Cast nets are rapidly becoming a favorite way to catch almost all kinds of bait. With 3/4 pounds of lead weight per radius-foot, the net sinks fast and prevents bait escape. Also, they are made of monofilament nylon, which does not absorb water like regular nylon. These cast nets are high count, heavy-duty, 80-pound test braille lines with a floating, 20-foot long throwline and a high quality, nickel-plate swivel.
