Betts Tyzac Series Cast Net

Received my order promptly and was able to try it a couple times. Seems to throw well enough, I definitely need to practice a bunch more.Product photo is misleading. My 4' cast net DID NOT COME IN A BOX. Just a cheap vinyl bag with two snaps. Do not select this over some other choice because you think it comes with the pictured plastic storage box. It does not.

The net is exactly as described and does exactly what I need. It is used for netting gizzard shad to be used as bait. The only real problem with this order is that it shows that it comes in a box, which it did not. It came in a clear plastic bag with snaps. May not be a big deal to some, but I wanted the box to protect the netting for storage in my boat or garage. The plastic bag won't hold up and is a pain to get the net back into for storage. Needed to buy a box now to store the netting in.

The Betts Tyzac 6 foot and 3/8th inch mesh cast net is a good beginners net or for some one on a budget. It is a lot different compared to the Hi-Tider and Old Salt series from Betts but, you get what you paid for which is an okay net. I've used it for a month now and it is showing signs of deterioration. The line is getting brittle and a few holes have developed. But overall, this net is okay and you'll be able to catch plenty of bait with it. The people who complain that this net "doesn't open up" should be blaming themselves for not knowing how to throw a cast net properly. I will say it does not open up as smoothly as the more expensive nets.

The net is great but it never came in the plastic case that’s shown in the picture it came in a plastic bag .Tom

Great nets. I never had any problem and alway do really well catching bait. Dont worry about it not comeing in the utility box. You will never be able to get them back in. 4ft and some 6foot nets come with them and you best bet is to take them out and put them in a 5 gallon bucket.

This is an excellent net sold at good value. Betts has sturdier and faster sinking nets but the Tyzak gets the job done. If you're just learning or throw in medium depth water where snags such as oyster rakes can quickly shorten the life of your net, then this net is for you. Sinks reasonably quickly and is well made. Quick ship and attractive pricing.

The size of 6 ft is the radius - so watch out on your size choices.6 ft is just the right size for me to hold the lead weights off the ground when holding the collar in one hand.The instructions included are good except I like to throw it back-handed across the body like a frisbee - because it opens all the way for me that way.

Love cast nets! If you are a beginner or this is your first net, make sure you do your research and learn how to throw it and then practice! This will save you from unnecessary frustration and help you catch more bait!
