I throw an 8ft walmart special. Never have to makr more than a few throws. The first throw the net is a little stiff but no big deal. Ive heard people soaking theirs in walmart so they stay soft

Cast nets come in diff hole sizes & weights.
Consider this also. How deep will u need it to sink & what size bait are u going after. Maybe get a few diff kinda to cover all the possibilities... I threw just for shrimp in 5-10 ft water. I had a 1/4" hole . Can't remember weight. |

more lead = faster fall rate = higher catch percentage = more expensive nets have more weight
Soak your cast nets for a day in a mixture of a 1/2 cup of fabric softener and 3 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket. Then rinse with fresh water. This will leave the net much more supple and easier to throw. |

I always hold with my 2 hands to stay DRY most of the day instead of over shoulder. I never hold it in my teeth that would make me throw up.
