Betts Cast Nets

Why are these things so stupidly expensive? Do they really work that well? Looking to get something like the 6ft 3/16 minnow net, but at $130... That would be almost 50 dozen minnows price! Maybe netting some shad would be a good offset, but that still seems freaking expensive.

Search around I was buying the Betts Deep Hole 7' net from Walmart.com for $75. The deep hole nets are more expensive and worth it for catching shad below 10 FOW

Good deal! I think the 3/16 are more expensive though cause more material. $118 plus shipping was the cheapest I could find. Still waiting on it to be delivered.
