- Do I need poles to use this seine?
- Yes. The net comes with floats, leads and tie strings but no poles. Carolina sells aluminum seine poles separately, and two are needed to pull the net through the water.
- What size mesh does it have?
- The mesh is 1/8 inch, fine enough to hold small minnows and many aquatic invertebrates while letting water and silt pass through.
- How big is the net?
- It measures 4 by 20 feet, so it is a long two-person seine rather than a one-handed dip net.
- What is included in the box?
- The net itself, with brown lock-weave netting, floats along the top, leads along the bottom and tie strings at the ends. Poles are not included.
- Is it suitable for a school science class?
- It fits field sampling for biology classes and nature studies, provided you have poles and two people to work it in shallow, calm water.
- Can it be used in saltwater?
- It is designed for freshwater sampling in ponds and streams. Rinse it well after any use to keep the netting and hardware in good shape.
