Stay Away From “Gimmicks” 

 

You don't need rings or throwers or any extra junk to help you throw. Just buy a plain cast net and stay away from nets that have these gimmicks built into them and by all means don't get suckered into buying one of these items from a third part and adding it to your cast net.

 

Choose The Right Mesh Size

 

This is the size of the spacing of the mesh in the net. Mesh size impacts the size of baitfish that you can catch and how quickly the net sinks in the water.

 

 

• 
  
   
  
  

   1/4 Inch Mesh – Stay away from these. These are really for catching very small baits like ghosts minnows. These sink really slow which will be an issue in deeper water.

 

• 
  
   
  
  

  3/8 Inch Mesh –  This is a good average size for catching bait. It will catch small shad and you will have fewer issues with fish being “gilled” (their heads stuck in the net).

 

• 
  
   
  
  

  1/2 Inch Mesh – The larger the mesh the faster the net sinks. Smaller shad will get gilled in the net and some will swim through the net. 

 

• 
  
   
  
  

  5/8 Inch Mesh –  This will sink faster than the 3/8 or 1/2 inch mesh. More smaller shad will get gilled and swim through the net.

 

 

Nets with mesh sizes that are larger than these sizes listed are available but these are the sizes you really need to know about.

 

So don't forget these helpful tips on how to become a cast net expert. 1) Remember that not all nets are created equal and do your research;  2) choose the right net for the right fish;  and 3) practice proper casting techniques.
