Caring for Your Cast Net:
1 Prior to using your cast net, let it soak overnight in a solution of freshwater and fabric softener. This will soften and lubricate the monofilament netting and braille lines, and it will relax the netting from tight packing.
2 Inspect your net before every use, mending any cuts or tears.
3 Rinse your cast net with freshwater and hang until the leadline is completely dry. Do not use any chemicals to clean your net.
4 Never hang your net with the leadline off the ground. This will tighten the knots and will remove the "broken-in" feel.
5 Store your castnet in a cool, dry environment. Never expose it to the sun for extended periods because sunlight is harmful to the monofilament netting.
6 Using your cast net in areas of reefs, rocks, or other submerged objects could lessen the life of your net. Avoid these areas if possible when casting your net.
