You're welcome! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks so much @shermrock345! Best of luck with that handmade cast net, and thanks for the comments!

😅

Absolutely Captain! When you factor in time and materials, buying one might indeed be cheaper. That point should have been made clearer in the video. DIY isn't for everyone, but for us fogies, it’s a fun and rewarding experience much like fishing! You can buy fish and lobster at the store, but it’s a lot more fun to catch them yourself. Thank you for watching, and for the comment!

Thanks so much! The net will sink slowly without some added buoyancy, so for ballyhoo we zip-tie an empty water bottle to the hoop for flotation. Some videos show people sinking ballyhoo nets under chum to catch speedos. Never thought about using it for pinfish. Thank you for watching, and for the kind comments!

Thanks for the kind comments! Much appreciated! 👍

Great comment and helpful tip! Thanks so much!

🙂 Thank you!

Glad to hear it's working for you! Thanks so much for the kind comments!

Thank you @fishonkayakadventure for the tip! Will change to outdoor/UV black ties soon.

Next time just knit the ends together. And you won't have to worry about them ever coming apart or breaking.

Thank you, much appreciated! 👍

Thank you! 👍

It was just a regular cast net. This one was too heavy and didn't get a lot of use, so we repurposed it as a ballyhoo net. At 00:33 you'll see that one of the first steps was cutting off the weight line. Thanks for the comment!

Since installing the bumper, we've made several 700+ mile trips to the FL Keys in July/August, 95-98 deg temps, towing a 5000-lb boat at 80+ mph. Have not seen any heat issues, but those conditions aren't very challenging for these trucks. Sounds like you may tow a lot heavier/hotter, so I'm not sure this helps. Wish you all the best! Thanks for the comment!

Thank you @reellifewithq572! Much appreciated!!

Thank you so much! No doubt, holding-back briefly on the weight line with your non-dominant hand is key to opening the net. Also, since making the video, we've discovered a way to fine-tune the throw and up the "pancake" percentage! At 2:02 we "overhang" about 16-18 inches of half-net. With so many different net types, net weights, etc. 16-18 inches may not be ideal, and increasing or decreasing that length can fix a lot of partial-opening issues. So glad this method is working for you. Again thanks for watching and for the kind comment!!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! Agree, it is bad ass and would definitely look great on that Ram! Appreciate the comment.

It works great! We do plan on making a video of the net in use, probably later this summer. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!

I'm not sure of the net brand in the video, and it's not around anymore (too many repairs and tears). It was replaced with an Offshore Angler Ocean Master Premium Cast Net, 8-ft. It casts exactly the same, if not a little better (very supple material). Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Sorry to hear that! This gun wouldn't shoot a nail when the trigger was pulled, it just puffed air from the trigger area. We were lucky that a new valve fixed it. FWIW, when our Paslode framing nailer stopped firing, we had to install a full O-ring kit to get it working again. Not sure that helps, but hopefully you find the fix! Best of luck!

Thanks so much! Looks like you guys are pretty good at throwing those JuJu cast nets! Wishing you all the best! (Subscribed)

Thank you for watching and for the comment! Sorry, no link. We bought this cast net years ago and it was too heavy so it didn't get used much. That's why we used it to make a ballyhoo net. This net has a 1/2" mesh. What size are the nets you are finding?

Make your your own. It's pretty easy but time consuming

I have not tried it with a 10 footer, so I'm not sure. But, I think one of the reasons people use other methods for larger nets is all the extra weight. With this method one arm does most of the work, which works fine up to a point, then it's just too heavy to manage one handed. I actually had an 8' net that was too heavy for this method, and that net got re-purposed into a ballyhoo net! If you try it out on a 10 footer, let us know how it goes! Thanks so much!

I might go ahead and get a 10 footer and try my luck. This method works so good for me on the 8 and it doesn’t take much effort so I’m thinking i will be fine on the 10

Awesome! Good luck!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Awesome! That probably is an easier and faster method. Thank you for the comment!

That's great! Thank you for the comment!
