Betts Super Pro Cast Net
The Betts Super Pro is a premium cast net for experienced throwers targeting larger baitfish. The 5/8" mesh is sized for menhaden, mullet, and other bigger baits that slip through standard mesh. The 6-panel design opens wider and rounder than 4-panel nets, and 1.4 lbs per foot of lead weight sinks it fast before bait can escape.

A Pro-Grade Net for Serious Bait Catching
The Super Pro is not a beginner net. It is heavy, throws wide, and sinks fast. That is exactly what you need when menhaden or mullet are finning on the surface and you have one shot before they scatter.
The 6-panel construction creates a rounder opening than 4-panel nets, covering more water per throw. The 1.4 lb/ft weight gets the perimeter down before fast-swimming bait can duck under the lead line. The storage bucket keeps the net organized and salt-free between trips.

5/8" Large Mesh
Sized for menhaden, mullet, and other larger baitfish. Smaller mesh nets these fish too, but 5/8" allows faster sink rate and easier untangling.
6-Panel Design
Six panels open wider and more evenly than 4-panel nets. The result is a larger, rounder spread that covers more water and catches more bait per throw.
1.4 lbs Per Foot
Heavy lead line sinks the net perimeter fast. Essential when targeting quick-moving bait that can escape a slow-sinking net. The weight also helps the net settle into the bottom in current.
How to Throw a Cast Net
- Coil the hand line in your throwing hand
- Drape the net over your arm and load the lead line
- Spot your bait and position yourself within throwing range
- Throw in one smooth motion to open the net fully
- Let the lead line sink to the bottom, then pull the hand line to close
- Retrieve and transfer bait to your live well

What size net should I get? +
Match net radius to your arm span and throwing ability. Larger nets cover more water but require more skill to throw. See our cast net collection for size options.
Is 5/8" mesh too big for small bait? +
Yes. Small bait like pilchards and glass minnows will swim through. For smaller bait, try the Betts Tyzac or Fitec Super Spreader with finer mesh.
How heavy is this net? +
At 1.4 lbs/ft, a 6-foot radius net weighs about 8.4 lbs. It is a heavy net that requires good throwing technique. Our net selection has lighter options for beginners.
Lead vs non-lead weights? +
Lead sinks faster and throws more consistently. Non-lead (iron) options like the Tyzac are environmentally friendlier. Both catch bait effectively.
What bait species is this net best for? +
Menhaden, mullet, herring, and other larger baitfish. The 5/8" mesh lets water pass through for faster sink while retaining fish above a certain size. See our inshore guide.
Does the storage bucket help? +
Yes. Storing the net in the bucket prevents tangles and keeps salt off the mesh between trips. It extends the net life significantly. Browse our net collection.
