check out you tube. there are several methods shown. some methods work better that others for nets over 6'. pay close attention to the little things and you should be throwing consistantly in 30 min. or so.

good call george, i was wanderin how i could explian with out a visual and not confuse him more. you.tube it baby, youll get it cuz.

brian, if you throw with your right hand, let the momentum of the net pull it out of your left. If you just let go with the off hand, it won't open up.

Josh hit the nail on the head!!...i even pull down on the net with my left hand when i feel it start to pull free.Just keep at it,and you'll have it in no time

Same here, the off hand is the key. Practice practice practice and learn when to let go with the other hand.

BTW Jerry, that is a nice "bait tank" you have there :smile2:.

Here is the best advice I was ever given.Follow all the setup things you see on the video,BUT dont slip your hand thru the loop at the end of the line.Throw the net and let it go.!!!Buy bait.works every single time gauranteed.:smile2::big_smile:

I use my mouth to throw which is nasty, but oh well, it works.lol

.....also remember to launch it a little upwards as well. That extra height will give it time to open up. Sounds like you are getting it.
Also, have your retrieve line loose at your feet, so it doesn't cause the net to start to fold (or taco shell, as I call it) on you.
Good luck.
