Any suggestions for a cast net for someone with a bad shoulder? I have a Bait Buster 7 foot with 1.5#/foot net and its too heavy with a recent shoulder injury I had. I’m recovering but need something lighter. Any thoughts on the Fitec EZ throw net? Should I use a 6’ 1# net?
I also have a shoulder injury which keeps me from playing golf and made it difficult to use my net. I use a 7 ft. 1.5 lb. per ft. I am right handed and used to rotate counter-clockwise. I now rotate clockwise. This is so much easier and gets a great pancake 99.5 percent of the time. I have tried to teach this to some friends of mine and they just don't get it. I think they try to spin the net and throw to hard. The net does not have to spin and an easy toss is the key. I have inserted a youtube link. You can Google Gale Force twins, they use a modified version. I find it easier to use this technique. I have had expensive Black Pearl nets, but I now use Fitec for their economical value. I always want to use the largest legal net I can. After all, 50% open of 7 ft. is larger than 50% open of 6 ft.
