Shweet Bossies

Have you tried this method of throwing the CastNet yet?

Has anybody tried it and seen how easy it is yet?

nw that is a top video. i have thrown a net once at tugela. was way more difficult as shown here. gonna get me a net tomorrow.

whats the furthest u can throw that thing?. would like to try it of the rocks in the skei. net might get buggered though?. would be nice to net some blacktail/karanteen or shad for live bait

The rope that it comes with is about 3 meters long, you can add on, but I'm not sure how far it will effective wrt to opening fully

Big secret with these 6ft Cast nets... they all come with a rope that is way too short. So when you throw it, the rope length stops the net from opening properly.
I have lengthened the throw rope to about 10-12m, which is about as far as I can throw it... the ropes that many of the nets come with are way too short, which causes the net to pull back on itself when throwing, and it snags or doesn't open properly. Important to have a good length of rope...

reefman being in cape town wind is always a factor.... how does wind affect it and how can you combat wind when using the net?

Totally gobsmacked at how simple this technique is yet so effective. Cast netting has been my Achilles heel but now all that will change.... + cred Reefs.

Nee daas niks innie lagoon nie...

REEFMAN · « **Reply #33 on:** September 02, 2011, 01:16:13 PM »

Suggestion: You guys must first practice the technique at home on the grass... much easier to learn it there than trying at the beach in the wind! Once you've got it taped at home, it becomes like old hat at the beach...

Great Demo Reefz!!

Looks easier and more effective than mine.

I only get a good spread half the time, so this one will be practised!!

hi UA

can someone please point me in the direction of were to get a propper cast net?.

was in dbn today and popped into a well known shop and he had 2 nets for sale.

the shop owner did an admirable thing by telling me that they not all that great and says i should look for a net called the super spreader.

says its 6 ft that opens to 12ft when thrown....or something like that. anyone know of this?.

took the lytie to the bay today and managed 8 mullet (transkei bait).... fishing drift bait. there were thousands like 3m from us. would have been a perfect practice launch

so this super spreader....anyone know of it?

Hi Habib - Know what u talking about. I know of a sport shop in KNYSNA if u dare postage cost etc. I do not know if they are the Super spreader u talking about , but do know they sell quality netts.
