Easy Cast Net Method for 7-8 Foot Nets

There are lots of ways to throw a cast net, and finding the one that works for you means trying different methods. Here we show a pretty simple technique that doesn't require putting the net in your mouth or over your shoulder. Just load in one hand and throw! Enjoy.

No doubt the best, easiest tutorial I've watched. As others have mentioned, others are over complicated, get you wet, bad in cold conditions. Well done 👍✅

I've been throwing a net this way for years and came back for a refresher b/c I have been having some shoulder pain. I had gotten away from using momentum of the net and twisting my hips which generates power rather than forcing it and totally relying on your arm and shoulder. Thanks for making this straight to the point video, it really helped!

One of the best explanations and demonstrations, if not the best. Thanks!

I watched too many videos that over complicated the process. This one is simplest and easiest to follow.
It is now bookmarked. Good job.

First of all Thank you!!!! I've been doing over the shoulder thing for years and I knew it never felt right and I couldn't get a decent circle so i gave up looking on utube. I finally came across your video and on the first throw it was a perfect circle. Now I'm just practicing without watching the video and feeling more and more confident. Good job Captain!!!

Wow fantastic lesson. I struggled with a 7&8’ net shrimping. I focused too much on pancaking it but I’ll practice this technique for sure. Thanks for the lesson!

My favorite way to toss a castnet. No hokie pokie put it on your shoulders dance. Quick to load and toss. I’ve seen another video of a guy throwing his 12ft just this same way and nothing but pancakes. Great instructions sir, tight lines

Thank you! So many methods. This is by far the easiest! Great video production too. Simple to follow

Extremely helpful and made easy to understand. Thanks

By far the best video on throwing nets 6 feet and over. Thanks very much!!! You took into consideration the performance anxiety that can show its head when well meaning instructors talk about holding on to the net longer with one hand etc. You were smart enough to instruct us to put our non-dominant hand next to our chest before throwing which will by nature allow that part of the net to be released last. Genius!! Thanks again. I could not believe the results.

Congratulations!!! Best video ever!!!
And without saying a word. I love it. Different angles. Different places. I love it. I will subscribe.

Thank you so much, I now know how to throw a cast net, and I found this to be the most informative video. I a tip for others that may expedite how fast you can effectively throw. The net is focused on when he is releasing the net out of his hand. loading the net was no problem but what I was doing was I was hanging onto the net way too long and it wasn’t opening up but finally I realized that he’s releasing you pretty early and I think that’s the main step in all of the steps is the release. Good luck!

The BEST video about cast net method, my respects

Going shrimping in the morning so I’ll see how well I paid attention lol

That's the same way I throw my 8' Betts Super pro. It's about 1.3lbs per foot. You did a great job explaining it 👍 I think it's a great method, easy and quick to load.

[leonardjohnson]

Thanks very much, best vid I've seen demonstrating how to do this

[usermiamiusa]

i try this method and work great, i use a 8ft black pearl 1.3, it is heavier but using this, opening is almost perfect for me, i am new on cast net, i notice that for me it is more effective hold the weight line as you explain more seconds and follow the cast net rotation, this affects pretty big the opening of the net for sure. thanks one more time

can i throw a 10 foot net with this method? i have a 8 and do it this way bc of this video and it is wore out and id like to move up to a 10 but don't want to learn a new way to throw since I'm a weekend worrier. this video helped me out a ton learning to throw the 8 so thank you for that
