Catch more live bait effectively by learning how to throw a cast net like a pro. Read on for our top tips to help your live bait collecting vastly improve.<\/p>\n

Castnets are the most productive and efficient bait collecting tool when put in the right hands and when used at the right times.<\/p>\n

It takes some time and practice to be able to throw a castnet properly, but once you\u2019ve gotten the hang of it, you can expect your bait catching sessions to be much more efficient.<\/p>\n

In this video, Florida fishing local Darcizzle<\/a>, an avid and highly experienced angler shows us how to properly load and throw a castnet<\/a> the easy way.<\/p>\n

Darci takes us step by step, explaining the basics, terminology and parts of the castnet extremely well.<\/p>\n

Proceeds to show us how to properly coil the hand line, measure the net length, laying the net over your throwing hand and eventually the throwing technique.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the parts of the net.<\/p>\n

The six main parts of the castnet<\/h2>\n

\"\"First is the handline<\/strong>. It is used to pull the net back up to you after making a throw.<\/p>\n

This is what connects the angler to the bait, so make sure that you secure the wrist band on your arm properly.\"\"Next, we have the swivel<\/strong> which attaches the handline to the brail lines.<\/p>\n

The brail lines<\/strong> are then tied to the lead line in even sections which will then be pulled inwards through the horn, tucking the net inwards to trap the fish.<\/p>\n

The horn<\/strong> is also the attachment point for the net opposite to the lead line at the bottom.
