How To Throw A Big Cast Net The Easy Way

Want to discover the simple steps to throwing a 10-foot cast net with the least amount of effort? Then check out this cast net method called "The Triple Load."
I believe it is the easiest way to throw a big cast net (Chasten Whitfield, the girl with the pink cast net, is a small girl and can throw a heavy 10ft cast net pretty easy using this method). It is also the method that she teaches young boys and girls to use while at fishing expos.

Here are a few things you will learn in this cast net tutorial:
1) The best way to hold a 10-foot cast net
2) How to properly throw a 10-foot cast net
3) How to fix any cast net throwing mistakes (we do this by putting colored tape around the net to see which pieces are causing the issues)
Here are a few things we discovered in terms of which part of the load controls which potential problem areas of the cast net throw:
The far left to center section is controlled by your back hand
The front right to forward right section is controlled by your leading hand
The front left to mid-distance left is controlled by your back or shoulder

Her last tip about holding on until your hand gets back to your side brought it all together and I realize what I have been missing. Thanks!

[@bangingbassholes7964]

Simplest and most effective casting I’ve seen yet! THANKS

[@flukeguru1]

TH ANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION. AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO ON UTUBE FOR THE 5TH TIME I UNDERSTAND WHY I PUT EVERYTHING IN MY RIGHT HAND.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you found this helpful - practice makes perfect!

[@austinstults7033]

Sometime in future cast net videos you guys may want to mention advantages to carrying several different sized nets aside from the obvious reasons everyone talks about. I always sling a 10 or 12 foot early in the morning, until about 8am or so but some days you don't always catch the bait early and it pays to have an 8 footer in the boat for when the bait starts to get shy and stays out at a distance from the boat. Seems like most people don't realize that little tip but being able to load the smaller net faster and sling it to the end of the rope has saved me on many occasions.

[@larryfrancis3660]

Very nice. Haven’t thrown a net in 10+ years. This video is awesome. I used to put the net in my mouth and hated it. This is much easier. Thanks.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for watching!

[@fredrubble5024]

I used to live in the tropics, Far North Queensland, and you definitely DO NOT want to put nets over your shoulder there. Quite aside from the fact that you get soaking wet after the first throw, nets up there can come back with tiny deadly jellyfish stuck in them, as well as very small catfish which have extremely painful, barbed spines on them. Yes, you can inspect your net minutely after each cast, but who has the time to do that? I generally fished at night, under the lights from a railway bridge, because I worked during the day and it was too hot anyway. You simply couldn't see every little nasty in the net. I used to walk some distance to find areas to cast, and the net would bang against my legs (in shorts) as I did so. I missed a couple of those nasty little catfish, and it was really painful.

[@andyniebel1681]

Best video, simple to understand and apply. Caught the menhaden I needed with your method.

[@dvfreelancer]

As the worst cast net thrower in Florida, I recommend this video. Turns out it was little things messing up my casting technique.

[@stephaniegarfield552]

Great instructional video! Nice moves by the net thrower and nice idea of placing different colored tape on the net.

[@KeyWestKayakFishing]

Thanks guys, great vid, always wondered how to cast the "wet' way properly, I'm defs gonna give it a crack (while it's still warm, I'll still go my old way during winter no matter how well the triple load works)

[@dennissmith6102]

Thanks for sharing the video. I love to fish artificial bait as I wade fish the grass flats in St. Pete. I have been doing this since last December but it seems the bite has slowed on the artificial baits so I am just starting to learn to catch live bait. I look forward to learning this technique as I throw my new 6" net. Thanks again for your help.

Awesome. I have a screwed right shoulder so this should help me. TY.

awesome analysis,just amazing great teaching vid,, im an expert net throwing with my tteeth method on 8ft and under , but i think this may do the trick for teaching me how to do it without massive strength i have to use to spin the net and save my teeth!

[@Saltstrong]

Glad that you enjoyed this cast net throwing tutorial.

[@reggiereyes1]

Good informative vid that will show what might be the problem using tapes as flags, I would have like it better if you can show how to solve the possible problems. Another video perhaps on how to solve those possible problems? Thanks!

[@dailyfish6949]

thx!

[@galalmostafa4615]

🌹Thank you

[@countryroadsusa]

One thing you kind of forgot to mention in the video, If you throw the net with this load you will pretty much be completely soaked if you have to throw it a second time.

[@pitbullbred305]

Robotkins52 absolutely soaked! Gotta make it count!!! Even if the captain is yelling throw it already!!

[@philippiansfourfour1081]

Lunkerdog’s method is the best.

[@claytonpegram6035]

Make sure Luke gets his net back when your done!

[@dudeonacow9917]

Good comment man. Who says men cant throw pink nets!!! lol

[@MshukzBoo]

Link for the pink cast net please?

[@phamv01]

Nice

[@bufalo9845]

SMART.

[@cheapescapefishing57]

I throw an 8 footer with the weights split in half in one hand. I think I could do the 10 footer the same way. But this looks like a great method for smaller people. Great throw little miss, if you would have been on top of bait you would have cleaned them out.

[@outdooradventuresumanrana2249]

Looks complicated but this is easy way for beginners

[@isiskashyap6025]

awesome!!!!!! I want a pink cast net too 😭😭😭

[@mcheng102]

I believe on this website. They called it RED. www.allisoncastnets.com/

[@tmise50]

So if the left side is flat what should I be doing to correct it?

[@jeffhorton258]

That was great but I kayak fish any idea how to throw one while sitting in a kayak. I have a hobie outback

[@Saltstrong]

I have not yet found a way to throw a cast net while sitting in a kayak. If you find a way, please let us know. Tight Lines!

[@finnsnracks2085]

What brand net is that?

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

Huge tip: always wear a button up shirt and button fly jeans (w/out knee holes) for max distance..

[@tarheeltexan]

We are only allowed a 7' net in Tx. what method would you use for a net that size? And is there any certain brand that you recommend and what specs do you prefer? Great stuff as always!

[@_redrum_x]

tarheeltexan for me 8 ft is the breaking point. I go triple load with 8 ft and up. I like to one hand 7 ft and down

[@tarheeltexan]

Thanks for that

[@smuffat89311]

good stuff! But, I wonder if she'd do just as well as far as the size of the final pancake with an 8 ft net as it will be lighter and easier for her to throw and may get a true pancake with full opening which could equal the size of her 10' final opening? I'm guessing this is probably 1.5lbs/ft. If so, it would be 13% lighter in weight. I'm not sure if that would be enough of a difference but very curious about the result of that experiment. For someone who is stronger, definitely, the 10' net would yield best result as long as you have a good throw. Just curious for someone who is smaller, like her.

[@craighebert4655]

I’m a lefty so I guess I would load everything up mirror opposite?

[@khoa-nguyenvan4639]

she was on Florida Sportsman lol that's cool yal got her on the team

Yes, we are thrilled to have her on the Salt Strong team!

Maybe it didn't get as spread out as others do, but she'd still have bait in the boat and that's what matters.

when is your shopping site back on

Thanks for showing interest in our fishing apparel. We're upgrading the entire shop and all products right now. We hope to have it back up by early April.

Must be a Florida thing. Doing that in Louisiana, we'd be full of mud and soaking wet. Cool method though.

[@TheAssaultScar]

first time ive seen a all pink net

[@Saltstrong]

Yes, I'm imagine that there have been very few pink cast nets made... especially at the impressive 10 ft size.

[@chastenationfishing]

You can you Rit dye and color just about any net :)

[@nasiasteel9105]

I uses a 12 ft all the time

[@jerrywalker6043]

Make sure to bring a change of clothes if you need to throw it more than once.

[@johnciliberto2942]

done a good job you should buy her a pair of pants cuz she got holes torn in both nees of her pants

[@bonexsher]

Who is the girl 👧🤔

[@flukeguru1]

I'M CONFUSED. I THROW WITH MY LEFT HAND. WHY WOULD I PUT THE LINE IN MY RIGHT HAND? WHY WOULD EVERYTHING GO IN MY WEAK SIDE?

[@Saltstrong]

Hey there! If you are left-handed, perform the opposite actions in the video with your dominant hand and you will be able to cast the net with confidence. Have the net in your right hand so you can twist and let go with your left!

[@harleycooper8595]

A 10fter is heavy as crap 😂 takes a lot of throwing smaller ones to get to that stage …..I got a 9ft er and it’s heavier than my mates 10ft chain 😂 sinks so so fast but man …it’s hectic to throw gives your bicep….shoulder head a big workout after 2 casts 😂 incase I didn’t stress this enough ….you have to be moderately strong to actually cast a 10fter 😂👍

[@jmeadows8890]

what about a five foot net

[@Saltstrong]

You can use this same method shown for a 4 ft net for a 5 ft net: www.saltstrong.com/articles/cast-net-tutorial-for-kids/

no thanks I'll stick to my six-footer about time you get that thing ready to throw them baits going to be gone

LOL. Don't wait to get your net ready.

Loading 10-12 foot nets are just as fast as a 6 once you know how to throw it lol I can throw my 12 foot net as fast or faster and just as efficient as anyone with a 6 foot.
