They do work I had one on a 7ft net with about 2.25 lbs per ft. And I worked every time. Until my dog chewed it up! They are worth it if you don't know how to throw a net saves a lot of time. I did seem to make a few people mad because I would go and throw my net 2 times and catch all the bait I needed and they hd been there for hours tryin to catch some.

i have a 7 ft'er that is so heavy i hate useing it..3 throws and my shoulders hurt..i think it's better to work smarter than harder..glad its not a gimmick

Last time I was at bass pro they had them.
Well worth it.

Just learn to throw it the right way and you'll never need a big plastic disk to have to keep up with.

ds i can throw a net as good as most,if not better..i was just pointing out that stretch it lift it and chunk it is way faster and easier than dividing it,biting it, throwing a wet net on your shoulder blah blah blah...you could walk to work but i bet you drive..it's human nature to try to find a more efficiant way of doing things

Throwing a net isn't automatic. I have seen 8 year old kids that can throw perfect circles every time. I myself had thrown the net literally 1000s of times using just about every method you can you find on youtube and I still stink at throwing the net. Persistance or finding a fishing buddy who can throw better than I can have served me well.

I just have to dispell the myth that anyone can learn to throw the net well.

I learned this past weekend when throwing my net out of my boat standing on the casting net it allows more time for the net to open vs my driveway. I get bigger circles!

Regarding the ring, well my therapist told me that "I will never grow as long as I am contempt prior to investigation"

I got one for Christmas, have not installed it yet, but I plan to.

I just bought one...I guess I will find out if it catches bait or just fishermen.

this blue frisbie thing rocks... threw it about 10 times last night and my shoulder wasn't even tired...well worth 30 bucks
