This Is How To Throw A 12-Foot Cast Net Without Using Your Mouth

http://how%20to%20throw%20a%2012ft%20cast%20net

Want to know the easiest way to throw a perfect 12-foot cast net pancake?

Then you came to the right place.

I think you are going to love the cast net video below.

For many anglers, throwing a 12-foot cast net can be a real struggle.

So I put the detailed cast net tutorial below to explain the essential steps to quickly mastering the art of throwing a big cast net.

Best of all, the video in this post shows you how to effectively fix any problem areas in your throw if you’re not getting perfect circles (aka – pancakes).

Here are the 3 core topics that we’ll address in detail:

1. How Properly Load A 12-ft Cast Net

2. How To Throw A 12-ft Cast Net

3. How To Fix Problem Casts From Happening Again

The load and casting motion of the net are both of course essential.

But just as importantly (if not more), we’ll dive into the science of fixing problem casts so they don’t happen again.

Because for most weekend warriors, the exact load specifics and muscle memory of the precise timing of the cast gets lost over time.

So I’ll show how to know take the proper corrective action if the net doesn’t fully open.

Although throwing 12-foot cast nets can be tough to learn, the great news is that it becomes quite easy to repeat once you get the proper foundation and timing set.

And using a big net like this can certainly make for a quick loading of the live well with lots of great bait.

The video below shows it all in detail to ensure a quality cast every time:

What Cast Net Brand Is Shown In This Video?

The cast net shown in this video is from Barracuda Tackle. They are based out of St. Petersburg, FL and make high-quality cast nets.

They are the only cast net company that I know of who offers a guarantee to any of their customers who somehow rip their nets (50% off a brand new net to replace the one that got damaged).

Conclusion

Throwing a 12-foot cast net is not nearly as difficult as most people think.

All you have to do is learn the proper hold and throwing technique along with knowing how to effectively fix problem areas if (or I should say when) they occur.

Best of all, once you get it dialed in, you’ll be able to have a good cast whenever it’s needed (even after 3+ years of throwing 12 ft net like I had when filming this video).

Do you have any other cast net tips or questions on getting a cast net pancake?

Hey Luke I know you say it is a Barracuda net but I was wondering which net is it? They have 3 styles Inshore, Pro, and custom. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks Ron

nice instructions. you need to get with lunkerdog and get him to teach how to throw it with one hand and not draping the net over your shoulder getting all wet after one throw

You are right Luke, I don’t know anybody that can throw such a big net with the one hand method. Why kill yourself when the triple load is that effective and easy on your body?
Great video!
