I have bought a couple of betts cast nest in the last month. One old salt 3/8 inch 8 ft radius for catching shad and one 1/4 inch 6 ft radius for minnows and goldfish in the pond. They are both a mono type net and work well once you figure out how to throw them. Look for one that has lead on the bottom they will sink faster than the plastic coated lead or steel the cheaper ones use.
