Betts Cast Net Mono 3/8" 31/2' Radius

The Betts Cast Net Mono 3/8" 31/2' Radius is a versatile cast net built for anglers who want reliable performance without the premium price tag. With a 31-foot radius spread, this monofilament net covers serious water fast—ideal for baitcasting, live bait collection, and general freshwater or inshore fishing. Betts nets are known for punching above their weight class; this model delivers quality and durability that rivals nets in higher price brackets, so you get a working tool, not an entry-level compromise.

Cast nets reward practice, and a good net makes the learning curve less frustrating. The 3/8-inch mesh works across a range of baitfish sizes and conditions. The monofilament construction offers visibility in water and decent durability for regular use. At under three-quarters of a pound per foot, the net is light enough to handle repeatedly without arm fatigue, yet it's engineered to sink quickly and completely—critical for consistent spreads and reliable closures. That's the difference between a net that pockets bait reliably and one that leaves fish escaping at the rim.

Betts includes detailed casting instructions with every net, so you're not guessing at technique out of the box. Whether you're filling a livewell, collecting shiners for pike, or netting mullet and herring for saltwater trips, this cast net earns its place in your boat or tackle bag.
