How To Easily Throw a Six or Eight Foot Cast Net From Shore, Boat or Kayak

Easy way to throw a cast net without putting a lead line in your mouth or draping the net over a shoulder. This method is really simple to learn and use from shore, in a boat or even from a kayak. I use this method when I'm standing in my kayak in deep or shallow water and it work s great.

Here's a brief outline of the process 6' or 8' net:
1. Coil the rope
2. Stretch the net
3 Make sure the braille lines are free from twists or tangles
4. Clear the lead line of any tangles
5. Grab the net about one to one and a half feet down from the yoke
6. Divide the net into thirds
7. Create a loop in net around the center of your thigh
8. Grab the third of the net opposite of where the rope is coiled and lay it in the opposite hand, grip it.
9. Grab one lead
10. Load, twist, throw and spin the net
With some practice you will discover that this is an easy way to throw a cast net without putting lead lines in your mouth or having to drape the net over your shoulder.

Thanks for the lesson on throwing the net. Super easy and much easier on my 64 year old shoulder. I will share this.

[@NickJamess]

To anyone who hasn't seen JC's videos, they're great. Always tons of information, easy to follow, and he is having fun. Keep it up JC! You're the man.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for the encouraging words, greatly appreciated.

[@mattwolynetz6539]

First video I've watched where I was able to put into practice and get a full open net! It's that spinning action with your left hand that makes it happen and is what I wasn't doing from watching other videos. Great instructional video...thx!

[@DeaconRob]

Thank you sir! Because of you, I went out to the lake with my kids, netted some shad and landed a nice size largemouth. May God bless you!

[@GiveItAGoBakes]

My husband just got into fishing. I was so excited I knew you already because I knew I was going to be taught in a way I could get it! Thanks JC

[@robertnelson1526]

Thank you from Australia 67 never thrown a net before play your happy smile in video about ten times practiced in the lounge with out the throw went out side opened first time your the best .

[@franklloyd96]

So, the seller experienced challenges with the great interruption in the supply chain, but never gave up in getting me the kayak. Great integrity and we’re always kind and helpful…

[@alanwall3408]

Thanks for the video. Your style is the easy I’ve ever tried. By doing this I caught the most bait at once than I ever have.

[@tg1cent765]

Only video that's made me successful at throwing a cast net. Thank you!!!

[@stephenbeckers2923]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have watched and tried to duplicate countless videos on how to cast my 6ft net and failed miserably. Until I watched your very detailed video, and you took it a step farther by explaining how to flip the lead line under to create the spin required to open the net. Every other video that I have watched, failed to point that little nugget out! I was able to throw a perfect pancake on my second try. I liked and of course subscribed. Again thanks for taking the time to create this video for us newbies.

[@kennethslough5747]

Yep I say it is a good video, about 5/casts and I got a good cast, not a complete pancake yet but, I'll keep working on it, KS, Lake Tawankini in Texas, East of Big- D, 🤠🏈, 4-ever man!!

[@jeware1971]

Thanks, I have a friend that is tall and kept telling me to put lead in mouth. Know I know, I'll practice and teach my daughter, she wants to cast. Again, thanks. That's better than throwing half of it over shoulder.

[@OMOLMentoringinc]

I have been doing everything right except throwing the weight hand behind me to spin. Which explains why I got distance and semi-open. The gold nuggets you learn in a day can make you very efficient

[@tcon6504]

Dude! I bought my first cast net about a week ago. First throw grabbed a couple of Manhattan. Next row got a Manhattan but that was cheating because there was a big ball in front of me. Everything else has been a total disaster. I have watched dozens of videos trying to explain this to me and yours is by far the clearest and easiest example of what to do. Thank you! Tim

[@openstenosis]

Those Manhattans are hard to catch, I’d go after the Bronx’s, or even the Staten Islands

[@jamesrahn8339]

Dude...big fan. Just gotta say this was the best how to for a 6' net I have seen. I have been trying other methods and just couldn't get it. I get it open every time with this method and great instruction!! Thank you!!!

I'm going to try the snapping of the lead line method. Thanks

[@justinbennett9998]

So far out of 12 other videos this one seems to work the best. Thanks man.

[@justinbennett9998]

I spent 4 hours yesterday mastering this. This really is the easiest throw I've found so far. It's idiot proof.

[@ka4ezy]

Nice tutorial. I bought a 5 ft. net to cast for bait from my kayak when the artificials aren't working. I'm going to try your method.

[@triplethreatfishing9136]

Awesome tip. Thats the way I throw all of my nets!!

[@GeorgeBonez]

Not me. I know you guys like this patty or pancake method but I use my special “taco” method. I don’t think anyone can copy me. When I really get warmed up I break out my secret “crumpled tin foil” technique! 😂 Not a single fish can get into my net baby!!!

[@jessejuliano4283]

Thank you so much I can’t wait to try this

[@mikedobro2838]

Just ordered it on Amazon through your link. Going to try tire line net vs mono. It looks to be easier to use than mono.

[@usersss100]

thanks JC. after watching a few other clips on how to set up the net before casting, your clip was the simplest to grasp. it helped alot!!

[@roberthurtado2396]

Lol.. that was real action right there... thanks for your vide... life is fun when your fishing...

[@edgarcorrea6085]

I got a net about a month a go & been going nuts since then 🤣🤣

This was a great explanation! Going to give this method a shot for sure. Thank you!

You are amazing, I've been trying for months but got it first try with your method

[@renealbaladejo3698]

Very nice tutorial Rad. Truly appreciate your video. A very constructive lesson for all Fisherman!!! Thank you. Your the best

[@Lovetolivetruely]

Thank you so much for posting this. I think I have the same net and I was practicing today, and it was an ultimate fail. So you have really helped me out a lot.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I've perfected it some since making this video. What I've found is when you grab the net at the top, grab it with your hand in the position where your thumb would be pointing down toward the bottom of the net. That seems to work best. I hope that makes sense.

[@Lovetolivetruely]

@@RadReelingFishing No but maybe it will when I go practice tomorrow. 😆

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@Lovetolivetruely Grab it toward the top with your hand facing the opposite direction of how I grabbed it at 3:12

[@Lovetolivetruely]

@@RadReelingFishing I'll give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the tips.

[@Pescador2022]

Nice Video!...that spin/twist with the left hand is what makes it work.

[@jshall1000]

Jc great video. I have a question i did a search but couldnt find what i was looking for. My 6 ft the brail lines r all twisted. Ive ran that spacer above the horn but it still goes back twisted. Any ideas why and what i can do. A new 1 not a option right now

[@MrJag0583]

great tutorial. really thorough instructions and multiple camera angles. makes it really easy to learn.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks

I copied your excellent tutorial but you're saying it's a "third" on the shorter side BUT, clearly, it's more like a half or a little more. You're vids have helped me fish and catch more. Many thanks :)

i got a new 7ft net. soaked it in hot water and fabric softener. as suggested.... and it still looks like i am throwing a fluffy poodle... what the heck !!!! what casting net would you suggest, that is limp and easy to work with ???? i live in Texas, and a 7ft net is legal, nothing larger...

[@anthonylawlor9130]

Great teacher....enjoyed some of your knot tips. Best of luck.

[@snookcatcher1]

Thanks for the great!!! Video!!!!. Question, In one of your videos would you speak to your view of the use of gulp or pro cure scented products for lure fishing. That would be super helpful! I see lots of guys in videos using scented baits and suggesting them, but you don't seem to use any scented baits when you fish with artificials.

[@trampster7306]

Greetings from the UK JC - great video! Thinking of buying one of these Cast nets here. Hey, did you get your GoPro back?

[@Nerocaratic]

Just tried this method out with my 8’ net and i like it. Tried another way and couldn’t even get close. With This method I’m getting like a 70% spread. With a little practice I’ll be be throwing pancakes in no time. Gonna try getting some bait tomorrow. Wish me luck! And thanks for the helpful video!

[@RadReelingFishing]

You are welcome. Since making this video I've discovered that it works best if I grab the top area of the net with my thumb facing toward the lead lines. In other works opposite of how I grabbed the to of the net in the video.

This looks identical: amzn.to/2GIjAx3

[@jonrinko290]

I have a smaller one, so I skip the 1st "curl" and just add the 1/3 of the net to my fist thats holding the net and rope. Everything else is the same for me. To think I used to put a piece in my teeth when I was younger. Great video!

Now this is how you throw a net. I see people throwing it over their shoulder and im just like, you tryina catch bait or catch yourself 😅
