CAST NET

A cast net is a circular fishing net with small weights(sinkers) around its outer edge. When thrown by hand, it opens into a circle mid-air, sinks quickly to trap small fish or baitfish near the bottom, and closes into a pouch when pulled back in. Local options can be explored via Maimun Fishing & Tackles Ltd based in Karen, Nairobi.

Key Parts and Design

Lead Line: Weighted perimeter rope that makes the net sink and close.

Horn / Yoke: The central ring or collar at the top where lines connect.

Braille Lines: Internal strings running from the lead line to the top rope to trap fish.

Hand Loop: Wrist strap attached to the main retrieval line.

Common Sizes and Uses

8 ft to 10 ft: Standard sizes for catching baitfish in lakes, rivers, or shorelines.

12 ft: Heavy-duty professional size requiring advanced throwing technique.

Basic Throwing Steps

Secure the hand loop to your wrist.

Coil and hold the main line.

Gather a portion of the net over your arm or shoulder.

Bite or hold a section of the lead line to create an even split.

Cast with a smooth sideways motion (like a Frisbee) so the weights fly outward to form a round circle on the water.
