I think if you're wanting to catch the smaller bait get a smaller 1/4 but I would pay more for that net. If you catching catfish bait cheaper 3/8. I have 2 nets now and at one time had 4 for 5. This is a big topic in salt water fishing because of all the different bait you need at different times. Most have many nets check out Richard Geane, he has some videos on this.
