ELITE Series advantages:

1.      True six-panel design for larger spread:

We GUARANTEE that our ELITE series cast nets have the largest spread in Australia

(Compared with same size and style nets offered by competitors. A few custom net makers can offer similar quality, but the price will be $200+ per net)

2.      Highest quality monofilament mesh on the market. Japanese material: it doesn’t need any stretching or “pre-stretching”. We use the strongest 0.30mm and 0.33mm line.
 
3.      Chain bottom

Forget about drawstring tangles: using this net will be much faster and easier than ever!

Better spread due to uniform weight distribution - easier to cast

Moreover, the continuous weight line has a better seal on the bottom and allows the net to sink evenly.

Best quality strong and durable hot dip galvanised chain –  will not rust!
We do not use lead chain, because lead is toxic and such chains break easily.

4.      1.1 LB/FT weight load – fastest sinking – your catch will have no time to escape!

   
On top of that:

Reinforced mesh along the bottom for extra strength and durability.

Advanced assembly technique and high level of quality control leave little room for defects

With a 9m premium quality handline, you’ll be able to cast in deeper waters or from a jetty

Reliable horn prevents drawstrings from tangling

 

With 1.1 lb/ft weight load this cast net is the FASTEST SINKING DRAWSTRING CAST NET IN AUSTRALIA. Compare this with other products on the market! Our drawstring cast nets were designed for faster sinking and they will catch more bait of better quality. And you can effectively use them in deeper areas! Your catch will have no time to escape. 

 

Choosing a cast net online now is more difficult than ever before.

Open any ad and you will be bombarded with claims about superb characteristics of the product. Here are a few recommendations that will help you make the best choice.

AVOID CHINESE SELLERS. They are easy to identify:

1. They claim that the item is in Australia and use Auspost logo in their pictures. If you open their feedback score, you’ll usually see that they are registered in China. This means that you’re looking at 2-4 weeks postage (China -> Sorting centre in AU -> local delivery by Auspost).

2. They sell thousands of various unrelated items. You will get absolutely the WORST quality, because they don’t know anything about cast nets and just buy the cheapest net that they can find.

3. They steal our ad text, but they don't even understand its meaning. They often add a few sentences in broken English and some pictures from internet (showing people casting completely different nets).

Instead, you could BUY OUR NETS, which are made of the most expensive and highest quality components. 

You deserve a high quality product, which will perform much better and will serve you for years.

Sold by 100% Australian company and designed in Australia by true cast net specialists and enthusiasts.  

 

WHY OUR CAST NETS ARE THE BEST ON EBAY

You'll find on Ebay all kinds of traders trying to flog their goods with all kinds of promises their products will do. Their idea of business is simple: source the cheapest cast nets available, add 200% mark-up, and hope that you will eat it up just because the quality of their products is similar to what is sold in retail chains. The fact of the matter is that Cast Net HQ represents the genuine cast net professionals. Also we are not greedy and we’re using very small mark-up to make our best quality nets more affordable for you. We use our products all the time and get them made to the highest quality standards. You can only get a cast net of comparable quality if you order your net custom made ($300+). Our Factory also supplies top American cast net brands. Our design has

HIGH QUALITY 1" OR 3/4" MONOFILAMENT MESH MADE FOR LONG WEAR WITH ALL KNOTS DOUBLE TIED.

Why is this important? This mesh will serve you longer. Double tied knots make the mesh really strong. If you snag our net and have to force it out, you have a much better chance that it will not tear. And even if it does tear, the chances are that the tear will be much smaller (and easier to fix) and your net will not be ruined. Our nets also feature double selvage, which protects the net in the most vulnerable areas.

OUR DRAWSTRING NETS ARE LOADED WITH 1.1 LB/FT HOT DIP GALVANISED STEEL CHAIN

Many other nets on the market have only 0.60 - 0.75 lb/ft load! With 1.1 lb/ft weights our drawstring nets were designed for superfast sinking and they will catch you more bait of better quality. And you can effectively use them in deeper areas! If thrown simultaneously, our net will often hit the bottom while a net from competition is still floating on top. Your catch will have no time to escape. 

OUR CAST NETS HAVE FULL SPREAD

There are many nets on the market that do not spread fully (if you try to spread such net on the ground, there will be a big mesh tail in the middle). Effectively, your 10ft net will spread like an 8-footer. We consider this a serious defect and we would never sell something like that (maybe only auction it for $0.01). So, when you buy online, if you don’t see a fully (flat on the ground) spread net on the picture, chances are that it is a low-quality 60-75% spread net. Same goes for the nets that are spread with a big cone in the air (the cone will become a useless tail if laid flat on the ground).

These expensive design features make our products the best.

Our aim is to bring the highest quality cast nets to Australian market. Designed for fishermen by fishermen. 
Here we sell directly to customers, eliminating all middlemen. That’s how we can guarantee best quality for the price.  

Bottom Pocket nets with 6 - 12 Ft radius and 1" & 3/4" Mono mesh are available! 9 - 12 FT Top Pocket nets are available too! Please check our other listings or visit our eBay Store  

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What are the advantages of a drawstring cast net when compared with bottom pocket and top pocket nets?

A: Drawstring is the only type of cast net used by American fishermen. The reasons for this are:

1. It is perfect for catching baitfish and prawns. Catching prawns & mullet with a drawstring cast net youtube videos: prawns, mullet, heaps of mullet

2. It closes from bottom thus catching more fish and prawns. In other types of cast net fish often escapes through the bottom of the net. When a drawstring net is closed, nothing gets away.

3. It can be operated much faster: you don’t have to manually pick the catch (or debris) out of the net’s pockets.

4. It can be closed before it reaches the bottom and it will retain all the catch. This is useful in deeper areas or if you have to cast over a snaggy bottom. If you pull out a bottom pocket net before it hits the bottom, you will probably lose a significant portion of your catch.

Q: I’ve been told that to get a high quality cast net I need to have it custom made... Is that true?

A: Not anymore! Cast Net HQ was specifically created to solve that problem.

Q: What mesh size should I get?

A: The sinking speed also depends on mesh size. Smaller size mesh creates more drag. We recommend 1-inch mesh for general applications (i.e. catching baitfish, prawns and mullet), and 3/4-inch mesh if you’re after smaller bait.

Q: What radius should I get?

A: It depends on your needs and casting abilities. The main idea is that a bigger net covers larger area and catches more bait/prawns/fish. If we assume that nets open fully or “pancake” and take the area covered by a 10ft radius net as 100%, then a 6ft net would cover 36%, 8ft – 64%, 9ft – 81%, and 12ft – 144%. We usually recommend 8 FT nets for beginners, 10 FT nets for average fishermen, and 12 FT for experienced casters. 

Q: I live in WA, NT or TAS: how soon will I get my new net?

We're committed to getting it to you ASAP and usually arrange the postage on the same day (next business day courier pickup). Our QLD customers can expect 1-3 business days delivery.
WA, NT and TAS are harder to reach and deliveries to those states usually take one week (or a few more days for remote areas of WA and NT).
