How To Throw A 4ft Cast Net Without Using Your Mouth [Easy Method]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Cast nets are one of the best tools for kids to enjoy fishing because they almost guarantee that at least something will be caught, and they allow for constant action.
But few kids know how to properly throw a cast net...
They either have never been exposed to cast nets at all, or they're using a method that is not efficient (or sometimes using methods that don't work at all).
So we made this video to show an easy method of throwing a 4 ft cast net that allows for the young anglers to successfully throw a net with the following benefits:
1. They don't have to put the net in their mouths so you don't have to worry about your kids getting mud, dirt, and who knows what else that might get on the net from throwing it in ponds, lakes, and even the ocean.
Being able to throw a cast net without using your mouth is also huge for kids (or adults) with braces. The last thing you want is a cast net getting stuck to your braces while tossing. OUCH!
2. It doesn't require the commonly used helicopter throw so your kids can learn the proper technique that doesn't require much strength at all.
Bonus Benefit: This method of throwing a 4 ft cast net allows for the entire net to be held with just two hands which allows for keeping dry even after multiple casts (unlike the other methods where the net has to be held on the shoulder or in the mouth).
Note: This method is difficult to use for bigger nets, so I recommend switching to the method shown in this great tutorial for nets in the 10 ft range:

Thank you Shawna! I am 68 years old and just threw my first successful cast! I caught a pair of Rayban sunglasses! You are inspirational.
After trying about half a dozen different methods from youtube (with zero success) this one worked perfectly for my uncoordinated self. I'm able to pancake a 4' net every time now! Thanks!
I love the dance that she does after throwing the net! : )
This is the best video out there by far. Very well explained and simple. I throw my net for the first time using this technique and I
had a net full of bait. Very happy!
Thanks so much for leaving the nice comment. Glad to see that you enjoyed this cast net throwing video. Fish On!
Dude thank you so much growing up nobody ever taught me this I've learned all I need to learn from this just one video thank you!
I love that little happy dance!!!!! Teaching my 10 yo this Saturday
Have fun!
Good work Shona, she is awesome.
Thank you! I watched several videos and read the instructions numerous times and still couldn't figure it out. This video did it for me! Thanks again.
Great job Shawna. Just signed up recently to your Salt Strong website. I'm a 5' cast net guy. Catches all the varieties of bait down here in Key West.
+Key West Kayak Fishing Thanks for signing up to our website and for making time to leave the nice comment on this cast net throwing video. Fish On!
Aw man, this was awesome! So far the two easiest way to do this is this way and Steve's way. Love Key West Kayak Fishing's channel, hello to both from Homestead FL!
I love seeing someone taking a child outdoors best videos.
This is awesome guys. I have a son who just turned four and I couldn't imagine him throwing a net. SALT STRONG!
+HookedOnTheBay Thanks Hookedonthebay! Get him out there and give it a try. As you can see, it doesn't take much strength. It's more technique and where you hold the net. Fish On and live Salt Strong!
Great video. I have a 12 year old girl that wants to trow a cast net. I love this technique.
+Kayak Chris Thanks for sharing this cast net throwing technique with your daughter. She'll certainly be a hero to others her age who either don't know how to throw a cast net or those who have to use their mouth and/or do the helicopter throw. Fish On!
She did a great job
That's super impressive! not sure if she realizes she's now the bait catcher for life lol.. great job!!
+giuseppeA10 Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment. Yes, she'll be a great bait catcher for many years.... the art of creating a lifetime stream of fresh bait was displayed by my dad getting my brother and I cast nets when we were 4 years old and getting us hooked on netting fish early.
He then kept getting us bigger nets as we grew so his livewells could get filled faster and faster... very smart move:)
This was awesome to watch! Definitely one of the easiest methods on youtube.
Great video! I;ve just started fishing about a year ago on a kayak. I've started to pier fish so that I can take our 7yr old son..and he loves it. Just purchased a small 4 foot bait net and taught him off your video. He does alright! Catching fish is fun for him...even with net! Thanks!. PS We are in Tampa as well...cool to learn from someone local!
This is a great video for showing how to teach little ones to throw a cast net. I am writing a story about this that U hope will one day be published as a children picture book.
Thank you men this video was super helpful, I just buy a net yesterday and today men ufff... Bad bad.but with your technic I was able to do good.
Thanks! This is the only way I found that worked for me and by the way, I was 4 years old 56 years ago!
Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment. Glad to see that you enjoyed this cast net throwing video. Tight Lines!
Thank for the video, I'm 46 and struggling to get a good toss definitely trying your technique.
Glad to help! Make sure to ask any questions over in the Community where we have coaches available to help www.saltstrong.com/
Thanks, nothing feels better than watching a 4 year old do something you can’t 😂
Agree! But we can all learn!
Thanks for the video,my home state ( Wv) regulates us to using cast nets with a diameter no larger than 6',that is pretty restrictive.Oh,by the way,we share the same last name,could be we are long lost net casting cousins.
Good job Shawna!!!
Thanks for checking it out!
AMAZING VIDEO, IM A KID AND I LOVE TO FISH!!!!!, THIS HELPS ME ALOT!!!!!!
Such an awesome video, I believe she'll be outfishing you two pretty soon hahaha....memories to cherish especially for her years down the road! Good job guys!
+Nelson Ortiz Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment Nelson! Yes, this will be a fun video to watch with her 10+ years from now.
great video love the tip made it easy to understand and far better then putting that five yr old cast net in mouth just to catch some bait.
+Debest Phone Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment. Yes, I certainly wish that I learned how to throw a cast net without using my mouth when I was a kid... it especially would have been nice to know when I had braces:)
Good on ya Shawna!
I guess you are thow'n the bigger nets now.
So cute and though better then I can good job Shona
Alright she did a great better than my sandwich net lol I’m so used to a 16 ft net , due to regulations I bought a 4 footer lol couldn’t get the net to open to save my life I’m going to give it a try, if she can I hope I can
Great video, just got a 4ft and started casting pancakes after pancakes after only 10 minutes.
Nice work!
Can you do a tutorial on the dance at the end? I can’t seem to get that part correct ;-)
Haha!
New sub here , Great video I just bought a cast net last weekend and needed this video !
Just lost my 21 year old sister named seannah due to cancer and fishing was the first thing that got me up and doing things besides laying in bed. Just got my first ever cast net and never learned to throw one until watching this video and coincidentally the girls name in the video was Shawna, almost feels like I was meant to watch this or something.
So sorry to hear about your sister. 🙏
Hahaha.... She though it better than i ever have. I definitely will try this method out. Thanks for the lesson

This really helped a lot. Thank you so much
Thanks for your video
thank you shonu.
Awesome thanks! Are you in the Carolinas by chance? Just bought 1 if these.
I'm repairing an 8 foot cast net, What knot do you use for Braille to lead line?
Good lesson, thanks.
+J Allred Thanks for making time to leave the nice comment on this cast net video tutorial for kids. Fish On!
That was impressive!!!😀
how long do you let it set before you pull back and how fast do you pull, I was having an issue with the net wadding up?
If you're fishing an open sand flat, you can let it sink down to the bottom and pull up. Give the net some line and time to open up around the bait and then pull it back towards you.
Would this work for a 5 ft net if I’m 4’8 about or should I use the more advanced method?
Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community
where the coaches spend their time. The blog can be found here: www.saltstrong.com/articles/how-to-throw-a-cast-net/
Thank you very much sir
Never done it myself but now I could.
+Janie Marshall Yes, it's not nearly as difficult as most people think... just takes the proper loading and a basic toss to open up a cast net. Fish On!
Shouldn't this be done with strong side (right, for most folks)?
thanks for the tips.....
+Rosa Sanchez Our pleasure Rosa!
I love her reaction, that's a big girl throw if I ever seen one
She did great!
I'm going to try this right now and I'm not going home until I get 5 good ones in a row lol
Good stuff.
+angry fish Thanks for making time to leave a comment on this cast net throwing video. Fish On!
Thx this realy helps alot for throwing wnd i subscribed
What brand net is that ? Thanks, great vid!
I can't recall the brand... just a walmart special:)
She still throws it better than me
Are you left or right handed?
HEY DUDE QUESTION CAN YOU USE THE NET WITH ONE HAND FIGURED I'D ASK AND SEE IF IT CAN BE DONE ,GET BACK TO ME IF CAN A BUDDY OF MINE LOST HIS ARM AND HAND IN AN ACCIDENT NO USE AT ALL IF CAN GET BACK WILL SHOW HIM BECAUSE HE STILL DOES LOVE FISHING BUT MISSES SOME OF WHAT CAN DO THANKS GUY ENJOY..
Can you do the same with a bigger net or no?
+Bryden Alvarez Yes, but it becomes increasingly difficult as the net size increases. For bigger nets (8 ft and above), I recommend the approach described in this video: www.saltstrong.com/articles/how-to-throw-a-cast-net/
I told my son, son if you work with the commercial fisherman you can learn to catch bait and bait the hooks. When you get real good at it you can be promoted to be a master baiter!
I subscribed you are great
Thanks for subscribing!
Cool.
👍👍
That's awesome
Thanks Brett
Salt Strong love to see the youngsters throwing the nets I grew up chunking nets

IM 4 ft and I pancaked a 6ft cast net with this method

+Wendy Smith Thanks for making time to leave a comment on this cast net video.
I get why I can’t do it like her.. a 4 year old with a 4 ft cast net.. so if I’m 28 I need a 28 ft cast net.. omg I’m so dumb
