Cast Net Throwing Instructions for 6' Radius Cast Nets and Larger

Cast Net instructions are right handed. Simply reverse hands and sides to throw your cast net left handed



Cinch rope around your left
wrist and coil the hand-line
into left hand as shown.
Grab castnet with left hand
just below horn


Extend left arm and grab
the net again at pocket
height with right hand.


Transfer castnet back into left
hand. At this point all
of the net should be in
your left hand with the
lead line resting on the
ground.


Reach down from where your
left thumb and forefinger meet
and divide your cast net
in half.


At this point, you should
have the hand-line, the
horn, and half of the net
in your left hand, and
the other half of the net in your
right hand.


Roll the half of the net
in your right hand over
your left thumb and
release.


You now have two clumps
of lead line at the bottom
of the net. A high section
over your thumb and a low
section hanging from
your left hand.


Grab the lead line with
your right hand where the
high and the low clumps of
lead line meet.


Place the lead line
gently in your front teeth
(Be careful not to put the lead or net
itself in your teeth, only the
rope between the leads.)


Reach down with your right
hand and pick up the lead
line hanging from your teeth with
your thumb and forefinger.


Turn your right palm up,
bringing it up near your left
hand and fold the netting
over your left thumb back
into your right hand.


Both of your hands should
be somewhat close together
and palm up. You are loaded
and ready to throw your cast net at
this point.


Stand facing left of your
target. Keeping both of your
hands together, simulaneously
rotate your body and hands
ninety degrees to your left.
Without stopping, immediately
rotate back toward your
target in one
smooth continuous motion.
(Be sure to keep
your arm outstretched)


Release your cast net at a slight
upward angle in the direction
of your target.
(Be careful not to
overpower your throw).

The cast net should open into
a circular form.
Pull on the throw-line to
close the net at the
desired depth.

To dump your live bait, simply hold
over a bucket or bait well
and pick up the horn of
the castnet and release the
hand line. The bait should
fall out the bottom of the net.
