I have had a 10 ft cast net with a large hole in it, so I was wondering if you guys know of any place that is not to expensive where I can get it fixed..

if you have patience you could fix it yourself there is a little plastic tool maybe one of the pros with the computer like CE could post a pic but if you want it look the same need to pay i fix my nets all the time .

Your going to have to do it yourself nobody around here fix nets anymore. I believe there is a guy in tampa that repair's them but by time you ship it to him and back,plus cost of repair you can just buy a new net. I had a hard time finding someone to fix my 12'. I castnetted so much bait one day that the mesh came off the horn.

Like permitchaser said just do it yourself. I found the easyiest way is if you have a big hole just cut out a pieace of mesh from a cheap net and tie the patch part onto the net.

Next time you get your net gets stuck just go in and get it instead of ripping it. Goodluck

The tool is called a net shuttle.



I repaired a cast net of mine using bridal veil instead of going through and making a panel of monofiliment to use as a patch.



Cut the bridal viel to the hole size that needs repair and tie/knot it into the existing net with thin mono....just make sure to add a drop of super glue to your knots and cut their tag ends as close as possible.

LOL

Normally I like to fix everything by myself, but because Im having a tough semester in school I really dont have the time or the patience to fix it, how much would you charge.? The net is pretty much "like new" exept for the 4ft long gash ( ) that looks as if it was cut with a knife....



Funny thing you say that... A buddy and I actually found the net inside the boca inlet about a year ago, we had to jump in to "save" it..

Interesting.... maybe I can build something like that, It looks like weaveing line in and out the netting with that tool would be alot easyer rather than using a long strand of line.... I guess I can give it a try sometime when im free

thanks cuban they have smaller ones for mono .that guy in the pic is a pro it looks easy but its not

Yeah i do the same if my net gets caught, its the only reason ive had it for so long.

I think Saturday night live should do a skit on the "how to throw a cast net" video demonstration in this URL....if you haven't seen this video...you should. I thought it was hilarious....I was so damn confused after watching....it would keep me from ever throwing one.

Don't get me wrong....I think these instructional videos are great.
I just thought the one on how to throw a cast net was funny.
