get the cracker, I own several other cheap nets and they just plain suck compared to this net. Once you throw a cracker or calausa and watch it open and see the sinkrate you will never buy another net. You will waist a lot less time #^&#^&#^&#^&ing with these nets then the light cheapo ones. Ask you self one question...do you want to catch bait or do you want to get frustrated seeing the bait get away.


PS to throw a 10' in MA you need a commercial bait license. I would get it instead of buying the 8' net. (which technically is just over the 200 sq ft limit as well but they probably will nut bust your but

Actually around here they use flaoting or sinking gill nets, under a certain size no license is needed. I had not considered a throw net because they are not that thick (ususally)....

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
