How to throw a cast net video

I remember my first cast net a a few years ago. Literally hours spent in the back yard, swearing each time the damn thing didnt do what it was supposed to until I finally got it right. It looks easy right, but just wait until you have your first go at it!

I thought that to help people out I would post a couple of videos that show various techniques so you can learn how to throw a cast net. For what its worth the second video is the technique that I use and it took me about 10 hours (and about 600 swear words) to learn really well.

My Tips for throwing a cast net (so you dont end up swearing and the net doesnt end up in the bin):

  • If you cant get it right dont change everything at once. Make little adjustments to what you are doing and note when the net spread it is getting better (or worse).
  • Dont be afraid to ask around for a demonstration.
  • Remember that it will take some time and dont give up.
I really hope this video helps people out because throwing a cast net for the first time can be a very traumatic experience!

Good Luck
