Quality Cast Net

[PhalanX-SS]

Any one know a net shop or somewhere that sells cast nets that ARENT made from monofilament? I've ragged out 2 this past year, and I'm looking for something that will hold up.

Thanks

I've seen some on sleezebay made of tire cord.

Your profile shows you in Slidell. Have you tried Gus's Tackle & Nets on Old Spanish Trail?

Nope, Gus's slipped my mind. I moved from Slidell about 2 years ago. I'll have to go check em out

I will add this to the details of your search:
You're looking for nylon multifilament.
You're NOT looking for nylon monofilament as that's standard mono.
It's all nylon but it's not usually worded that way in the title.
Search for "nylon cast net", and confirm by reading (or calling and asking) "nylon" or "nylon multifilament".
That's made from nylon twine, that you're looking for.

Exactly, I'm looking for a twine type. I know they exist because Ive seen them. The monofilament just doesn't hold knots very well, or it rips out at the heavier rope on the bottom. Im not sure if the multifilament will be any better, but it's worth a shot

There are trade-offs to both types but the nylon nets are much more durable.
I've been through many cast nets in my life and it's always discouraging to tear one up good. Mono nets can often be patched with light monofilament line especially if you have narrow net needles but you already know they're often too far gone to save.

One drawback to nylon (multifilament) nets is they're so much stronger than mono that you sometimes can't tear them off of a snag so you lose the entire net if you can't get to it well-enough.
Truly a no-such-thing-as-a-free-lunch scenario.

I would also check Alario Bros in Westwego, I haven’t been there in many years but back in the day they sold quality stuff.

Try Champlin Net Co in Jonesville. They are currently showing nylon or monofilament cast nets available. I think the nylon is what you want. Champlin manufactures their own nets.

$50 for nylon 6' at champlon is so much more reasonable than I was thinking, wow. That's better priced than the Walmart/academy ones.

I will definitely take a net that is more durable and have to get in the water to save.

Thanks guys
