LEE Fisher SPORTSNets

The quality exceeds the Betts nets in the same price range by far. They are more supple, less stiff...this makes throwing and handling the net much easier. I have had MANY cast nets, this is my favorite, with the exception of a Calusa net, but that net was about 4 times as expensive, and no less resistant to the oyster beds. Great net, great price ! 2019 This review was from 2015. after 4 years of ownership, this is still my go-to net, I only use my other nets when I fear the oyster beds might claim some or all of the net. The net is even more supple now.

This works perfectly for catching live bait. I was using a 5' Walmart cast net with plastic weights and in water deeper than a couple feet, the bait would scatter before the net sunk. The metal weights drop the net fast and I catch bait a lot quicker and easier now. I love this net!

First of all the cast net is 6' RADIUS, not diameter as the description says. It is 12' Diameter so make sure you know that in case it is illegal in your state. I'm still learning how to use it by throwing in the backyard and it fells really soft and smooth so far. But I wanted to get this posted since the description is wrong. A great net and not a bad price for what you get, no tears or anything. Can't wait to get the cast down so I can actually use it!

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!

For the price, this thing is perfect. I use it to cast for bait below a dam in pools 2-5' deep. The net throws easily, sinks fast, and closes well. The 3/8" is perfect for 4-6" shad. Any larger mesh and they get their heads and gills stuck in the holes and die. However, for open water and larger bait you could go up to a 1" mesh to increase its sink rate.

The bucket they use for packing is too small...whoever tried to put an eight foot net in this small bucket failed...2 sections of the net were hanging out and smashed by the lid thus ruining the integrity and strength of the net...I gave it 3 stars because the net actually felt well made....I was disappointed I never got to try it....and I do have empathy for the person who packaged the net...they were given an impossible task...I could not get the net back in the bucket either.

Lee Fisher cast nets are my favorite to throw. I throw in the rivers mostly so I do lose them from time to time. After buying cheap nets due to loosing them I have just started sucking it up and paying for the Lee Fishers due to catching more bait and better overall net for better openings over the cheaper nets. In fact I wish I could return the 3 cheaper nets I have in my boat as they just sit as Lee Fisher nets I always grab first.

I catch my bait the same day I go fishing twice a week so the dependability of my cast net is extremely important to me. I got the 8 foot net and could not be happier with it. For a long time I suffered using a 5 foot net. A bigger net will get you more live bait in your bucket in a much faster time. This net really has an unbeatable price. It is heavy and spreads open nicely, especially when casting for distance. I was so happy with this net that when the first one I bought got snagged on the sea bottom and couldn't be pulled up, I quickly purchased the same exact one. It will save you tons of money. Live bait is expensive to the point where buying it wouldn't make fishing worth it. Catching your bait and keeping them alive will not only make fishing affordable, but also a lot more productive.

A quality net for a great price. Works great .

Works good a little on the large size makes it hard to throw . 4 ft would have been better

Quality product

Catches lots of fish
