Cast Net Advice
Posted on 6/2/26 at 7:07 am
Posted on 6/2/26 at 7:07 am
I am trying to buy a cast net and looking for some recommendations on which to buy. There are many sizes with different netting/weights etc. I mostly want it for cast netting shrimp/crabs and bait. I am thinking a 6' radius/12' diameter would be a good place for me to start.
Any recommendations on which brand to buy and netting size? I don't know if its better to spend more on one like this
Bait Buster
or get a cheaper one like this for 1/3 the price

In Louisiana, the maximum size for a cast net is 8.5 feet in diameter, and it must be thrown by hand without mechanical assistance.

I would buy a cheaper one at first. 6 is a good place to start if you have never found one. Buy a cheaper one because you are going to get it hung up and get upset when it happens but less upset over a $50 one than a $150 one.

The max is 8.5' in radius

Wrong 8.5 feet in radius, 17 feet in diameter.

Yeah, though the "Perfect Circle" device that helps the net open properly is allowed, it's considered a passive device.
