Cast Net - Help!

I've gone through 2 cheap 6' cast nets and they've been awful. There are the bottom shelf $25 cast nets at Walmart.
Im to the point when I'd spend my last genie in a lamp wish on the best 6' or 8' cast net money can buy.
If you had a blank check for a cast net, what would you get?

That was my first thought but the ones I've bought just fall apart. Leader lines coming untied and crap like that.

I throw a cast net almost every day from April through late October. I mainly throw 9 ft 1/2" mesh with i think 1.2 lbs per foot but only if im throwing off of my boat. I throw a 7' 3/8" mesh at I think 1 lb per foot if I'm throwing around docks or rocks. And then a nice taped net for winter time when I need a lot of depth.
I've never had an issue with a Betts or Fitec when it comes to threadfin or gizzard shad, but I'm not casting fir big mullet. Those off brand Amazon nets suck.

I agree

I have two walmarks 6’ nets and unless you hang them up on a Buick they’re fine. Bet you’re throwing from the bank at C Point off the rocks?? Spending on a net for that area isn’t going to be cost effective. Might look for a 4’ that you can throw a far piece and pull faster.

Hah, yeah. I throw at c point by the boat launch and by the boat slips.
Its not that I'm getting hung up it's just the ones I use feel cheap.

Get ready, C Pt will be down 9-10 months once they start the rebuild.

Yeah I know. Excited for the upgrades but bummed I can't fish there.
It's so close to my house and so easy to pop in catch some shrimp or a few mullet and snag a wide variety or fish.
Are there any articles or plans available for the upcoming work?

^^^This is your answer right here. I have 2 of his nets and they are great. Give him a call and he will build you a net to your specs.

That's a hell of a cast net to throw.
