by Frabill

Product Description

This Seine's no Plain Jane... it's a Frabill! Those cheap-o, "Plain Jane" minnow seines might not cost much, but they're no bargain. After a while, they wear out, break down and you're right back where you started. Next time, don't bother with ordinary seines, go with a high-quality Frabill Seine. They're designed from top to bottom for superior quality and performance. Frabill quality: State-of-the-art 1/4" poly mesh captures even the smallest of baitfish, and won't rot or mildew like cheaper nets; Commercial grade floats won't crush or chip apart; High-quality weights are spread evenly along the bottom, providing a uniform spread that hugs the bottom and helps prevent bait from escaping; Mesh is a special non-glare black color that effectively blends into the environment and won't spook baitfish. It's great to catch your own bait! Order ONLINE Now! AVAILABLE SEPARATELY: Other Frabill Seine Nets - word search in our Store for 'Frabill Seine Nets'.

This review is from: Frabill® Seine Net - 4' x 20' 1/4" Black Poly (Misc.)

I have been using minnow seines for over 30 years. I purchased the Frabill seine and was pleased with the quality of materials used in its construction. My disappointment came when I used it. The bottom of the net is not properly weighted, causing it to rise off the bottom when being dragged. Of course this means that the minnows swim out under the net. After 6 passes through water dense with minnows I only managed to catch two of them when I should have caught thousands. If you actually want to catch minnows do NOT buy this product. When I complained about the net's performance to the sales clerk his response was to buy lead weights and sew them to the bottom. This net should be properly weighted at the factory, why should I pay for and install extra weights to make this product work? I returned the net for a refund and will continue to use my 20 year old net until I can find one to replace it that actually works.

I have used this for several years now and it is still holding up well. I am careful to rinse it with fresh water after every use, however. The net functions well and was inexpensive. Our main use is to seine in the shallows of the Chesapeake Bay and then put in a bucket the minnows, crabs, shrimp, etc., that comes out so that the kids can observe. We then throw everything back in the water. As an educational tool, it has been great.
