FRABILLSeine Net | Top-Performance Seine Nets

Nice, exactly what was described.Very light weight which will be nice when seining.

Came as expected and works great for getting the duck weed out of the pond. Was able to pull in a few fish, frogs, turtles as well. So far it seems to be holding up even though we are pushing it to the weight limits with all the duck weed being pulled to the side of the pond.

It’s a seine. Great way to catch a bunch of minnows. Laws are tricky about using them so be sure you know what is allowed in your area.Things I don’t particularly care for with this seine is the sag in it doesn’t seem to be as much as one’s I have had in the past. This could be the size I got. Next thing the rope to tie it to the pole could be made of different material that is not so bulky and holds knots better. The biggest complaint I have on this seine is the weights on the bottom. I understand that we are going to a lead free world but more weight is needed to keep this guy down for easy use.Don’t let my negativity detour you. Overall it sturdy material and worth the price. After all it’s just a seine and you can’t buy the material and make your own for as cheap.

Everything was included for attaching to poles for use. Strings were long enough to attach to each handle and allowed for easy usage.Perfect.

Looks good quality materials. Definitely needs more weights and more or bigger floats. I plan on adding weights from old cast net lead line to mine. Do wish i bought the 20' instead of the 12'

I bought the 4x4 with the poles and everything to be an umbrella net. First, the way the poles are made, after a few uses I started seeing wear on the ropes where they contact the metal poles, I made an adjustment to the design and it solved that problem, for now. Second problem is that the poles flex and bend, they don't hold their shape after a few uses, so I end up having to straighten them regularly. Third problem is that the poles don't lock into the center piece so they are constantly falling out. Lost one of them in my pond and now I am waiting on a fishing magnet to try to recover it.

I have used seines extensively for almost 60 years now. My two seines had lots of patches so I thought I'd get a new one. I found this seine to be unusable and it ended up discarded. There are three things about this net that make it unusable: First, it is polyester. All the old nets, and all the good nets are nylon. Nylon bends easily and makes that nice big fold that traps minnows. Polyester is stiff and does not. Second - good seines have lead weights to help them hug the bottom. This net has much lighter steel weights. The weights hove no weight to them, and worse, their large surface area catches the current and pulls it out from under the net. Third, these nets have these worthless weights hanging several inches below the net. On a good net, the weights will be even with the bottom of the net. Being below the net, causes the bottom of the net to drag back behind the net, which allows fish to escape. Evidently all "on the shelf" nets made these days are made exactly like this one and every one of them are worthless. If someone wants a good net now, you have to contact a net-maker and have it made. I threw this one away after using it twice. My old nets with patches are far superior. I then called a net-maker and ordered a good net. Yes, they cost about $90 to $150, but for those like me who use nets all the time, my time is worth something. Yes, this net is "sturdy." But sturdiness in nets is not what you want. This polyester net ruined two fishing trips. I'll never take a polyester net with steel weights on the river again!!

Catches bait fish quite easily.
