Betts Cast Net Mono 3/8" 6' Radius

The Betts Cast Net Mono 3/8" 6' Radius is a monofilament cast net built for serious anglers who want reliable performance without the pro-series price tag. Whether you're working shallow flats, bait-fishing coastal waters, or stocking a pond, this net delivers the sink speed and durability expected of higher-end models. The 6-foot radius opening gives you solid coverage for net casts, while the monofilament line resists saltwater corrosion and tangling better than traditional materials.

What sets this cast net apart is its engineered sink rate—designed to close fast and hold baitfish or panfish without delay. Total weight comes in well under 3/4 pound per foot, so you're not fighting excess mass on repeated throws. That matters when you're casting all day. The net comes complete with throwing instructions, so you can get working right out of the bag whether you're new to cast nets or returning to the technique.

Betts has been making tackle for working anglers for decades, and this net reflects that practical heritage. It's not flashy, but it works—the kind of gear that earns its place in your boat or truck bed and stays there season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cast net used for?

Cast nets are hand-thrown nets designed to capture live baitfish, panfish, or mullet in shallow water. They're essential for live-bait anglers, fly-fishing guides restocking, and anyone working coastal or freshwater flats.

Why choose monofilament over other cast net materials?

Monofilament resists saltwater corrosion better than many alternatives and tangles less during storage and casting. It's also durable enough to handle repeated use without significant wear.

How does the 6-foot radius compare to other cast net sizes?

A 6-foot radius cast net opens to roughly a 12-foot diameter on the water, giving you solid coverage for most shallow-water situations. It's a practical middle-ground size—large enough to be effective, small enough to handle and throw repeatedly without fatigue.

Does this net come with instructions?

Yes. The net includes complete how-to instructions for throwing and care.
