Alvinlite Standard Cast Net – 4.8m Dia, 8-16ft Radius, 3/8-inch Mesh, Heavy Zinc Sinker, Brown

Alvinlite Standard Cast Net: Versatile live bait solution for both freshwater and saltwater

Designed to perform across conditions, the Alvinlite Standard Cast Net features a substantial 4.8 meter diameter with an 8 to 16 foot casting radius. The 3/8 inch mesh strikes a practical balance between catching lively bait and keeping retrieval simple, helping you reach more hauls with less effort. The brown finish blends with natural surroundings, making the net a discreet tool for everyday use on piers, beaches, and boats.

At the heart of this net is a heavy duty real zinc sinker system. The weight is distributed to promote quick submersion and a tight bottom seal, which helps minimize bait escape during retrieval. With an overall weight around four pounds, the net sinks steadily, supporting controlled casts and consistent captures even when currents pick up. Each foot of net carries about one pound of sinking weight, giving you a predictable submersion feel as you cast and retrieve.
