Mid Lakes Nylon Minnow Seine 414-4 x 4
The Mid Lakes Nylon Minnow Seine 414-4 x 4 is a workhorse net for anglers who need to collect live bait or sample fish populations in lakes, ponds, and shallow streams. Built from durable Cumberland nylon rather than cotton or polyester, this seine resists water absorption and won't degrade as quickly as natural fibers—a real advantage when you're working wet conditions day after day. At 4 feet tall with quarter-inch mesh, it's sized for small fish and minnow collection without the bulk or maintenance headaches of older net designs.
The construction is straightforward and built to last. Rolled corners prevent the mesh from tearing when you're dragging through vegetation or rocky bottom, and the nylon naturally resists mildew, so it won't rot in storage or develop odors over time. Lead sinkers along the bottom edge keep the net deployed and sinking evenly, while water-resistant floats on the top maintain the seine's working shape and keep it riding where you need it.
Whether you're a catfish angler stocking your own bait, a creek sampler, or someone managing a pond, this net handles the job without demanding constant care. Skip the hassle of nets that absorb water, get heavier as they soak, and fall apart after a season or two. The Mid Lakes design is practical, proven, and made to earn its place in your tackle setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size fish and minnows can this seine collect?
The quarter-inch mesh is designed to capture minnows and small fish efficiently. It's ideal for bait collection and sampling, not for larger species.
Will this net absorb water and get heavier over time?
No. The nylon construction resists water absorption, so the seine stays light and manageable even after extended use in wet conditions—unlike cotton or polyester nets that soak up water.
How do I store this net without it rotting or developing odors?
The nylon is mildew-resistant, which means it resists rot and odor buildup in storage. You can store it wet or dry without the degradation problems of natural fiber nets.
What are the lead sinkers and floats for?
The lead sinkers along the bottom edge keep the net deployed and sinking evenly, while the water-resistant floats on the top maintain the seine's shape and keep it riding at the proper working depth.
