A compact, three-foot net is more manageable for throwing but has a limited coverage area, making bait capture more challenging. Weight is specified as pounds per foot of the net&#8217;s circumference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A net with 3\/4-pound lead per square foot is lightweight and easy to throw, suitable for shallow water where it sinks slowly. In contrast, deep water necessitates a pound or more of lead per foot. Mesh size refers to the diagonal measurement of each opening in the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quarter-inch mesh will snare small baits like minnows or anchovies. For larger bait and a faster sink rate, a wider mesh is better in deep water. Cast nets constructed with multiple panels open faster and fly farther. Rinse the net after each use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never hang the net so the weights are off the ground. Every few months, soak the net in\u00a0fabric softener\u00a0to prevent dry rot. Avoid storing the net wet and balled up in a bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs-on-how-to-throw-a-cast-net\"><span id=\"faqs-on-how-to-throw-a-cast-net\">FAQs On How To Throw A Cast Net<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1700115866627\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I choose the right cast net size?<\/strong> <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The size of your cast net depends on your fishing needs. Smaller nets are easier to handle but cover less area, while larger nets have a broader reach. Consider factors like the size of the baitfish and the fishing environment.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1700115978159\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I throw a cast net without it getting tangled?<\/strong> <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Practice proper technique by ensuring the net is properly spread before casting. Hold the lead line, rotate your body, and release the net smoothly to prevent tangles.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1700115979537\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the correct technique for holding a cast net?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Hold the horn (the center of the net) in your teeth or hand, with the lead line along your forearm.

As you do, the weighted end will close up. The reward for your patience and dexterity will be a whole mess of baitfish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\"><span id=\"references\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kayakanglermag.com\/tactics-skills\/tactics\/how-to-throw-a-cast-net-in-6-easy-steps\/\">kayakanglemag.com<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; How To Throw A Cast Net In 6 Easy Steps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catfishedge.com\/how-to-throw-cast-net\/\">catfishedge.com<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; How To Throw a Cast Net The Easy Way<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-also-recommend\"><span id=\"we-also-recommend\">We Also Recommend<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/kiiky.com\/articles\/how-to-make-a-fence-in-minecraft\/\">How to Make a Fence in Minecraft: Building Essentials for Virtual World Security<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/kiiky.com\/articles\/what-do-polar-bears-eat-in-minecraft-education\/\">What Do Polar Bears Eat In Minecraft?
