Note: The following instructions assume that the thrower is right-handed. If you are left-handed, simply switch "right" to "left."
1. Cinch rope around your right wrist and coil rope
into throwing hand as shown.
2. Hold net by your side, resting the weights on the
ground, and grasp the net with your throwing hand
at pocket height.
3. Grasp the lead line with your free hand at a position straight down from the end of your right thumb and place between thumb
and forefinger of your right hand.

Caring for Your Cast Net
• Prior to using your net, soak it overnight in a solution of about 2 gallons
of water and one capful of fabric softener. This will soften and relax
the netting, making it lay flatter and throw easier. Do not use any other
chemicals on your net.
• Inspect your net before every use, mending any cuts or tears.
• After each use, rinse your net with fresh water and hang with the lead
line resting on the ground to dry. Store away from direct sunlight.
• Using your net in areas with reefs, rocks or other submerged objects
will lessen the life of your cast net. Avoid these areas if possible.
5. Rotate your body back to the right one-quarter turn
and immediately rotate back to your left, releasing
the net at a slight upward angle into the air in the
direction of your target.
6. The net should hit the water in a circular form. Let the net sink to
desired depth and pull on throw line to close the net. Grasp the horn
and release the throw line to empty the net into bucket or bait well.
4. Grasp the lead line with your free hand at a position
about one arm's length from your other hand. This
will hold the net one-quarter open, as shown.
