What is the Moonlighter 8FT cast net best for?

Shrimp and small baitfish. The 3/8-inch mesh is small enough to hold them, and the 1.25 lbs-per-foot lead line sinks the net quickly.

How heavy is this net to throw?

The lead line is weighted at 1.25 lbs per foot, which is on the heavy side for an 8 ft net. It sinks fast but takes more effort to throw repeatedly than a 1 lb-per-foot net.

What does double-knotted mesh mean?

Each mesh junction is tied twice, which helps stop the mesh from running if a strand breaks. It also makes the net stiffer and more durable.

What is included with the net?

The net comes with a pro drawstring system, a double-hung lead line, a brass Aussie swivel and a 30 ft floating hand line.

Is 3/8-inch mesh too small for larger bait?

It is fine for shrimp and small baitfish but tight for larger bait. For bigger bait, a net with wider mesh is easier to empty and less prone to snagging.
