Lee Fisher Sports Mako Cast Net 7 Ft (3/8" SQ Mesh)

Wanted to move up to a bigger net and thought I would give this a try. At first I couldn't get it to open and I struggled with throwing it; thought maybe it was too big for me (I am 5'4"). Wouldn't give up and on day three, I figured out the way to properly hold this net as compared to my last one. Now I am scooping in the shrimp!

Haven't used this net in the water yet, but tossed it in my lawn and love it. This is an upgrade from a small 4.5ft radius net. This net is big! I was afraid I would struggle to throw it, but it is an easy net to use. Couple casts and I had a nice pancake hitting my lawn. It is weighted nicely and should get down on top of the bait fish quickly. It folds back up and into the storage bucket very well, which my previous net did not. Looking forward to filling this thing up with Shad! Buy this net, its a great value.

Ordered this 7 foot radius but got sent a 6 ft net. Even though container was clearly labeled as 6 ft size, someone stuck a bar code sticker on it and labeled it as a 7 ft radius. Measured and weighed it and it is 6 ft. and 6.15 lbs. Since there is over $11 price difference, I will have to return it. After seeing that it is cheaply built, I will probably buy a more expensive net,as I already have a 6 ft Fitec Super Spreader and was looking for an upgrade in quality. This is priced right for beginners and it comes in a nice little storage bucket. Lee Fisher nets were previously built in Florida and had a reputation for quality. The China version is typical entry level,but has real lead weights, not plastic coated steel ones. My first return ever on an Amazon purchase!

Works great....

So far the net has proven to be "okay". I find a lot of the stiching to stretch out, then eventually burst. So far I've had to mend 4 holes that just continuously unravel into bigger holes if left unfixed. Im not in the US right now, so I didn't bother contacting amazon or the seller.I've been throwing nets since I was about 12...I'm 38 now. I've always used my grandfather's net that was recently stolen. He recently became ill and a bunch of family (some unknown) came over and it suddenly went missing. It was the one I learned to use and what I had been using ever since. I don't know the brand of it so I decided to try out this one. Believe it or not, my grandfather's net never tore....so the fact that this tore within the first month tells me this isn't what we had. I don't regret buying it, but I would not buy again. I wish I could get my grandfather's net back, but until then, the search continues for the right one.

Great net and even better price!!!

The VERY FIRST time I threw it, it made a nice pancake, when I gently began to draw it in, the swivel came apart, loosing all but the rope and first 1/3 of the swivel.

This is a poorly constructed skirt net. Even though it is a 7 foot net, and should therefore open up to a 14 foot wide circle, it throws more like a 4 foot panel net, and can barely open up to six or seven feet wide.That being said, it is cheap, and if you're throwing shallow over plentiful bait, it will catch bait.But even a reasonably constructed panel net will be far less frustrating and far more fruitful.
