Pogie Net

[parker23]

I have been VERY unsuccessful using a casting net. For 2 years I used a cheap one and had success less than 20% of the time. Over this winter I did some research and purchased a Calusa casting net, 1.5#'s of lead/ft. 1" Diameter mesh. I still suck. I am able to throw it and it opens fairly well, however, the most I catch is weed.

I can snag several pogies in the same time it takes me to prep the net, throw, let it sink and retreive it. I would like to have bait that is not wounded from a trebble.

Now I have a $200.00+ net that frustrates me too no end.
