I understand its not legal to use this as a fishing net, but i was curious to know if it was of a good enough quality to be used as such.

Yes its real fish net made of rope. But unless your fishing a small pond you will have to tie a bunch of them together.

I guess it depends on the type of fish. But I do believe that the quality of this particular net would suffice.

Probably not. It's a baitcaster, so when first learning, line is easily tangled on the reel. A spinning combo is much easier, and plenty of fisherman stay with them forever. Will he fish in the ocean? Then he needs it to be designed for use in salt water.

Yes it is good but depending what you are using it for. It is very visable if you want to use it so it can be easily seen. Night fishing with a black light will make it easily standout. But for regular fishing I would stick with green or red.

Yes you can I caught a 29 inch jack cravelle at Cedar Key Fl with it. However I bought a Fitech cast net and like it a lot better. Also if I use it for a couple of hours it gets a little heavy. So if I get another cast net I am going to buy a 4 foot or a 5 foot cast net. hope this helps God bless and keep

I believe it would work for that purpose, I'm a big strong guy, I put on gloves and pulled on the netting to see just how strong it was. I could not pull it apart. Almost two years later and its just as strong as the day I purchased it.

I agree with the last response. This is very thick and difficult to use, yet very similar to fishing line which would be much less expensive.

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

Yes this is very good for surf fishing. You might want to change the line to a heaver line say 20 or 25 LBS depending on what you are fishing for.

Unfortunately, it will not be strong enough because the purpose of the netting is really to prevent birds from perching or occupying an area. The net isn't strong enough to withstand a baseball pitch and will likely wear and tear away even if its temporary. I'm a Pest Control Applicator and would not recommend buying this item for that purpose.

hi Sabrina, the netting that I ordered actually came from a fishing company, and seems sturdy enough to be used for catching fish,[ just not whales or dolphins, only medium size fish like trout or similar } I used it for decorating a luau buffet table] the holes may be too big to catch smaller fish..maybe can bring fishing poles just in case..

It is good for jigging ,,, but dont think for troling .. it is a decent rod actually and nice to have

No you would use this for bottom fishing in ocean. You would want a level wind real which makes your line go back and forth . ABu Garcia makes great reals for salmon.

Yes this is a great net. I have a crank style mechanism as well and I was able to pull it nice and tight it's been up for several months in all kinds of weather and still looks great.

Actually I haven't used it yet. I bought it primarily to keep in my vehicle so I always have a fishing pole available as I travel the backcountry in Colorado. I can tell you that it is well made and I believe it would be fine for lake fishing. Hope this helps.

I bought mine for my hobby of model rocketry. It works great, I imagine it would work good for fishing as we'll.

Potentially yes, You have to know that the net comes without the top and bottom supports depicted in the photo accompanying the item. You'll need to rig something up. Ropes are rough nylon designed for outdoors.

Yes. I am currently using it for fresh water topwater lures but it can be used for any lure of small to medium size
