If you haven’t heard about Dropout Cast Nets in the Tampa Bay area yet, I would be surprised. They have hit the market with a storm, with many of the Bay area fishing guides adding them to their arsenal. They are the best bang for the buck in cast nets. They are using higher quality mesh netting that has been treated to be very soft and supple in your hands and ready to use right out of the bucket. The high quality of the mesh and the treatments they do to it gives you a net that is comfortable to handle and opens easily to get the most bait per throw. This net was developed by Captains and fishermen for fishermen. This is the reason why Captains and guides are making the switch to Dropout Cast Nets. Their 10’ 1/4” & 3/8” nets (most popular nets) are $195 – $205 compared to some of the higher priced nets reaching upwards of $330, which can become costly if you get a hole in it or get it stuck on the bottom. This brings me to their limited lifetime warranty of 50% off MSRP, if you should wreck your net, to get a new one. You really can’t go wrong with Dropout Cast Nets. Check out their variety of different nets from 3’-12’ at https://www.dropoutcastnets.com or check your local Tampa Bay area tackle shop. I’ve made the switch and enjoy using their nets.
